about

Starting some 30 plus sounds of the 70's years ago in Petersburg VA, on Virginia State College's campus, three young men started on a musical journey that followed the sounds of the '70's. Rodney Dorsey, a native of Baltimore, Carroll Ellis, jr from Richmond Virginia, and South Boston Virginia born Ray Crawley. Beginning as a accapella gospel quintet, locally performing as "Essence". The three young teenagers began performing on campus talent shows, then started to venture off campus into the supper clubs around the area.Not being content with just being a "regular" group the newly renamed "Ebony Diamond", started to write, arranged and produce their own original material.First recording a single as background vocalists on a track entitled "For As Long As I Live" with their mentor, writer/producer Bernard Smith. The guys along with a tight band began to perform the local club scene, but still always found time to record their own compositions in the studio.Finally after nearly 40 year sitting in a box, this amazing mid-tempo monster, recorded at the famed alpha audio studios in Richmond Va, has made it to its rightful destination. On a 45RPM.
