Gerod Harris Hanging On To A M
With the release of my last album, in December 2007, "Disco 2008", I have spent thirty two years honing my craft to the point when I am able to produce a record like this. I have gone back to my Disco and High Energy roots and done what I love best, and what I know how to do best, and with the best artists imaginable. This to me is the real McCoy, and I am so proud and excited with it. On December 3rd 2007, exactly three months after my last album release, we finally released my utterly fabulous exciting new album called "Disco 2008", which was released on Centre City Records, distributed by Goldsoul Music and Vital Distribution. The new album consists of twenty four brand new 2007 songs by soul and disco legends, including Sheila Ferguson, Hazell Dean, Steve Brookstein, Tina Charles, The Flirtations, Voices With Soul, Ebony Alleyne, Noel McKoy, and lots of others. Each song has an accompanying video of the artist basically performing it the studio and in various locations. Because a lot of my fans on MySpace and YouTube have been begging me to do this, I decided to get up and make it happen, so there is a giveaway DVD with the CD showing the same twenty four songs, all being performed in the same running order as the CD, followed by three more bonus tracks which simply wouldn't fit on the main CD itself. The work that we have all put into this project is quite staggering, and I hope it will break down the barriers between the Disco stalwarts and a new generation who haven't yet been exposed to decent dance music if all they've heard is the bilge poured out over the last twenty years. Play the CD, watch the DVD, and give new Disco a chance this time. This isn't Disco's return, it's quite simply Disco's REVENGE !!!!!!!!! I first met Gerod Harris through Sheila Ferguson of The Three Degrees, back in 1999. We had filmed the lead singer of The Montclairs, Phil Perry, for "The Strange World Of Northern Soul", and needed two other guys to add to the video, and Sheila said she had an American friend who knew all the old soul group moves. Next I asked him to put three black male singers and dancers together to back up Steve Brookstein for The Four Vandals, and indeed you can see Gerod in all the Four Vandals videos here. But this sweet fingersnapping solo song has become THE track that the Northern Soul scene have adored from the new album. Gerod has starred in three major films, as he is also an actor as well as a singer, "Until Death", "Proof`", and with Will and Grace's debra Messing, in "The Wedding Date". Gerod is just the perfect voice to feature on my utterly fabulous exciting new album, with this storming track, "Hanging On To A Memory".
