In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Eddie: My earliest musical memory is when my mom took me to a Duke Ellington concert. That night, I knew I wanted to play the saxophone. John: I was about seven when my aunt took me to the Apollo in New York to see James Brown.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “After the Game (B2B Covering Wayman Tisdale)” This song is special to John and I as we originally recorded it with Wayman Tisdale. For our version, we had amazing artists like Sy Smith and Derek ‘DOA’ Allen. Wayman’s influence, along with this collaboration, means so much to us.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Eddie: Taking the stage with Prince on the "PURPLE RAIN TOUR" it was truly a musical journey for me. John: In 1991, I had the honor of playing with Patti LaBelle at Wembley Stadium for Nelson Mandela’s release. I toured with her for 8 amazing years.
