    It hurts that they don't get the respect or accolades they deserve.
    Talented musicians, writers, producers and Stokleys voice is up there with the greats.

    What’s really criminal is this current generation has no idea how great this is. Go through any of MCs albums and listen start to finish…you’ll never listen to music the same. It’s pure.

      Saw MC in 2016 in the Carolinas on a rare tour stop, they are the epitome of a complete band, the absolute best performance in entertainment, from lead vocalist Stokley, all MC bandmates are brilliant musicians, they all play at least two musical instruments- all are from St. Paul, Minnesota, except R. Kitchen, longtime bass guitarist who’s from Chicago, they are like real brothers, professionals too- they formed their band as teenagers in early 80s while attending a performing arts h.s. in St. Paul- Minneapolis based gurus team, record producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis discovered them ‘89 and signed to a record deal- I love their Christmas cd Healing Season (2015) and Stokley’s 2017 solo project “Introducing Stokley” he is such an organic artist 🌱⭐️

      @@julslatt6294 Very Very well stated!! I really want to hear the rest of the band do an album without him. I mean letting other lead singers write and perform with them! I Love Stokley he is my favorite but these guys NEED to start doing albums with other guest lead singers....It is only fair. I REALLY miss their writing and playing. They are incredible writers as well plus they sing backgrounds incredibly why not they also sing or try singing lead vocals too?
