Album Notes

We are the rhythm and blues group "Double Exposure" from Kansas City, Missouri. Our collective musical experience spans several decades. Group members from left to right on front cover of the "ALWAYS" CD are: David Smith, Bert Cole, Emmitt Crook and Herman Oates. Bert, Emmitt and Herman sang together for a number of years with various lead singers.

After losing yet another lead singer the trio had a brain storming session to find a lead singer with a high level of dedication. Herman knew David and felt that if the timimg was right David could be the right man for the job. David was contacted and met with the guys and developed an instant rapport. David joined the group in May of 2001 and things began to take off. The first order of business was to complete the already started CD, "ALWAYS".

The "ALWAYS" CD contains a unique mixture of sultry love ballads, finger poppers and rump shakers. The group is comprised of four very talented gentlemen who possess a wide vocal range, which produces some of the sweetest harmony in the business. For example, David sings lead vocals, first tenor, second tenor and baritone. Herman sings lead vocals, alto, second tenor, baritone and bass. Bert sings second tenor and baritone. And Emmitt sings second tenor, baritone and bass. With vocal ranges that span the musical scale, this group possesses the unique ability to to perform a wide variety of popular songs.

In addition to our debut CD "ALWAYS", WHICH I'm sure you'll enjoy, we also perform popular tunes from other well known artists, like the "Temptations" the "Whispers" the "Dramatics" the "Spinners" the "Stylistics" the "Manhattans" "Tower of Power" the "Friends of Distinction" "Chocolate Milk" and many more. We perform in a variety venues. We've been the opening act for major stars like James Brown, Bloodstone and Bobby Bland. We also perform at corporate functions, college campuses, private parties, weddings, and night clubs. So, if you're ready for a rump shakin' finger poppin' sultry musical experience, grab your baby, turn the lights down low and play "Double Exposures" new release-- "ALWAYS".
