AWB Star In The Ghetto

[@robertsancho2321]

A great album and collaboration. I wish they would have done one more album.

[@edbarnes8765]

These were the days when music was performed with pure passion unlike these days that you have a computer that will make it for you. Not the same. Sad its come to this. I'm a percussionist of 30+ years and understand the true sound of music and this is one of them. That's why I will always keep my vinyl records when I want to listen to real music. One of my favorites from AWB.

[@ralphmiklic4225]

Could listen to this song forever and ever🙏🙏🙏❤️😎

[@inglepropnoosegarm7801]

Great song, great singer, great band.

[@tanyachavis2578]

This song didn’t get much play but it deserved to. Ben E. King of “Stand By Me” fame? What a great song, collaboration and message. They’re all not stars in the ghetto but I am! I’m a local musical favorite! And I love it! Who’s still listening in 222?

[@calvinpadgett5391]

One of my all time favorite songs! I'm a star in the hood too.

[@caballeronegro4238]

Heard this song for the first time today..... This is when music had life in it. It's so nice to be reminded of a time when people had real talent!

[@ianjackson4157]

I was a sophomore in high school when this song was introduced to me.

[@gl6996]

Ren is a villain And you're just a hostage So whenever I'm steppin' Cover you're head like an ostrich

[@zscottdavis9567]

This was not your average white band and they knew it!! Hence the name itself

[@Roh-c8e]

How I wished that James Brown remade a version of this song. It would of added a deeper soul in it.

[@vaughnmiller3896]

JB was soul brother #1.. This one works for me after all, I'm just a star in the ghetto.

[@darhyllacy3671]

James would have added a rawness that wasnt needed. James in 77 could have used a hit though.

[@donford4194]

did the black guys ever sing lead

[@vaughnmiller3896]
