+Benny Diggs
+Morris Gray
+Arnold McCuller
A silky New York group that never got their due despite a
fair amount of support, Revelation was Philip Ballou,
Benny Diggs, Arthur Freeman, and Arnold McCuller ? all
longtime church friends. Hopes were high after they signed
what seemed like a sweetheart deal with RSO Records in
1974 that resulted in five singles and an album, before
ending around 1977 due to RSO's inability to get any of
the releases rolling on the charts. "Sweet Talk and
Melodies," "Get Ready for This," "What Good Am I Without
You," and their remake of Real Things' "You to Me Are
Everything" were solid recordings that failed to reach the
masses. In 1978, they inked with RCA Records for an
acclaimed album entitled Make Every Day Count accompanied
by the New York Community Choir. They backed Vickie Sue
Robinson (uncredited) in 1979 on her hit RCA single "Turn
the Beat Around." RSO also experienced a few personnel
changes; Freeman and McCuller were out, and Morris Gray
and Kevin Owens in. A single from the album, "Move on Up"
b/w "Get in Touch With My Feelings," released October
1979, fell by the wayside. Apparently fed up with majors,
Revelation inked with a smaller entity called Handshake
Records for three more singles from 1980 to 1981 but none
of them ? "When I Fall in Love" b/w "Feel It," "Stand Up"
b/w "Touch the Magic of Love," and "I'm Not Giving Up" b/w
"Holding On" ? made a national impression and they
disbanded. Freeman kept busy writing, often with Benny
Diggs, but solo as well and later resolved into gospel
music. McCuller continued singing and writing, and once
toured as James Taylor's backup singer. Philip Ballou
toured with Luther Vandross as backing singer before
relinquishing the gig to Kevin Owens, who, with Ava Cherry
and Lisa Fischer, took touring backup singers to a new
level; Owens also replaced Harry Ray in Ray, Goodman, &
Brown when Harry passed in the early '90s. Diggs remained
active as a songwriter, producer, and touring musician.
Another Quality Release from OSC!!
