Speaking of music, my husband and I got to see fab 80's group Midnight Star in concert at the Tennessee Valley Fair. What a great group. First of all the concert was REALLY good. Their voices were on point and they were very entertaining. I got the chance to interview them backstage complements of local photographer Ray. They were so wonderful to talk with. I give them 4 stars!
Here is a little about them from Wikipedia for all of you younger folks who have no idea who I am talking about!
The group was formed in 1976 at Kentucky State University by the Calloway brothers (trumpeter Reginald, and trombone player Vincent), with vocalist Belinda Lipscomb. Signing to RCA Records, they released their first album, The Beginning in 1980, with a host of studio musicians. In 1981, their second album, released on Solar Records Standing Together, reached position #54 on the Top R&B charts. In 1982, they released a third album, Victory. By this time, they had a real band behind them (guitarist Melvin Gentry, bassist Kenneth Gant, drummer Bobby Lovelace, multi-instrumentalist Bill Simmons and keyboard player Bo Watson).
Due to the Calloways' production skills, it didn't take long for Midnight Star to connect with black listeners, hitting the R&B charts with early singles like "Hot Spot" and "I've Been Watching You." Their fourth album, No Parking on the Dance Floor released in 1983, took them to the top of the charts with the first single, "Freak-A-Zoid," which went to number two, and propelled the album to platinum status. Their next album, Planetary Invasion was almost as big, going platinum again and making the pop Top 20 and the number one spot on the R&B charts with its first single, "Operator."
