Oh Amazon...

I do love your DRM free MP3 albums.

I also love when your mix up Fredrik the Swedish experimental band and Frederick, the former R&B band famous in the northeast Ohio area. What, you're not familiar with the vibrant R&B scene of northeast Ohio? Amazon is.

Prior to the Dazz Band, Levert, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's chart assaults, Frederick's "Gentle (Calling Your Name)" held the distinction of being the most popular R&B/soul recording ever cut in the northeast Ohio area, reaching number 40 on the pop charts in 1985. Cleveland natives Edwin Starr, Bobby Womack, the Hesitations, and the O'Jays recorded bigger hits, but in other places. Frederick cut…
Awesome.
