The website is in development, not ready for primetime, but you all are welcome to check it out. The cover art is in draft form, so would love feedback (won't be offended by criticism, but I'll let you know now because of all divas involved, the cover will definitely have to be artwork). There can and will be pix inside ....
Clips [visual and soundwise will be added]. My videographer is putting together highlights of studio sessions to date .... and also snaps from same.

In 1984, when Dreamgirls hit Los Angeles, I had a major 12" dance single hit with "One Night Only" on my label, Altair Records [distributed by Megatone Records]. Scherrie Payne, final lead singer of the Supremes [74-77], was the vocalist, and the Stars on Background were Cindy Birdsong [Supremes], Pat Hodges [Hodges, James & Smith], and Edna Wright [HoneyCone]. I have remixed the original master for today's dance market as well as remastered the original version, which will be released New Years Eve of this year promotionally and will be the centerpiece of the CD album DREAMGIRLS DANCE PROJECT. "One Night Only" sounded so good remastered that I was inspired to find more real DreamGirls and record my favorite songs from the show, all in dance format. The results so far are beyond my expectations and I think will be a fun listening [and dancing] experience for many DREAMGIRLS fans!
