For our first installment of the Music Speak broadcast, we were obliged to have a member of the illustrious R&B/hip hop singing bands, “Bowlegged Lou“ George, of Full Force.
Lou is one of the six-member group, including his two brothers, Paul Anthony & B-Fine, along with cousins Baby Gerry, Curt-T-T & J-R Shy Shy.
During promotion, many people were surprised to learn how wide their music production career has spanned, across genres and decades. In my observation, if Teddy Riley is the father of New Jack Swing, Full Force’s influence makes them the godfathers of the genre, given the ground-breaking fusion of R&B/hip hop sound they introduced to the world in 1984.
Lou, along with his brothers continues to give back to community through philanthropy and music, and are highly gracious for allowing us to celebrate their contribution to the culture and the soundtrack of our lives.
Be sure to tune in to the show Sundays, 5 PM Central at FBRN.US. Tell a friend to tell a friend.
