Description: Further DetailsTitle: Live At Rockpalast 1978 & 2003Condition: NewFormat: CDDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS In 1977 Mother's Finest released their now much-sought after album Mother's Finest that included the song Niggizz Can't Sing Rock And Roll. This title shocked and scandalized the church community.The song, however, exactly expressed what the group felt: The band founders wanted to create a mixture of black funk and white rock 'n' roll, so as to win over black and white audiences.Peter Rüchel (German music journalist and founder of the Rockpalast series): Sitting in Christian Wagner's car (Christian Wagner was Rockpalast's director from the very start) we heard their song Fire (1976) on the radio for the first time and we decided that this band has to perform at Rockpalast.Not really the best conditions for the success of a band made up of black and white musicians.When Mother's Finest opened the second Rockpalast Night on March 4, 1978 at the Grugahalle in Essen, they were completely unknown in Europe.That evening, however, they achieved cult status - a status they have kept until today.Mother's Finest overwhelmed the unsuspecting audience with songs typical for their style: Give You All The Love (1977), Baby Love (1977) and Mickey's Monkey (1978), the last a cover of the Holland/Dozier/Holland song which Smokey Robinson & The Miracles made popular in 1969.It is played at every concert of Mother's Finest and shows the band's deep roots in that kind of black music, which was mainly released by Tamala-Motown at that time.Years full of changes followed. In 1984 the band split up.Joyce Kennedy went on to a successful solo career. 25 years after their legendary conquest of Europe, Mother's Finest once again performed at Rockpalast - and almost with the same line up.On July 20, 2003 they played a concert at Satzvey Castle which included classics as well as exiting new numbers. Both of these concerts are presented here in full!Genre: RockArtist: Mother's FinestNo Of Discs: 3Record Label: Made In Germany MusicLanguage: EnglishEAN: 0885513904836Country/Region of Manufacture: Deutschland Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
