Detroit-born vocalist Colonel Abrams (his actual name) enjoyed moderate success in the late '80s, singing in a harsh, terse soul style while fitting his voice into a garage and house setting. Abrams was in the group Conservative Manor with his brother Morris in the late '60s, then sang lead vocals for <a href="spotify:artist:0Vl8HhdQAUi6sJfNQuZHQL">94 East</a> in 1976. Their roster included <a href="spotify:artist:5a2EaR3hamoenG9rDuVn8j">Prince</a> on guitar. Abrams later joined <a href="spotify:artist:3YLa6WVt43oHPsq5rbcSBl">Surprise Package</a>, a New Jersey group. He scored a mild hit in 1984 with the ballad "Leave the Message Behind the Door" for New York's Streetwise Records. The follow-up, "Music Is the Answer," was an international dance hit and earned him a deal with MCA in 1985. He had more success with the singles "Trapped," "I'm Not Gonna Let You," and "How Soon We Forget" in the late '80s, and also recorded a pair of LPs. Abrams' single "Bad Timing" was produced by <a href="spotify:artist:545idYhdloaSlLGBY8E9u2">Cameo</a>'s <a href="spotify:artist:2TcBq6BoNAkVLaSRdVuZB0">Larry Blackmon</a> for the independent Horrus label in 1990. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
