The Valentinos' " I Can Understand It ", which paved the way for the band's future success. I n 1972, the reorganized group (as a 17-piece ensemble) reached the Billboard R&B top 10 (#4 R&B, #35 pop) with their cover of Bobby Womack and Finding that they had the spark that was missing from the New Birth ensemble, he paired them with the Nite-Liters and original members of New Birth, Londee Loren, Bobby Downs and Alan Frye. Later that year, Bullock discovered a group from Detroit, Michigan called Love, Peace & Happiness, which featured former Marvelettes singer Ann Bogan and brothers Leslie and Melvin Wilson. Their second album, Ain't No Big Thing, But It's Growing, yielded a minor hit with their cover of Perry Como's " It's Impossible", in 1971. The band came together in 1970 with their self-titled debut on RCA.

After discovering a male vocal group, The Now Sound, which featured Bobby Downs, Ron Coleman, Gary Young and George "Slim" House and also a female vocal group, known as Mint Julep, which featured Londee Loren, Tanita Gaines, Janice Carter and Pam Swent, they brought them together with The Nite-Liters plus additional vocalist, Alan Frye, calling the newly formed ensemble, New Birth. In 1969, Vernon Bullock had thought of creating an ensemble of groups for a touring company and Harvey Fuqua and Tony Churchill soon took an interest. The Nite-Liters had a few hits before the formation of New Birth proper, including "K-Jee" (#17 R&B, #39 pop, 1971). Some sources identify The Nite-Liters as the band that played as "The Crawlers" with Chicago artist Alvin Cash on his R&B #1 1964 hit, "Twine Time". Earlier members included Johnny Graham, later of Earth, Wind & Fire and Jerry Bell. In its heyday, besides Churchill on tenor sax and vibes, the band featured Charlie Hearndon on guitar, James Baker on keyboards, Robin Russell on drums, Robert "Lurch" Jackson on trumpet, Austin Lander on baritone sax, Leroy Taylor on bass, and, later, Carl McDaniel on guitar. I ain't too thrilled about the cast, but the trailer looks good and the music it features is a lot of fun as well.The history of the group began with the instrumental outfit, The Nite-Liters, which was originally formed in 1963 in Louisville, Kentucky by Tony Churchill and Harvey Fuqua. Through his preparation for the showdown of the season - the Roller Jam skate off with the Sweetwater crew - X manages to find himself and also help his dad (Chi McBride) get back on track. But when the doors of their local skating rink close, it marks the end of an era and the beginning of another that sees the boys venture into foreign territory - uptown’s Sweetwater Roller Rink, complete with its over-the-top skaters and beautiful girls. In the late ‘70s when roller skating was a way of life, X (Bow Wow) and his pals ruled supreme. That reminds me, has anyone seen anything about this movie? Looks like it could be fun I got a pair of blue skates (with one red and one white stripe) for my 10th birthday along with a copy of this album:
These are all fun songs! I used to roller skate around the neighborhood a lot. E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator She Talks To Me With Her Body - The Barkays Sometimes they would even have all night skates.Īnyway, what are some songs you remember from your old skating rink days?īounce, Rock, Skate, Roll - Vaughn Mason & Crew At midnight, everyone would turn in their skates and dance on the floor until the rink closed at 1:00 a.m. The skating rinks were the first time I ever heard DJs mixing songs, which totally blew me away. I used to go skating probably beginning around 1978 until around 1986. We were too young to get into clubs so the skating rink was the place to be back in the day. Did anyone use to go rollerskating back in the day? Those were the days.
