Throwback to Barrett Strong Jr. and “Colorcrimes”
#TBT Here I am laughing as I always did with my friend and mentor The Great Barrett Strong Jr.
We recorded my song #Colorcrimes🎤 around 2001 in his recording studio #Southfield #Mi #StudiiB . Barrett loved the song so much he hired a #gospel #choir to sing on it wow it was 🔥
When the studio moved out someone actually stole the tapes and all I had was the cassettes . I had a dream 8 months ago and I saw Barrett Strong standing in his backyard with a box full of 2 inch recording tapes smiling . I had been reinventing Colorcrimes to do a new version and seeing him in my dream just solidified I was on the right
Path . I played it for the first time live in front of thousands of people at The #BradentonBluesFestival to a rousing standing ovation and tears I knew it would be my next release . #SHOF #Grammywinner #RandBHallofFame #Detroitlegend #soulmaster #lyricalgenius #rhythmmaker #excelkence #Mississippiborn #madeindeteoit #musicgenius #mentor #selftaught #pianoplayer #legend💙🎹🎶🎤
