00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: how to drive backstreets in l A, You're not gonna

Speaker 1: in the world. You know I'm talking about girl. You

117
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: talking to I'm like four hours from how I mean,

118
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, four miles from Hollywood. It takes me thirty

119
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: plus minutes to get there on the street. Absolutely, it's

120
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: it's amazing how that that journey. But but her. Hollywood

121
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: is a different beach, it's a different animal. But the

122
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: thing about it is it's a you know, entertainment capital

123
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: as truly is the enter cain if you if you're

124
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: trying to make your career, make it, whether it's music, acting,

125
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: or or writing or producing the director. Hollywood is still

126
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: the place now. You hear places like Atlanta where I'm based. Truly,

127
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: you know you can, you can make some in roads.

128
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: But a lot of productions are being out here. They

129
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: are started in Los Angeles and then they're taken to Canada,

130
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: they're taken to New York, they're taking to South Carolina,

131
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: to Georgia, to New Orleans. So, oh, we don't get

132
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: it twisted. L A and California is truly to steal base.

133
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: That's why when COVID hit, it was like the center

134
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: point of of everybody's shutting down and everybody's trying to

135
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: figure out how to get it going again. How did

136
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: COVID affect you, Cheryl, because I know it overtly affected

137
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: all African Americans, And how did it affect you in

138
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: your family? Well? Actually, uh, we were scheduled to do

139
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: a concert uh in like mid March, uh and they

140
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: shut the whole state down like a week before the concert,

141
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: So all of our shows wiped off the calendar, um

142
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: and we were we actually have only performed once this year,

143
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: which was in September in Las Vegas. It was a

144
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: pay per view, but everything else on our calendar got erased.

145
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: It was gone, you know, every all the plans that

146
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: we had our shows are you know, I mean we

147
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: have a very um uh timed sequence show and the

148
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: promoter tails us how many minutes and we create the

149
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: show for that particular time slot. So all of those

150
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: plans for all the shows, all the set lists and

151
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: everything just got put on whole white clean uh. And

152
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: of course, you know, our our financial subsistence from performing,

153
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: of course, was was paused. So uh but impossible. You know. California,

154
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: of course, as we know, is a very liberal state,

155
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: and because there are so many creative uh occupations here,

156
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, acting, music, all of that, there is a

157
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: level of uh support that we're we were able to

158
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: tap into financially to help those industries that may not

159
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: have the uh what is it the w W four forms.

160
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: You know, absolutely we're basically a ten ninety nine income

161
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: and so we were able to sustain ourselves with different policies.

162
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: Uh and UH programs really assisted you guys a lot

163
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: to Kresak when they came through. The politicians have complaints

164
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: about California, but I have to say, California really believes

165
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: in its entertainment, uh, the industry, and they try to

166
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: do as much as they can to support that. I mean,

167
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: it's this the heartbeat, the lifeline of California. Uh. And really,

168
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people that's all they do

169
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: or are ten ninety nine jobs if you know what

170
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: at ten ninety nine forman you know, at the end

171
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: of the year, you gotta practice. Come on, that's the

172
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: worst boy. If you forget that, they ever remind you

173
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: in the government. Okay, let's let's talk. Let's talk about

229
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: You're coming on the show talking about Vorhees. You know,

230
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,520

231
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: we're trying to do. This is the pre hype show.

232
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: Is is November twenty nine. The actual stream of thron

233
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be Tuesday this summer first, and we're trying

234
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: to get people out there. We're having a lot of fun.

235
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean enjoying my conversation. Hopefully she's enjoying the conversation

236
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,720

00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,040

00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,680

241
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: and you came out and you went home. Sometimes that

242
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,080

282
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: the group all those years, how did you guys get

283
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: together as a group called comments all female band, which

284
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: is unprecedented? Tell us about that? Well, you know, I

285
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: have to say, you know, say, the universe, whatever your

286
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: belief system is, really threw us together because we didn't

287
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: know each other before we got in that rehearsal room.

288
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: We had never crossed paths, We didn't grow up together.

289
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: Everybody has their own story of how they even learned

290
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: about the group. Rehearsing in Hollywood at the time. I mean,

291
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: we put an ad in the paper for one girl,

292
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: the lead vocalist. She had originally audition for Rolls Royce

293
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: and they sent her over to us because she didn't

294
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: have a you know, she sang too strong for their music,

295
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: so they sent her over to us. I happen to

296
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: be rehearsing with another band in the same building. They

297
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: just busted into the rehearsal room and saying, you don't

298
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: want to play with this band, you want to play

299
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: with our band. We have an am female bank climate.

300
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: Everybody had their story. It's really as if they just

301
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: threw us together. And once we started rehearsing and and

302
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, learning songs off the radio and really developing

303
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: the song, was like, hey, we kind of got something here.

304
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: At the time, I happen to be working at a bank.

305
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: I won't say the name anyway, working at a bank. Yeah,

306
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: I was telling my supervisor about this all girl band

307
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: I was in, you know, I said, I'm in this

308
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: all girl bad and it sounds pretty good. And she said, well,

309
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: if you give me a demo tape, I'll give it

310
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: to my uncle. He's a producer for Pebo Bryson. His

311
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: name is Johnny pay So, you know, we were all excited.

312
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: We went to the studio. At that time, it was

313
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: eight track studio, and not eight tracks like you stick in,

314
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: but eight separate tracks like now they have, you know

315
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: what hundreds any two tracks right right right, I know,

316
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: And we put together like four original songs. And we

317
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: had a meeting with with Johnny Payte and gave him

318
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: the tape and he didn't like it. How but here's

319
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: the lesson with that when one door closes, that does

320
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: not mean another door won't open. So he happened to

321
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: be having lunch with a lady by the name of

322
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: Margaret Nash, who was one of the vice presidents and

323
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 1: sold our records, and he gave her the tape. He said, ah,

324
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, this is this all girl band. I don't

325
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: think they sound that good, but maybe you can do

326
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: something to it. He listened to the tape and she

327
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: lost her mind. She immediately called me and said, when

328
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: is your next rehearsal? She looked at the group, she

329
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: was all smiles. The next time she came, she brought

330
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: the president of the company, Dick Griffy, and he signed

331
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: us to sol Our Records within months. We hadn't even

332
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: been together for a whole year before we had signed

333
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: a recording contract. When I tell you, the universe faith

334
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: threw us together. It was like boom boom phone, this

335
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: is meant to be. Now, how did the hit song

336
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: come up? But did you guys write it that? The

337
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: songs were written and produced by other people? How did

338
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: they come about? Right? Okay, So our first album was

339
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: called Never Underestimate the Power Woman, which was the title track,

340
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: and that was a song that I had wrote the

341
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 1: music to, uh and the drummer wrote the lyrics too,

342
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: And that was actually the song that we gave them

343
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: for our demo tape because we wanted to, you know,

344
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: write a song that you know, was like women empowerment,

345
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, affirmative women, encouraging women. Never Underestimate the Power

346
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: for Woman. And once they heard that song, song off

347
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: female band. They could see the vision and that's what

348
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,719
Speaker 1: really got them over was to sign Climax up. I mean,

349
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: we had a good nineteen year run with Solo Records.

350
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 1: It was crazy, No, it was. It was a fantastic Now,

351
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: but hold of the sign that you know you had

352
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: to you had that little the bumper sticker. There we go.

353
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Now when everybody knew I'm talking to sure Cooler. You

354
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,400

Speaker 1: thing of body that memories mean something and uh and

358
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: we're trying to create new memories or with any potential

359
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: new students. A current student vorhees, like I said, this

360
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: is your stream of thon. Our goal is to raise

361
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: a million dollars of HBCU school We all know how

362
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: COVID has hit. We've seen HBCU schools counsel entire athletic programs.

363
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: We've seen you know, just yesterday I heard that Florida

364
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: ineverably counseled their basket female basketball program for the due

365
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: to COVID. We know there's a vaccine on the way.

366
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: But we all know how that works, that minorities are

367
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: always the last people to receive vaccine. That's just the

368
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: way it is. Uh. I wish I could change the system.

369
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: If your minority got money, then you'll be ahead of

370
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: the minority that don't have money, but you will be

371
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: behind the people who really got money. But with that

372
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: being said, we just want some money. We want this

373
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: what this is about. I've invited Sheryl onto the show.
