About Me

"POWER OF THE DREAM" Cd NOW AVAILABLE online at www.aidscentre.sun.ac.za/shop--- also at MUSICA, LOOK&LISTEN, CD RACK, digital formats online(google: Jimmie Earl Perry) and all your favorite music outlets********STOP AIDS, KEEP THE PROMISE!!!!SOUTH African based, American singer Jimmie Earl Perry‘s album Power of the Dream (Gallo) contains a number of originals, but will probably be noticed most for its cover versions. Most notably the album is produced as his vehicle to educate the world to prevent the spread of HIV.Perry has a 1970s soul singer style, similar to Luther Vandross or Barry White, and while his voice is phenomenal, the arrangements of Stevie Wonder‘s Have a Talk With God, John Lennon‘s Imagine, Leonard Bernstein‘s Somewhere and the Burt Bacharach/ Hal David composition What the World Needs Now are all flavored with his stunning interpretations and orchestrations are on the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every collector of good music should have a copy.For full life and career bio go to website..............
