New Posts For the Summer

Hello!!

I’m going to try to update the blog with new posts for the summer. It’ll be awhile before they will be set up. But enjoy the rest of my previous entries while you’re waiting.

Yours Truly,
The Music Know-It All

Sherrick

Sherrick (born F. LaMotte Smith on July 6, 1957 in Sacramento, California) was an R&B music singer from the late ’80s.
Prior to his solo career, Sherrick was a member of the band, Kagny and the Dirty Rats. They were signed to Motown Records after Raynoma Gordy Singleton (the ex-wife of Motown founder Berry Gordy) and released their self-titled debut album in 1983.

The band also recorded a song for the soundtrack to the 1985 film, “The Last Dragon”, but it was never featured on the album. It was rumored that James Brown would be producing them, but the deal never got done and they were dropped from Motown.

Sherrick provided backing vocals for Rockwell’s albums, “Captured… By An Evil Mind” and “The Genie”. Meanwhile, Raynoma (who saw potential in him) helped him cut tracks for a solo album, but his habit of disappearing due to an addiction to cocaine became an issue. Although she persevered with him, Raynoma was fired from Motown Records.

With the help of Benny Medina, she got Warner Bros. Records interested in Sherrick, but his drug addiction grew worse.

He would frantically call Raynoma, begging her to bring money to destitute parts of Los Angeles, California to pay off drug dealers who would often hold Raynoma’s car (which he took off with) as collateral in order to pay off his debts. One night, he was physically assaulted and shot in the pelvis which hospitalized him.

Despite all of Sherrick’s issues, Raynoma kept the drama away from Warner Bros. Records who were in the process of drawing up a record contract for him. He attended rehab sessions while he was completing his debut album.
In 1987, he released his self-titled debut studio album which peaked at #44 on Billboard’s R&B Albums chart and #27 on the U.K. Albums chart.
The lead single, “Just Call” peaked at #23 on the U.K. Singles chart and #8 on Billboard’s Hot Black Singles chart, staying on the chart for 16 weeks.
The follow-up single, “Let’s Be Lovers Tonight” was released only in the United Kingdom where it peaked at #63 on the U.K. Singles chart.
The third single, a cover version of The Originals’ 1969 song, “Baby, I’m For Real” peaked at #53 on Billboard’s Hot Black Singles chart, staying on the chart for 13 weeks.
The fourth single, “Tell Me What It Is” was only released in the United States, but failed to make any impact on the charts at all.

The last single released from the album, “This Must Be Love” was only released in the United Kingdom, but it also failed to make the music charts either.

Sherrick went on tour across the United States to promote the album where he searched for cocaine in every city on the itinerary; in the middle of the tour, he didn’t return and ended up missing subsequent engagements. At that point, his cocaine addiction became apparent to everyone.

When he returned from tour, Sherrick began working on his follow-up album; however, production on the album ended prematurely after taking thousands of dollars in advance money.

The album was never released and Raynoma ultimately cut ties with him. In 1990, she devoted an entire chapter to him in the book, “Berry, Me and Motown”.

In 1988, Sherrick disappeared from the public eye and married Lynne Conner in November of 1993 where they had three children: Kiriandra, Paris and Chance.

In 1999, Sherrick stated that he was sober and working on new music; however, on January 22, 1999, he died from unknown causes in Los Angeles, California; he was 41 years old at the time of his death.

Body

Body was an R&B music trio from Detroit, Michigan that consisted of the Body sisters: Letitia, Peggy and Francina.

The three women are the youngest of 12 siblings in their family. In 1979, Letitia and Francina provided vocals on jazz singer Betty Lou Landreth’s album, “Betty Lou”. They were discovered by Stevie Wonder and his brother, Calvin Hardaway, and eventually signed a record deal with MCA Records.

In 1987, Body released their self-titled debut studio album. The two singles released from the album: “Middle Of the Night” and “Possession” failed to make any impact on the music charts at all.

During that same year, the Body sisters were featured on jazz musician George Howard’s album, “A Nice Place to Be” on the track, “Sweetest Taboo”. Letitia provided vocals on albums by Eddie Murphy and Tamika Patton.
In 1990, they released their sophomore album, “Easy To Love” which also didn’t make any album charts at all.
The lead single from the album, a cover version of The Isley Brothers’ 1977 song, “Footsteps in the Dark” peaked at #15 on Billboard’s Hot Black Singles chart, staying on the chart for 17 weeks.
The follow-up single, “Touch Me Up” peaked at #12 on Billboard’s Hot Black Singles chart, staying on the chart for 16 weeks. The last single released from the album, “Body” didn’t chart.

In 1991, the Body sisters were featured on singer Keisha Jackson’s album, “Keisha” on the track, “Call Me” (in which Letitia was credited as one of the songwriters).

Between 1992 and 1994, Letitia provided vocals on albums by K.M.C. Kru, Lisa Taylor, Calloway, Kathy Sledge, Cortez, Keith Washington and Patti LaBelle.

These days, it appears as if Body has faded into obscurity; it’s unknown what Letitia, Peggy and Francina are currently up to these days.

Tyren Perry

Tyren Perry is an R&B\pop music singer and actress from the late ’80s. She is the sister of actresses Jaina and Jaimee Foxworth (who was known for her role as Judy Winslow on the ABC sitcom, “Family Matters”).

During her childhood, Tyren would always sing around the house with her sisters. When her family moved to Los Angeles, California, the Perry sisters booked gigs doing session work and performances for Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie’s Children of the World project.

During the mid-to-late ’80s, she guest-starred on television shows such as “Silver Spoons”, “Diff’rent Strokes” and “TV 101”. She also starred in the short-lived television series, “Bustin’ Loose”.
In 1986, Tyren and actress Tonya Townsend released the soundtrack for the animated series, “The Real Ghostbusters” under the name Tahiti. Her work on the album led to Columbia Records signing her to a record deal when she was 16 years old.
In 1989, she released her debut and only studio album, “Don’t Rush It” which failed to make any impact on the charts.
The first two singles from the album: “I Get Butterflies (In My Stomach)” and “You Are My Everything” didn’t chart either.
The last single from the album, “What’s Up?” peaked at #92 on Billboard’s Hot Black Singles chart, staying on the chart for only 3 weeks.

During that same year, she and Jaina provided background vocals on Quincy Jones’ album, “Back On The Block.” In the ’90s, she continued to act in shows such as “True Colors”, “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose” and “Family Matters”.

Tyren’s family later went through financial issues due to her parents putting in so much for their daughters’ careers. She, Jaimee and Jaina formed a short-lived music group called S.H.E. and released their only album in 1996 before seemingly fading into obscurity again.

In later years, Tyren was the lead singer of a heavy metal music group called Kai’s Army. These days (according to research), she lives in Los Angeles, California and has a podcast with her sisters called “The S.H.E. Show”.

Another Bad Creation

Another Bad Creation are a hip-hop\R&B music group from Atlanta, Georgia that consists of Romello “RoRo” Chapman (born on June 15, 1978), Chris Sellers (born on October 19, 1978), David Shelton (born on November 11, 1982) and brothers Demetrius “Red” (born on September 23, 1979) & Marliss “Mark” Pugh (born on April 15, 1982) along with Adrian “G.A.” (General Austin) Witcher.

The group were invited to the house of singer Ralph Tresvant in Los Angeles, California for a week where they met Michael Bivins, who became their manager and producer.
In October of 1990, they released their debut single, “Iesha” which became a hit by 1991, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #6 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Singles chart, staying on the chart for 25 weeks.
On February 11, 1991, Another Bad Creation released their debut studio album, “Coolin’ at the Playground Ya Know!” which peaked at #7 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on Billboard’s R&B Albums chart.
The follow-up single, “Playground” peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #4 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Singles chart, staying on the chart for 18 weeks. It was also moderately successful on the dance charts, peaking at #36 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Music\Club Play chart, staying on the chart for 5 weeks.
The third single, a cover version of New Edition’s 1983 song, “Jealous Girl” peaked at #25 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Singles chart, staying on the chart for 13 weeks.
The last single released from the album, “My World” peaked at #77 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Singles chart, staying on the chart for 5 weeks.

During that same year, Mark and David appeared in the music video for Michael Jackson’s song, “Black or White.” In 1992, the group was featured on the East Coast Family’s song, “1-4-All-4-1″.

In 1993, Another Bad Creation appeared in the film, “The Meteor Man” (along with other music artists such as Big Daddy Kane, Naughty by Nature and Cypress Hill) where they all had their hair dyed blonde for it.
On September 21, 1993, they released their sophomore album, “It Ain’t What U Where, It’s How U Play It” which failed to make the Billboard charts at all.

The two singles released from the album: “I Don’t Wanna Be Grown Up” and “Where’s Ya Little Sista?” also failed to make the charts as well.

According to an article with Parlé Magazine in 2020, the reason that the group’s second album flopped was due to Motown Records getting bought out by Polygram at the time, miscommunication between their managers and not having Dallas Austin (who produced their debut album) on the album, saying that “the songs simply wasn’t strong as the first album”.
After that, Another Bad Creation disbanded and went their separate ways. In 2006 (thirteen years after the release of their previous album), they independently released an EP called “Grady Baby Compliation” which didn’t appear to attract any attention.

In September of 2019, the group reunited to perform at the ATL Funk Fest. These days (according to research), they are focused on reconnecting with their fans, doing more shows and tours, working on a few documentaries for their fans and are planning on releasing a new EP as well.
