Was pleased to lay hands on the press release entitled Motown Record Corporation Biography Of Rose Banks.
After the first page introduction, the press release continues:-
"The past has been a varying musical experience starting with her performances with her brothers and sisters at the young age of five before the congregation of The All Nation's Church Of God In Christ in Vallejo, California.
"Hers has always been a family affair even when Sylvester moved to San Francisco and became a DJ, everyone kept in touch. When Sly asked her to join his new group in 1968 as the keyboard player, she had some reservations because it was a big step away from the warmth of the church. But Sly told her he knew she could do it and that she would have a lot of fun in the process.
"Once involved, she realised that the same spiritual feelings hold forth when people listen and love your music no matter what it is.
" 'I love for an audience to show me how they feel when I know that I've given my best.'
" 'If there is one thing I've learned from playing with my brother, it is the beauty of spontaneity. It's a wonderful experience for your music to just flow and not be controlled by charts.'
"Rose's new album will be called just that, ROSE, and will feature her in a variety of music treatment from the popular disco sound to ballads. The album was produced by Bubba Banks along with the Temptations' producer, Jeffrey Bowen.
"Rose's musical entourage consists of several fellow Sly associates, David Stallings (guitar), Rustee Allen (bass), Ted Sparks (drums), and Pat Rizzo (sax).
"To say Rose is a new artist is really an overstatement, but her sound is new and the next time you hear the name Rose Banks, you'll know from whence the rose came."
