Leader

Fonzi Thornton ‎– The Leader.. The 1983 debut The Leader from Fonzi Thornton, who sang background vocals for Luther Vandross and Chic, scored a hit with the R&B smash “Beverly”. Fonzi came with a very strong, hard driving voice that surely knew how to deliver a song, whether it being an up tempo disco favourite or a classic love ballad. The album features a virtual who’s who in the music business; Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards and Kashif, so you know you’re in for a real treat. Backing vocals were supplied plentifully by the likes of Norma Jean Wright, Jocelyn Brown, Phillip Ballou, Tawatha and Alfa Anderson (of Chic fame). The Leader oozes pure musical talent and excellent quality music provided by Fonzi and friends, “The Leader” has it all!!!
