"The Tonics" Good Thing Going @ Songheim Celebration...

Weird! I was thinking the same thing last week!
I couldn't find anything on google...

Add Cortes Alexander. From his myspace page:

"One night, while singing at a club, he met fellow singers Gene Reed, Brian Lane Green, & Lindy Robbins. They clicked immediately & formed a pop/jazz vocal group, "The Tonics". They went to New York for what was meant to be a 6 week visit. It lasted 6 years. Their intricate harmonies & arrangements, combined with their sold-out shows, won them many awards, & led them to Carnegie Hall where they sang in a tribute to composer Stephen Sondheim which was broadcast on PBS."

I love that DVD. My favorite though is Glen Close and the Boys Choir of Harlem doing Children will Listen/Our Time. I also adore seeing Liza in her prime. Then I watch her from Leading Ladies and I just want to cry.

1. Shouldn't it be "Sondheim Celebration"?
2. So impressed by your Lina Lamont quote... at your young age. Obviously, you're a very aware and historically attuned guy! ("But Moses, he knowses his toeses aren't roses!")
3. Finally, are the "Tonics" you're talking about a singing group that goes back to the early or mid 1990s made up of 3 guys and 1 girl? My husband and I saw them on an RSVP cruise in Mid-February, 1996. We LOVED them!! I've just finished dubbing off to DVD our home-made video tape of that cruise which includes a couple of their song performances. When Googling "The Tonics" (which led me to you) I found that there's another group using that name. I watched one of their clips online and they're NOT the jazzy group we saw. I hope they're not the group you're referring to. The Tonics Michael and I saw would be perfect doing Sondheim.

So glad to see that, despite your young age, you're not "locked into" ONLY the current Broadway and music scenes! You've lifted this old has-been's spirits. Bless your heart!!

I know I always skip that song cause the Tonics' harmonies are like nails on a chalkboard to me...
