 Rock-N-Roll Greetings and Salutations to all the true Rockers around the world, from the Rock Band DEATH (Detroit Michigan).
On behalf of My brothers Dannis and David, we thank you all for tuning in to this music, It is true that David predicted this would happen. The title from the album is the same title that David came up with in 1975. If you like what you hear on this album, you're gonna love what is to come as DEATH, and David And Bobby has left an extensive catalog of songs and audio performances. Stay tuned for news about upcoming releses and a possible Tour!!
Our beginings in Detroit was I'd say just about like most families in the 1950's. After our Dad did a brief stint in Korea in the U.S. Air Force, our parents migrated from Florida in 1950 with their newborn son Earl (our oldest brother), at the height of the industrial boom and secured gainful employment in the Detroit automotive industry. They listened to the artists of that time on the radio like, Muddy Watters, Howlin Wolf, Little Walter, Bo Diddly, Willie Dixon, and of course Ray Charles. My Mother gave birth to their second child, David in 1952. Our parents saw musical interest and potential in David right away as he used to dance and pretend to play guitar like Chuck Berry when they would play their 45 records on the little mono record player our Dad had brought for their modest apartment/house located on Cutler Avenue on Detroit's East Side.
Our Dad Earl, was a young Baptist minister who also loved the music of the Blues, so according to the three elder brothers, mom and dad were always grooving to these 45's by artists like B.B.King, Etta James, Sam Cooke, and Chuck Berry. Our Dad Earl encouraged his children to enjoy music and life, and he would often say, "But always take God with you whatever you do because he'll be in everywhere you go and everything you do anyway, so you might as well enjoy his blessing and accept his offer of life, love ,and peace". This is where our Spiritual influence came from and it affected David most of all. On more than few Sundays, our mom and Dad used to go to Pastor C.L. Franklin's Church to see the show (as Earl Sr.would explain to Earl Jr.) and to hear the incredible voice of his daughter Aretha who always tore up the place with her voice when she lead the choir.
Our parents music was not limited to the Blues, our mother Majora's record collection at the time also included 45's by Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Frank Sinatra. and Sammy Davis Jr. Our mother gave birth to Dannis in 1953 and the three brothers bonded tightly. Three years later although the couple was hopeful for a little girl, in 1956 Majora gave birth to Bobby. Dad favored Bobby as the "youngest son" Earl Sr. also said that he thought Bobby would be famous one day because Bobby was born the same year that Elvis released Blue Sude Shoes and that was the year that Rock-N-Roll exploded.
Stay tuned for Part 2
