Bangin' Album, July 31, 2005
Reviewer: Lonnie Rice "Choosey Listener" (K-Vegas, NC) - See all my reviews
I recently went crate diggin for the first time in NYC and while I was there this album was playing in the background. Needless to say, I was blown away by the vocal and chord arrangements I was listening to. This album has a feel to it that will take you straight back to the 70s. The title cut "Make It Last Forever" is a classic right from the gate. Donna McGhee's voice is absolutely gorgeous over these disco-driven tracks. If you break yourself away from the music and listen to what she is saying, there is definitely a love/sexual message there. You can tell she is coming from the heart. Props to Greg Carmichael and Patrick Adams for putting together a fantastic album. This is a classic worth having and it has me looking for other Donna McGhee projects. The girl can go! One of my friends asked to borrow it and I replied: "No my brother. You gotta buy ya own!!!" For real though, you have to get this.
Chaka Khan is my ultimate influence in the music industry, I find her to be sassy, talented, and her vocals are nothing less than great!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I play Donna McGhee lp in my clubs, and on my radio station. There is nothing lacking in this this smash LP, All the songs are great, and Donna carries each and every song to the hilt, she is a dime piece and more. We are awaiting her new Cd, I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I have been a professional singer since 1974, my first singing group I joined after singing gospel all my life, was called "THE FATBACK BAND". Our first album was called Rasing hell, and the hit single off of that LP, was called "BUS STOP". I sang with Fatback for over three years, touring with such groups as "Chaka khan", "Frankie Beverly and Maze". "Crown Heights Affair", and "Tedddy Pendergrass". We traveled all over the world. After completing several albums with them, the last LP we recorded with the late great "Phyllis Hyman".
In 1977, I signed with a company called Red Greg Records, and we worked with the great Producer Patrick Adams. We recorded several hit records at that time. UNIVERSAL ROBOT BAND was created along with BUMBLEE UNLIMITED, which lead to several hits such as, DANCE AND SHAKE YOUR TAMBORINE, and LOVE BUG. Most of the songs recorded were disco hits, and were played at"The Gargage", and Studio 54. While recording with differendt groups, the company signed me with an Exclusive Recording contract, and my first solo albumn was created. It was called "MAKE IT LAST FOREVER", traveling from one side of the country to the other, the hit single "It ain't no big thing" was making a huge buzz for Donna McGhee. While the album was being played all over the country, such as Japan, England, France, and other countries and States, In, New York, "The Gargage", "Studio 54", and other great clubs, were jaming the album. Love Bug was up for a Grammy Award, and I was fortunate enough to do the Dick Clark New Years Eve show twice.
After my contract was up, I signed under Obago Records, where "YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME", written by Phillip Thomas from CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIRS .. Personal thanks to JellyBean Benitiz, for a great re-mix, and my guitarist George Victory, for their performance, on a great song. After several recording for Obago records, I became a freelance artist. I did several commercials, and backup sessions for artists like Salt-n-Pepper, and other artist.
I have done several huge concerts over the years, and singing for huge companies, such as Honda, who produces "The Battle of the Bands" every year in Atlanta, Ga. I am preparing to do ANOTHER tour, that will be dedicated to all my fans, whom I could never thank enough for their support over the years, We are going to Party from state to state,and country to country. Also look for my new CD, which is in progress now, Thanks to all my producers and writers that are helping make this cd, a great one.
I have so many people to thank thus far, and you know who you are, and my photograher, Patrick who is going to make the cover a beautiful piece of artwork, that only he, can do. Thanks, and my daughter Ericka, who designed my custom made t-shirts, and will have a great imput on the cover as well as Patrick.
I must say a special thanks to Chip, you know who you are. And a fabulous producer and still friend, Patrick Adams, and to a special friend a a great bass player, Johnny Flippin, from Fatback, Love you always. And to my husband who is a great man, father, writer, producer and the most talented guitarist , Hodge. I love you babe. And my children whom I cherish with all my heart and soul, my life would not be the same without all four of you.
MAKE IT LAST FOREVER IS MY MOTTO......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
