From his beginnings with Black Ivory in the early 70's through to his work with The Aleems in the 80's and all his solo projects in between he has been an inspirational figure in the under ground disco scene.
He mastered a truly unique sound that moved with the times and technology but still stayed to the side of the mainstream sound. From his irregular drum patterns to the stabby piano chords Leroy has always moved a crowd!! Please enjoy the selections and do your own little bit of research on this amazing musician. He is a gateway to a sound and time when there was true soul and passion being breathed into the music.
Stay smilin and we'll see you on the dancefloor!
