20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Ray, Goodman & Brown

Source: Artist Direct

In 1979, veteran soul vocal group the Moments discovered that, by departing Stang Records, they had lost the rights to their name, and they were forced to bill themselves as (Harry) Ray, (Al) Goodman & (Billy) Brown. Happily, Ray, Goodman & Brown made a triumphant debut on Polydor Records with "Special Lady," which hit number one on the R&B chart and the Top Five of the pop chart, while going gold. The Best of Ray, Goodman & Brown, an entry in Universal Music's mid-priced 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection series, samples from the group's four-album tenure on Polydor, 1979-1982. There are four more Top 40 R&B hits, "Inside of You," "My Prayer" (a revival of the Platters song), "Happy Anniversary," and "How Can Love So Right (Be So Wrong)." ("Shoestrings," a minor R&B chart entry, is not included.)

Ray, Goodman and Brown

The first Stang album release by "The Moments" pictured Brown, Goodman and Morgan on the cover, though various members' voices existed on the different tracks recorded between 1968 and 1969. Before the original members of The Moments left All Platinum, they recorded their big breakthrough song "Love On A Two Way Street", which reached one on the R&B chart and three on the pop chart in the spring of 1970.

Ray, Goodman and Brown - New York

Source: Prime Time Promotions

Clearing the air of all that funk; black-pop has finally returned to its roots-lyricism, full-bodied arrangements, and singing so finely meshed it evokes a deep response. Ray, Goodman, & Brown, together for 25 years has never left it. No amount of freakish good luck, no series of promotional blitzes, and no repertoire of management ploys: can by themselves keep performers on the top scene for that long (most get three to four years if they’re lucky). It takes exceptional talent and changing styles to suit the whims of music fashion. Over the years there have been no hard-rock, punky, funky or disco Ray, Goodman, & Brown.
