NORMAN CONNORS :: YOU ARE MY STARSHIP

Connors began to focus more on R&B material in the mid 1970s after signing with Buddah Records. He scored several US hits with songs featuring guest vocalists such as Michael Henderson, Jean Carn, and Phyllis Hyman. The most successful of these was "You Are My Starship, featuring Henderson in 1976.

The track "Bubbles" is one of my favorite on "You Are My Starship" LP. The tracks screams luxury Summer. Check out all the talented people who contributed and played on the LP!

UPDATES AND HAPPENINGS

First off I want to say I've been slacking on the blog. My appologies, but we had some killer weather over the last few days which I was trying to take advantage of. Second I wanna thank Sean Boogie for holding it down while I was logged off. Feels good to shut down and enjoy life outside of the Inter web. Any ways enough Ranting and back to business

THIS WEATHER SUCK'S

I really hate Summers in SF. Here in Nor Cal we get Indian Summers which typically starts late August all the way to December. I haven't seen the sun literally in 2 months minus my trip to San Jose last weekend. This Really is depressing.
