Black Ice

Description

During the 1970s, veteran disco and R&B deejay and producer Hadley D. Murrell put together a roster of talented songwriters and performers under his HDM Records imprint out of Los Angeles. One of the label s most prominent artists was the disco/funk outfit, Black Ice, featuring a five-man roster with a range of vocal talents. Produced mostly by Murrell himself, Black Ice released their debut album, Black Ice in 1977, with the lead single "Shakedown (Parts 1 & 2)" achieving moderate success on the R&B charts. With songs like "I Feel The Weight (Over Losing You)" and "I Want You Back," the members of Black Ice display a harmonious disco and R&B aesthetic that marked an era in black music and American music at large. While the group would never reach large-scale commercial success, Black Ice is most certainly an exemplary moment in late 1970s soul production that fans will enjoy for decades to come. Review: Black Ice-"Black Ice" - This CD is for those of us who still want to listen to music that describes the heart and what it feels. Black Ice allows us to remenise about what music was like back in the day. The up temple tunes and the words that mean something. Black Ice had awesome harmony.I know they recorded more music. One song in particular is "I just wanna hold you" is a beautiful song. When will that one be available???? Would love to purchase more songs by Black Ice and would love to here more about them. Review: Just Nice Music - Nice vocals, nice production, nice arrangement, nice songs, and nice sound.
