Albritton McClain ~ Simply Irresistible / Broken Wings / Shock The Monkey

Albritton McClain & The Bridge Of Souls ~ Mini Concert @ Captain Nemo's ~ 1991 ~ Albritton McClain (Vocal) ~ Ron Gatty (Bass, Keyboards & Vocal) ~ Dave Austin (Drums) ~ Monika McClain (Vocal, Percussion & Dance) ~ Michael Gotz (Guitar & Vocal). Simply Irresistible by Robert Palmer / Broken Wings by (Mr. Mister) Richard Page, Steve George, and John Lang / Shock The Monkey by Peter Gabriel. This 3 song video featuring ‘The Bridge Of Souls’ was taken from an entire evening of archival footage of the group. The footage was apparently captured and edited “on the fly” with a camera and built in mic. It was generously given to me by its creator: a young man who had become a fan of the then, three month old band that I had recently formed after moving to the Seattle area. I seem to remember him being particularly enamored with my little sister Monika, who performed in the group. Sadly, I was later told that he had prematurely ‘passed on’ and left our planet within the next year, due to illness. I feel very grateful and indebted to this gracious person I briefly met, but call a ‘friend’, whose name I do not know, who generously gave of his time and creativity to capture the spark of this band in its infancy, 23 years ago… In particular, I dedicate “Broken Wings” to his memory. Nothing but Love, my Brother... :-)
