QUINN RECEIVED SOME ENLIGHTENMENT FROM MARSHALL THOMPSON OF THE CHI-LITES

By Dwight L. Quinn

I'm just a bigger fan today as I was in years past of Groups like the Chi-lites out of Chicago, Illinois. I had the pleasure of speaking with Marshall Thompson Saturday by phone in great length. And I was totally delighted with the wisdom and enlightenment that I gained from my conversation with Marshall. He brought me out of that Old School mode and into the understanding of the now a day, what-you-should-know, about the entertainment climate the habits, attitudes and practices that influences the Live Music Market. 

Well it soon became pretty clear that I had been walking around with blinders on, being distracted by the effects, and paying little or no attention to the,cause i.e.(the Market). We both agreed that the Music business has definitely changed and the audience (the Market) that we play to today is just as different as we were (the Market) in the 60's. I can't emphasize enough as to how different that we were. And it's that different that causes,change, how they buy, how they listen to music, how they move it around, what's acceptable today as opposed to what 
was and wasn't acceptable yesteryear is 360 degrees different. But the fundamental foundation of the Business are still intact.
Marshall Thompson new Album, Hot On A Thing is riding on the waves of the today's sound but like a pro, Marshall carefully applied this legendary Groups signature-sound-style that is a legacy of the Chi-Lites. 
For those of you, who haven't had the pleasure of hearing, Marshall's new Album, Hot On A Thing. I highly recommend you to click this link and Listen, 


Just fourteen and half more weeks will mark a very special milestone at Quinn Records TM. It will be 42 years ago that I recorded and released my first album, by a local r&b group from St. Louis called The Amazing Dramas.
