TRU Concept RobbieG - Far Away
LINK --->>> https://cinurl.com/2tD6v9
While many newlyweds spend their honeymoon backpacking through Europe or jetting off to a far away tropical location, very few kick off the rest of their lives by working in meagre conditions without pay.
The idea itself is not so radical, more and more couples (who already live together and have fully stocked homes) are asking their guests to make a monetary contribution towards a charity rather than buy gifts; so this only seems like a logical extension of the concept.
The honeymoon is also less of the romantic and sexual epiphany it once was (many couples have cohabited for many years prior to getting married) and some couples have already enjoyed numerous romantic getaways together.
After securing their new name and line-up, Kool & the Gang secured a recording deal with Redd's new independent label, De-Lite Records. Redd wrote: \"I discovered these eight supertalented incomparable young musicians [...] I immediately realized that their potential would earn them success unknown by most musicians\".[19] The group entered the studio and recorded their debut album, the all-instrumental Kool and the Gang (1970), with Redd as a producer, arranger, conductor, and partial songwriter. It is their only album with guitarist Woody Sparrow who completed a temporary eight-man formation.[20] The album peaked at No. 46 on the Billboard R&B chart. Around this time, the group began to develop their stage performance after they witnessed a set by Willie Feaster and the Mighty Magnificents which, according to Robert Bell, \"Blew us away [...] We thought, 'Wow, if we want to be in show business, we have to change our act. We can't just stand up there and play'.\"[11] Also at this time, the group were asked to deliver songs with vocals. Despite Bell recalling the group sounding \"real ragged\" with lyrics at first, \"Bit by bit we gained in confidence... we kinda learnt how to sing as we went along.\"[21]
In mid-1976, Kool & the Gang entered a period of commercial decline; Rolling Stone writer Geoff Himes wrote the disco-era \"frowned on their loose and greasy approach to dance music.\"[18] Their three albums released during this time, Open Sesame (1976), The Force (1977), and Everybody's Dancin' (1978), failed to generate the same commercial or critical acclaim as their previous records. Bell later said the albums \"bent our style a bit and we didn't feel at home with it\".[26] The Force and Everybody's Dancin' displayed the group's attempt to adopt disco elements with female vocalists and a string section, but Robert Bell later said the group got \"Too fancy and over-creative [...] We got away from the basic Kool & the Gang sound [...] and the public didn't like it\". The change in style affected their ability to secure as many dates than before, working \"just off and on\" during this time.[27][28] The latter album received negative responses; one review for Everybody's Dancin' had the headline: \"Kool and the Gang have gone bland.\" Writer Mike Duffy wrote: \"They've joined the disco lemmings [...] The edge has gone. Say so long to the raw and raunchy.\"[29] 781b155fdc
