classic hypnotic mind blowing, "Sexy Mama", Harry Ray's echo seductive slick lead trying to lead his lady into loveland, would hit No 3 on the R&B charts during the spring /summer of 1974.
Also doing this period, the Moments (really Harry Ray) would team up with Sylvia Robinson to record, " Sho Nuff Boogie" with a touch of sophisticated arrangements during the early part of the R&B disco era.
More teaming up would take place in the later part of 1974, with the Moments and the Whatnauts on their hit "Girls". The song was a hit the minute the DJ's dropped the needle on the wax. Legend has it that the Whatnauts don't appear vocally on the song, that it's just the Moments singing. Regardless, it's still a smoker, chalked up by the group or groups.
The smooth, "What's Your Name" is one of my many favorites sung by the Moments also released in 1974.
Fast forward to 1975 where in the spring of 75, the group would release the gorgeous, "Look At Me (I'm In Love)". Harry Ray's soft quiet melodic lead with the group's great harmony background, and with it's 12 strings and brass and French horn arrangements, makes you want to fall in love, even if you're not in love !
The arrangements of the song was done by the late great Sammy Lowe ( who did the string arrangements on James Brown's classic hit of 1966, " It's A Man's Man's Man's World" and many other hits).
"Look At Me" hit No 1 on the R&B charts for one week. Al Goodman composed the tune on his kitchen table in his home in Hackensack, NJ.
The following year of 1976, two more hits would occur. "Nine Times" and another blue light basement smoker, "With You", along with a few disco cuts the group would release on the label.
After 30 single releases and 11 LP classics such as, "Not On The Outside", "Live At New York State Women's Prison", >"The Other Side Of The Moments ", "Those Sexy Moments ", "My Thing", "Moments With You", " On Top", "Sharp", " Look At Me", " Live At The Miss Black America Contest", and, " The Moments Greatest Hits", the group would leave the " All Platinum" label in 1979.
With legal matters and hassles pertaining their name which was owned by Sylvia & Joe Robinson, the group renamed themselves after their last names, Ray, Goodman & Brown. They signed with Polydor Records and recorded their first No 1 hit in 5 years!!
"Special Lady" released in the spring of 1980, presented us music lovers with a masterful musical time capsule piece from the great doo-wop era of the 1950's into the early 1980's.
Their next release, "Inside of You" taken from their gold LP "Ray Goodman & Brown" is another blue light 80's smoker !!
Another LP entitled, "Stay" would feature another classic, "Heaven In The Rain" with a great story line opening when a young woman's car becomes sick in the pouring rain, so it's Billy Brown to the rescue, it's love at first sight for the both of them and stay together a year after the incident. Absolute true classic !!
More hits would arrive with " Take It To The Limit" from the LP of the same title, " Ray Goodman & Brown 2", " Mood For Lovin", would also be released during their mid chart run of the 80's.
Their last classic " Our Anniversary" would be released and Harry Ray left by this time to go solo. He was replaced by Kevin Owens who backed up Luther Vandross and is featured on a live LP with Goodman & Brown released in 1991. Sadly, Harry Ray would enter the gates of soul heaven on Oct 1,1992.
The Moments / Ray Goodman & Brown gave us soul fans some of the greatest music ever presented on wax / CD. They are wonderful examples of why we as fans of this music, must fight to keep it alive in everyway possible.
The sweet soul sounds came from the heart and soul of these talented brothers.
So if your in the mood for true love, slip on the Moments / Ray, Goodman & Brown, and I'll guarantee, you'll be in a moment of pleasure.......moment of thoughts............ Moments of love............ and Moments of continuing melodic beautiful eargasms for your ears of listening pleasure...........!!!
With the Moments ...............Listening is easier than breathing...........!!!
