Renee Diggs-Phillips, former lead singer of the group Starpoint, died at age of 50. She died on 18th march due to complications with her disease Multiple Sclerosis.
Renee met Ernesto Phillips (who died Thursday, April 1, 2004) and his brothers in the early stages of their musical careers. Starpoint were signed to the Polygram imprint, Casablanca / Chocolate City Records in 1980. On that label they recorded four albums.
During the 'Restless' tour, in 1985, Renee was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. After this diagnoses Renee recorded three more outings with Starpoint under bad health conditions. After five years, in 1990, Renee decided to go solo. The U.K. based record company Expansion acquired the rights to the subsequent 1994 recording and released 'Oasis' in late 2000. Renee formed the Renee Diggs Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis.
Thanx Renee for your outstanding vocal contributions. It always gives me the creeps.
RIP

Former Slave frontman Steve Arrington is working on a new Album. He teamed up with Stones Throw Records and Dam-Funk, and for this new FUNK album coming out in 2011. Below is an advance mp3 of "I Be Trippin," a track that will be on his (yet unnamed) album. This track was just released in September, on a sampler by Stones Throw entitled "Clouds Over The Pacific,". "I Be Trippin" will soon be released as a 12" on a vinyl. This sound is promising. Here's the first taste. |
| Doug Lovelace of Laced Media directed the following music video. This song is 'Let's Ride' the first single on the upcoming CD by Wayman Tisdale. It’s The Fonk Record featuring 11 original songs, Tisdale’s own funky vocals and a crew of down-and-dirty musicians, The Fonk Record also boasts three guest stars with extensive funk résumés—George Clinton, George Duke and Ali Ollie Woodson. To those who knew him best, it seemed only natural that Tisdale would craft a funk project. “He always wanted to make funk music,” says Derek (DOA) Allen, who produced The Fonk Record and was one of Tisdale’s closest friends. “People are going to see a whole ‘nother side of Wayman on this record—he was on a mission to play as hard and funky as he could.” |
