Ray, Goodman & Brown
Clearing all the air of all that funk; black pop has finally returned to it's roots-lyricism, full bodied arrangements, and singing so finely meshed it invokes a deep response. Ray, Goodman & Brown, together for 25 years have never left it...On any record of theirs, you can always expect sophisticated seduction, and for them to strike an emotional affinity with the listener that transends time. Ever since 1969's "Not On The Outside But Inside Strong", they have charted consistently with classics like, "Look at Me I'm In Love", "Love On a Two Way Street", "With You", "Happy Anniversary" & "Special Lady". One of BMI's most performed songs of 1980. They have the ability to hit a fella's soft spot, and make a woman feel comfortable. Billy Brown's flexible tenor can easily catch a female off guard, making her easy prey for the "Let's get It On" Lyric. Billy Brown was also a member of a group called the Broadways'.He sang lead on the"The Moments" hits as before mentioned. Such as; "Love a Two Way Street", "Sunday", "Lovely Way She Loves", "Lucky Me" "I Do", "Inside Of You", and "All I Have". Al Goodman was a former member of the Corvettes and the Vipers. After joining the moments Al Goodman went on to become one of the major writers and producers for the group and many other artists. "Loook at Me I'm In Love", "Sexxy Mama", "Inside of You", and "Happy Anniversary", are just a few of the songs that he produced and wrote. "Ray, Goodman and Brown" reistated Kevin Owens to replace Harry Ray upon his untimely death. Kevin was lead vocalist in 1982 for Ray, Goodman, and Brown when Ray embarked on a solo career.
