Dennis Edwards, the Detroit singer who replaced David Ruffin as lead singer of The Temptations in 1968, has passed away at the age of 74. Edwards died at his home in Chicago today, February 2, according to reports from his family and CBS Chicago.
Edwards began his career as lead singer of another Motown group, The Contours, before being called into replace Ruffin after the singer’s fallout with the group. Edwards’ voice defined the sound of The Temptations through their funkiest period, in which he sang lead on major hits like “I Can’t Get Next To You,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone,” “Cloud Nine,” and “Ball of Confusion (That’s What the World Is Today).” He remained at the head of the group through 1977 when the group left Motown Records.
Upon their return to the label in 1980, Edwards was reinstated in the group. He also released three solo albums, and his 1984 Motown debut Don’t Look Any Further and its title track charted in the Top 5 of the R&B charts.
Edwards continued to perform Temptations material as part of splinter group The Temptations Revue Featuring Dennis Edwards up until last year
Damian Marley says he is open to collaborating with Chronixx.
Jr. Gong and Chronixx are two of the biggest artists in roots reggae right now, but on Sunday night Gong won the 2018 Grammy for Best Reggae Album. The win sparked the usual debate about the Grammys bias towards the Marleys whenever one of them is nominated in the reggae category. While there may be some truth to the “perceived bias” towards the Marley brand in reggae, Jr. Gong’s album Stony Hill is a great album that deserves to win more than one Grammy.
Chronixx has since pushed back at his fans who are criticizing Damian Marley, telling them on Instagram that there would be no him without the reggae/dancehall veteran. Damian Marley is now saying he is opened to a collaboration with the Chronology singer. “It would be cool,” Gong said. “We’ve spoken about it before. I think it will happen, once the opportunity presents itself.”
Damian Marley has been getting applause from the reggae music industry since winning the Grammy on Sunday night in New York City. Pundits have all agreed that he deserves the win, but that doesn’t make Chronixx or the other artists in the category losers.
During an interview last month, Damian Marley says he is a big fan of Chronixx while hinting there could be a collaboration coming. “Chronixx put out a really nice album, which I listen to as a fan,” he said. “I like that album a whole heap.”
Aidonia is working on some new music with Shaggy and Sting.
The dancehall veteran hit the studio recently with Shaggy and Sting who are currently working on their new album in New York. The joint album, 44/876 is slated for an April 20 release date. Sources told Urban Islandz that Aidonia will be featured on one of the singles off the project. “Shaggy is a big fan of Donia and vice versa so it was only a matter of time before this collaboration happen.
Sting posted a photo of the trio in the studio yesterday, captioning the pic, “Aidonia paid us a visit in the studio.” The dancehall legend and the British rockstar performed their new single “Don’t Make Me Wait” at the Grammys last weekend. They even took part in a Grammy skit with host James Corden.
Shaggy has much to celebrate this week after handing over a $100 million to the Bustamante Hospital for Children. The funds was raised from his annual benefit concert Shaggy and Friends, held in Kingston last month. Both Sting and Aidonia performed at the sold-out event.
Innovate or die. This is a harsh, but common phrase in business. As their classic album, E. 99 Eternal, approaches its 23rd birthday, two members of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony prepare for survival as they are set to premiere a new documentary this month.
The Tim Newfang-directed film, Sons of St. Clair, is set to drop on Feb. 10 at the inaugural Mammoth Film Festival. It follows Krayzie Bone and Bizzy Bone as they craft a new sound for their upcoming album, New Waves.As many Bone Thugs-n-Harmony fans know, Krayzie and Bizzy have ushered in various styles and melodies that are still used today. This, however, is not enough for the duo, as they look to use their upcoming project to reinvent themselves. “I feel like we’ve been running in place, without evolving any and taking the brand to the next level,” Krayzie Bone explained in the movie’s trailer.
This emphasis on evolution and inclusion is normally not something artists with their lengthy tenure look to do within hip-hop. By embodying that sense of change, Sons of St. Clair creates a sense of intrigue for Krayzie and Bizzy’s new album. A project—if done correctly—could change the trajectory of their careers as well as the genre they’ve shown commitment to.
