I don't really have an a image that conveys how I feel right now, but the cover of "Thinking of Little Willie John and a few Nice Things" will have to suffice. Little Willie John was an R&B sensation in the late 40's and early fifties; he signed to King records and had a string of hits for the label, most notably "Fever." The Tempo Project (which Gordy was a founding member of) will be focused in the coming months on recording songs Gordy brought to the band, and we'll try to incorporate music he wrote for other projects (like the Coffee Achievers).

In other news:
Kevin Casey, a drummer who played with Gordy in Art Monk's Farm, is hosting the GordyStock Jam this Saturday (9/20) in Brockport. More than a few Badenovs and other friends of Gordon will be there.
Contact me via the Badenovs MySpace page for further information.
