- 4:49Speaker 1: Where are you heading in the COVID world in California here?
- 4:53Speaker 1: Ms ms Coolie. Well, I'm actually kind of on a
- 4:57Speaker 1: south south side. No, no, I'm sorry, the west side,
- 5:00Speaker 1: as you hear in the songs of near Hollywood Beverly Hills,
- 5:05Speaker 1: and I'm gonna slow you downstair. I was a little
- 5:07Speaker 1: fifteen years in Los Angeles, so you can really get
- 5:10Speaker 1: detailed with me. I lived in when I first came
- 5:13Speaker 1: to California. I live Bronson, right up there in Hollywood
- 5:17Speaker 1: between the sunset in Hollywood, but right next to the
- 5:19Speaker 1: one on one. And then I got got a little
- 5:21Speaker 1: money and I moved over to Librea, Lobrea, right over there, Librea,
- 5:25Speaker 1: the town home. You know they're boy the tor pits.
- 5:28Speaker 1: And then I got then I really got some money,
- 5:31Speaker 1: and I moved at the Palazzo right across the street
- 5:34Speaker 1: from the North strooms over there by. Look, I'm right
- 5:40Speaker 1: where the ten in the four or five. You know
- 5:42Speaker 1: where that is? Absolutely, absolutely, I know where you at.
- 5:45Speaker 1: I know where you had full five. I'll just tell
- 5:47Speaker 1: you know. People we were talking about the streamer thon.
- 5:51Speaker 1: But when you get to l A, I'm gonna tell
- 5:53Speaker 1: you something. L A got traffic on lockdown. I know
- 5:57Speaker 1: a lot of season complained or I got traffic. No,
- 6:00Speaker 1: you don't know, you don't. I have gotten off a
- 6:03Speaker 1: plane at ten o'clock at night, got on the four
- 6:07Speaker 1: five and was backed up and on a Sunday on
- 6:12Speaker 1: the Sunday, on a Sunday. So if you don't understand
- 6:16Speaker 1: how to drive backstreets in l A, You're not gonna
- 6:19Speaker 1: get around. You're gonna be the most frustrated human being
- 6:21Speaker 1: in the world. You know I'm talking about girl. You
- 6:23Speaker 1: know I'm not. You don't telling the truth. You don't
- 6:25Speaker 1: talking to I'm like four hours from how I mean,
- 6:28Speaker 1: I'm sorry, four miles from Hollywood. It takes me thirty
- 6:31Speaker 1: plus minutes to get there on the street. Absolutely, it's
- 6:34Speaker 1: it's amazing how that that journey. But but her. Hollywood
- 6:37Speaker 1: is a different beach, it's a different animal. But the
- 6:39Speaker 1: thing about it is it's a you know, entertainment capital
- 6:42Speaker 1: as truly is the enter cain if you if you're
- 6:44Speaker 1: trying to make your career, make it, whether it's music, acting,
- 6:48Speaker 1: or or writing or producing the director. Hollywood is still
- 6:51Speaker 1: the place now. You hear places like Atlanta where I'm based. Truly,
- 6:56Speaker 1: you know you can, you can make some in roads.
- 6:58Speaker 1: But a lot of productions are being out here. They
- 7:01Speaker 1: are started in Los Angeles and then they're taken to Canada,
- 7:05Speaker 1: they're taken to New York, they're taking to South Carolina,
- 7:08Speaker 1: to Georgia, to New Orleans. So, oh, we don't get
- 7:10Speaker 1: it twisted. L A and California is truly to steal base.
- 7:14Speaker 1: That's why when COVID hit, it was like the center
- 7:17Speaker 1: point of of everybody's shutting down and everybody's trying to
- 7:21Speaker 1: figure out how to get it going again. How did
- 7:23Speaker 1: COVID affect you, Cheryl, because I know it overtly affected
- 7:26Speaker 1: all African Americans, And how did it affect you in
- 7:29Speaker 1: your family? Well? Actually, uh, we were scheduled to do
- 7:32Speaker 1: a concert uh in like mid March, uh and they
- 7:38Speaker 1: shut the whole state down like a week before the concert,
- 7:42Speaker 1: So all of our shows wiped off the calendar, um
- 7:46Speaker 1: and we were we actually have only performed once this year,
- 7:52Speaker 1: which was in September in Las Vegas. It was a
- 7:54Speaker 1: pay per view, but everything else on our calendar got erased.
- 7:58Speaker 1: It was gone, you know, every all the plans that
- 8:00Speaker 1: we had our shows are you know, I mean we
- 8:03Speaker 1: have a very um uh timed sequence show and the
- 8:09Speaker 1: promoter tails us how many minutes and we create the
- 8:13Speaker 1: show for that particular time slot. So all of those
- 8:17Speaker 1: plans for all the shows, all the set lists and
- 8:21Speaker 1: everything just got put on whole white clean uh. And
- 8:25Speaker 1: of course, you know, our our financial subsistence from performing,
- 8:29Speaker 1: of course, was was paused. So uh but impossible. You know. California,
- 8:42Speaker 1: of course, as we know, is a very liberal state,
- 8:45Speaker 1: and because there are so many creative uh occupations here,
- 8:51Speaker 1: you know, acting, music, all of that, there is a
- 8:56Speaker 1: level of uh support that we're we were able to
- 9:00Speaker 1: tap into financially to help those industries that may not
- 9:05Speaker 1: have the uh what is it the w W four forms.
- 9:08Speaker 1: You know, absolutely we're basically a ten ninety nine income
- 9:14Speaker 1: and so we were able to sustain ourselves with different policies.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Uh and UH programs really assisted you guys a lot
- 9:24Speaker 1: to Kresak when they came through. The politicians have complaints
- 9:28Speaker 1: about California, but I have to say, California really believes
- 9:32Speaker 1: in its entertainment, uh, the industry, and they try to
- 9:36Speaker 1: do as much as they can to support that. I mean,
- 9:39Speaker 1: it's this the heartbeat, the lifeline of California. Uh. And really,
- 9:43Speaker 1: you know a lot of people that's all they do
- 9:45Speaker 1: or are ten ninety nine jobs if you know what
- 9:47Speaker 1: at ten ninety nine forman you know, at the end
- 9:50Speaker 1: of the year, you gotta practice. Come on, that's the
- 9:53Speaker 1: worst boy. If you forget that, they ever remind you
- 9:55Speaker 1: in the government. Okay, let's let's talk. Let's talk about
- 9:58Speaker 1: you those shows, you know, the you know, they were
- 10:01Speaker 1: just white, clean, just gone. But you know, I mean
- 10:04Speaker 1: we still support each other. We still you know, get
- 10:07Speaker 1: together on zoom or call each other on the phone
- 10:10Speaker 1: or texting, you know, uh, to just keep in touch.
- 10:13Speaker 1: But like I said, we were lucky to have at
- 10:15Speaker 1: least one show this year that actually turned out to
- 10:18Speaker 1: be a pay per view show with the confunction uh,
- 10:22Speaker 1: Lakeside Yard brols and people fine, phone phone fantastic voids.

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

- 20:25Speaker 1: to COVID. We know there's a vaccine on the way.
- 20:27Speaker 1: But we all know how that works, that minorities are

- 20:33Speaker 1: way it is. Uh. I wish I could change the system.
- 20:36Speaker 1: If your minority got money, then you'll be ahead of
- 20:39Speaker 1: the minority that don't have money, but you will be
- 20:41Speaker 1: behind the people who really got money. But with that
- 20:44Speaker 1: being said, we just want some money. We want this
