*“I love ‘Special Lady’ and types like that,” said Billy Brown of the legendary Ray, Goodman and Brown who are headlining the Soul Train Cruise (January 20 – 27, 2019) to the Caribbean with Gladys Knight, The Chi-Lites, Morris Day and the Time, New Birth, Ohio Players, George Clinton and Evelyn “Champagne” King, with a special performance by Smokey Robinson (January 23rd).
“But I really love ‘Love on a Two-Way Street’ it was recorded before…it didn’t do anything. I told Joe (Robinson) I like that record and he said, ‘You like that syrupy stuff’ and he took the 45 and flipped it across the room and said, ‘take it and learn it.’ I learned it that night and the next day I recorded it.”
“Love on a Two Way Street” became a break through single of Sylvia and Joe Robinson via their label Stang/All Platinum Records through the group The Moments. It reached #1 on Billboard’s R&B Charts. It was re-recorded by the label with Brown in the lead vocals as Ray, Goodman and Brown in 1969 for legal reasons. It sold over a million copies. That hit single and others from Ray, Goodman and Brown such as “Sexy Mamma” and “Look at Me (I’m in Love”) has the group constantly on tour to this day – 50 years later.
Brown continued, “So I took him the (“Love on a Two Way Street”) recording and he said, ‘This is the new single.’ The way they released it was crazy too…the next day the distributor called for 50,000 more copies. And as they say the rest is history.”
