Kenny
Greene of 'Intro' Fame dies
Well
it's hard to believe but it's true Kenny
'Smoothe' Greene
of 'Intro'
fame died of the AIDS related virus last week. The talented
singer/songwriter/producer who was gay was reported to have left the group
because the other members of the group (Jeff
Sanders and Buddy
Wike) was not comfortable
with his chosen lifestyle.
Kenny
was responsible for giving us hits like 'Love
thang', 'Come
Inside' 'Funny
how time flies' and the
excellent rendition of Stevie
Wonder's 'Ribbon
in the sky' as well as duet
hits with the group 'The Truth'
('What u do 2 me').
A talented young man in his own right who will be sorely missed by his fans.
My condolences to his family.
