Description
Formed in Richmond Virginia, 1971 under the name The Brother Love. The original members of the group derived from four historical bands of the Richmond area. The band soon became the new buzz of the city, sparking the interest of Nick Colleran and Eric Johnson, owners/producers of Alpha Audio Recording Studios in Richmond Virginia. In 1973, Epic Records signed the group meanwhile renamed to Ujima and released the first single, "I’M GETTIN HIP" (To Your Ways & Actions) written by keyboardist, Dwight Smith, putting them on the Billboard and Cash Box R & B charts. Soon followed in January 1974 with "She’s Gone", written by Daryl Hall and John Oates, and the B-side, "Somebody Tell That Girl That I'm Gone". Later that same year, Ujima added vocalist, Debra Henry, who made way for more recording options, as well as the demanding sound of female vocals of the mid 70’s Midnight Dancer is a stunning soul album from The Sound Of Philadelphia produced by Charles Simmons and Joseph B. Jefferson - and one that often gets overlooked! Today, most all of the recordings from Ujima, Anglo Saxon-Brown, and Silk, can be found as rare northern soul collector’s items.
