bingolong,
OH MY GOD! PLEASE PLEASE SAY IT IS SO!!!!
That is some good stuff right there!
Thank you for posting that.
You know who else I want to see get out there and do their thang again?
The Dazz Band. Group out of Cleveland.
& Madame X (spin off of Klymaxx)
Now, that would be the shit.
I just saw the Emotions perform at the Club Rio here in LA. It was cool, but they are kinda of...big now, as in size. Pretty women, though and can sing their asses of!.

tis2flyyy,
Yeah, it would be good to see the Jones girls too.
I saw a documentary over here it showed one of the band talking about how Sly used to entice pretty girls to his studio and then promise to make them a star. First he would record them singing a demo using a particular tape, and then he would "entertain" for the rest of the time. as he brought in different girls, he would record them over on the same tape. This was done repeatedly over and over again until the tape broke!....so eventually you just had a broken piece of tape spinning around while these young starlet hopefuls were singing their asses off!
Maybe if he makes a comeback he may have to invest in a new tape-reel!! ;p
Peace gee

Check out David Lee roth on Free FM talkin bout Sly.
Listen to it today..he updates the audio everyday.
(
http://david.freefm.com/ click the audio clip about Sly )
Notice he doesn't mention Jimi Hendriks playin at woodstock..lol
I met Dave at L.A. airport in 94...I heard stories from his roadcrew about him but when I met him he was almost the nicest person I ever met.
