There are two early versions of Menergy, one performed by Sylvester, and the other one, better known, on Fusion records, performed by a few unknown chicks. I would have to go look at my records, can someone help me out as to who were the chicks ?

Found this.....


As an independent producer, Patrick Cowley counted on exellent singers Lauren Carter , Jo-Carol Block and Carol McMackin.
Jo-Carol, born on May 13th , 1956 ,had moved to San Francisco a couple of years before and was 25 at the time she met Patrick.

Lauren , Carol and herself were singing in a 6 person jazz acapella group called 'Acapella Gold' with 3 guys. One of them was Michael Finden, who used to be in Sylvester's band playing B3 organ.

Michael Finden brought the 3 of the girls to Patrick's studio and the 4 of them sang on 'Menergy', then the 3 of the girls sang all of the songs after that on the 'Megatron Man' album. After Patrick's dead, Jo-Carol y Lauren would be known as 'Jo-Lo'. They really wanted to be like 'Hall and Oates' since they were both songwriters as well as keyboard players and vocalists.

And now Jo-Carol has died from an aneurysm. :cry:
