    Black Ivory and The Delfonics were the groups no one could touch. They sang such beautiful love songs, the words were clear and their voices were so pure--nothing but solid Black Gold music to our ears. Groups don't come like this anymore or ever will again.

      From my experience as a stage musician I could definitely write for them. And have them re-do old hits that fit their personna. Imagine a show with all the love songs by groups of their own gendre????? Money, money & MO money.
