What showmanship, what an experience to see this group and their lead singer, Tony, entertain. It was worth every dime and some.

Cheers, DAVEDJ ~.

It is still a beautiful song.

I didn’t attend because l just didn’t understand. So I missed out on what they said was” Pretty Tony” at his best. “One Woman Man” was one of most gut rendering vocal accomplishments I’ve ever heard.Sorry I didn’t cherish and patronize his talents while he was here. Rest In Peace Pretty Tony!!

They were fun to be around and genuinely nice guys. George Peterbark aka Peterbark used to tell me about being on the road. This was long before they got a record deal with Motown. They were mostly doing shows at clubs up and down the east coast. My family owned a corner deli down the street from the house where they all lived and they came in frequently whenever they were at home. I’ve been in NYC for the last 32 years but I will never forget those days, my experiences living in DC and of course, the Dynamic Superiors.
