• 6:07
  Speaker 1: five and was backed up and on a Sunday on
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the Sunday, on a Sunday. So if you don't understand
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: how to drive backstreets in l A, You're not gonna
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: get around. You're gonna be the most frustrated human being
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: in the world. You know I'm talking about girl. You
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: know I'm not. You don't telling the truth. You don't
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: talking to I'm like four hours from how I mean,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, four miles from Hollywood. It takes me thirty
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: plus minutes to get there on the street. Absolutely, it's
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it's amazing how that that journey. But but her. Hollywood
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: is a different beach, it's a different animal. But the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: thing about it is it's a you know, entertainment capital
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: as truly is the enter cain if you if you're
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: trying to make your career, make it, whether it's music, acting,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: or or writing or producing the director. Hollywood is still
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the place now. You hear places like Atlanta where I'm based. Truly,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you know you can, you can make some in roads.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: But a lot of productions are being out here. They
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: are started in Los Angeles and then they're taken to Canada,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: they're taken to New York, they're taking to South Carolina,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to Georgia, to New Orleans. So, oh, we don't get
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: it twisted. L A and California is truly to steal base.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: That's why when COVID hit, it was like the center
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: point of of everybody's shutting down and everybody's trying to
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: figure out how to get it going again. How did
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: COVID affect you, Cheryl, because I know it overtly affected
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: all African Americans, And how did it affect you in
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: your family? Well? Actually, uh, we were scheduled to do
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a concert uh in like mid March, uh and they
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: shut the whole state down like a week before the concert,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: So all of our shows wiped off the calendar, um
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and we were we actually have only performed once this year,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: which was in September in Las Vegas. It was a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: pay per view, but everything else on our calendar got erased.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: It was gone, you know, every all the plans that
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: we had our shows are you know, I mean we
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: have a very um uh timed sequence show and the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: promoter tails us how many minutes and we create the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: show for that particular time slot. So all of those
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: plans for all the shows, all the set lists and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: everything just got put on whole white clean uh. And
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: of course, you know, our our financial subsistence from performing,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: of course, was was paused. So uh but impossible. You know. California,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of course, as we know, is a very liberal state,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and because there are so many creative uh occupations here,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you know, acting, music, all of that, there is a
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: level of uh support that we're we were able to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: tap into financially to help those industries that may not
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: have the uh what is it the w W four forms.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: You know, absolutely we're basically a ten ninety nine income
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and so we were able to sustain ourselves with different policies.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Uh and UH programs really assisted you guys a lot
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to Kresak when they came through. The politicians have complaints
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: about California, but I have to say, California really believes
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: in its entertainment, uh, the industry, and they try to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: do as much as they can to support that. I mean,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: it's this the heartbeat, the lifeline of California. Uh. And really,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you know a lot of people that's all they do
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: or are ten ninety nine jobs if you know what
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: at ten ninety nine forman you know, at the end
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of the year, you gotta practice. Come on, that's the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: worst boy. If you forget that, they ever remind you
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: in the government. Okay, let's let's talk. Let's talk about
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: you those shows, you know, the you know, they were
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: just white, clean, just gone. But you know, I mean
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: we still support each other. We still you know, get
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: together on zoom or call each other on the phone
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: or texting, you know, uh, to just keep in touch.

  Speaker 1: is unprecedented? Tell us about that? Well, you know, I
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: have to say, you know, say, the universe, whatever your
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: belief system is, really threw us together because we didn't
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: know each other before we got in that rehearsal room.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: We had never crossed paths, We didn't grow up together.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Everybody has their own story of how they even learned
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: about the group. Rehearsing in Hollywood at the time. I mean,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: we put an ad in the paper for one girl,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the lead vocalist. She had originally audition for Rolls Royce
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and they sent her over to us because she didn't
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: have a you know, she sang too strong for their music,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: so they sent her over to us. I happen to
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: be rehearsing with another band in the same building. They
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: just busted into the rehearsal room and saying, you don't
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: want to play with this band, you want to play
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: with our band. We have an am female bank climate.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Everybody had their story. It's really as if they just
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: threw us together. And once we started rehearsing and and
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: you know, learning songs off the radio and really developing
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the song, was like, hey, we kind of got something here.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: At the time, I happen to be working at a bank.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I won't say the name anyway, working at a bank. Yeah,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I was telling my supervisor about this all girl band
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I was in, you know, I said, I'm in this
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: all girl bad and it sounds pretty good. And she said, well,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: if you give me a demo tape, I'll give it
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: to my uncle. He's a producer for Pebo Bryson. His
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: name is Johnny pay So, you know, we were all excited.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: We went to the studio. At that time, it was
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: eight track studio, and not eight tracks like you stick in,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: but eight separate tracks like now they have, you know
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: what hundreds any two tracks right right right, I know,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: And we put together like four original songs. And we
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: had a meeting with with Johnny Payte and gave him
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the tape and he didn't like it. How but here's
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the lesson with that when one door closes, that does
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: not mean another door won't open. So he happened to
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: be having lunch with a lady by the name of
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Margaret Nash, who was one of the vice presidents and
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: sold our records, and he gave her the tape. He said, ah,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: you know, this is this all girl band. I don't
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: think they sound that good, but maybe you can do
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: something to it. He listened to the tape and she
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: lost her mind. She immediately called me and said, when
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: is your next rehearsal? She looked at the group, she
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: was all smiles. The next time she came, she brought
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the president of the company, Dick Griffy, and he signed
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: us to sol Our Records within months. We hadn't even
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: been together for a whole year before we had signed
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a recording contract. When I tell you, the universe faith
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: threw us together. It was like boom boom phone, this
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: is meant to be. Now, how did the hit song
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: come up? But did you guys write it that? The
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: songs were written and produced by other people? How did
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: they come about? Right? Okay, So our first album was
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: called Never Underestimate the Power Woman, which was the title track,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: and that was a song that I had wrote the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: music to, uh and the drummer wrote the lyrics too,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: And that was actually the song that we gave them
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: for our demo tape because we wanted to, you know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: write a song that you know, was like women empowerment,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you know, affirmative women, encouraging women. Never Underestimate the Power
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: for Woman. And once they heard that song, song off
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: female band. They could see the vision and that's what
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: really got them over was to sign Climax up. I mean,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: we had a good nineteen year run with Solo Records.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: It was crazy, No, it was. It was a fantastic Now,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: but hold of the sign that you know you had
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: to you had that little the bumper sticker. There we go.
