New Birth Into Tomorrow CD

The concept for the soul-funk band New Birth evolved in 1963. Originally, all of the members were participants in three separate acts. Touring throughout the country, the three acts frequently joined together for an arousing finale. So well received was the performance, soon New Birth was born. Eventually, gravitating to Detroit in search of stardom, the group landed their first of several recording contracts and began an impressive collection of hit smashes like "I Can Understand It", "It's Impossible", "Dream Merchant" and "Wild Flower" from hit albums like "Comin' from All Ends" and "Blind Baby". All the while they continued to develop their elaborately staged shows which led them to the first of a long line of R&B space fantasy productions. Recorded in the early 1980's, the personnel lineup for "Into Tomorrow" includes, Tony Churchill (tenor sax, background vocals and keyboards), Austin Lander (baritone sax, flute, keyboards, bass and horns), James Baker (keyboards, trombone, drums and string arrangements), Robert Jackson (trumpet, keyboards, drums, vocal arrangements, choreography), Allen Frey (vocal arrangements, composing, percussion), Charles Hearndon (lead guitar, composer, arranger, keyboards), Robert Downs (vocals and writer) and Londie Wiggins (vocals). Finally available in the digital domain, all selections have been newly remastered.
