Colonel Abrams

[efunk_adelic]

I just made a new CD with Colonel Abrams "Trapped" on it.
He reminds me a lot of the singing style of Teddy Pendergrass. Any Colonel fans out there? By the way I lovvvvvvve mid 80's house music. 8) 8)

Favorite tracks:

Trapped
I'm Not Gonna Let
How Soon We Forget

[K-Bee]

I have the two albums he made for MCA in the mid 80s as well as the little known "About Romance" he released on Scotti Bros. in '92.
The Colonel is still around these days showing up on various house tracks from time to time.

My favorite tracks: "How Soon We Forget" and "Over And Over"

Love'd this guy when I first heard him. It was refreshing at the time to hear a man singing like one and being one 8)
I have the album with "Trapped" on it.

I remember when "I'm Not Gonna Let" came out. People were nuts for this. Is my memory correct that he came on the scene after Teddy's car accident? I seem to remember people thinking he would "fill the void", so to speak.

Am I crazy for thinking that Colonel Abrams covered the old Inner Life "I'm Caught Up (In One Night Love Affairs)" as a house track in the mid-1990's???

I'm not at home, but it was on some compilation (an import I think).

Also, there was ANOTHER song on that same compilation that had a lead vocal that I could swear was Teddy Pendergrass. He wasn't credited...BUT it sure sounded like him.

I'll have to check for that title. I remember writing "sounds like Teddy" in my notes....(Yes, sometimes I take notes...when I hear something I like.)

Do I need a good enema???? :P :lol: :P :lol: :P :lol:

There's a great bootleg of "Trapped" doing the rounds at the moment. Not sure who it's by but I suspect it's the Hoxton Whores.

Has anyone heard the Colonels version of "Mr Postman"? It was on the legandry INGB label (standing for I'm not gay Boris). His version has a very fast bassline with loud stragulated dog noises and horny male groaning. I like it a lot and it reminds me of tight shorts by Rubber Solider on IGB.
