The group featured songwriter and prolific disco producer Leroy Burgess, Stuart Bascombe and Russell Patterson. They were managed by Patrick Adams, an executive at the Today/Perception record company. Burgess was the lead voice of the majority of their hits in the early '70's With Today/Perception being a small label, the promotion of Black Ivory's singles scarcely got beyond the East Coast. This lack of exposure, coupled with the rise of disco and the fact that Patrick Adams was beginning to branch out into other projects, caused Black Ivory to lose steam. Oddly enough, the group recorded several uptempo songs in the disco vein ( such as "Big apple Rock," "Walking Downtown (On A Saturday Night)", "What Goes Around (Comes Around)" and, later, "Mainline" but, not being known for the style, they were unable to compete when disco became the dominant music style. While he was with Black Ivory, Burgess frequently collaborated with Adams in writing songs. He also wrote the groups' final hit, "Mainline," which was recorded after he left the group.

A most beautiful song of which I wasn't aware until now. Don't know why I don't remember it since I've always been a Black Ivory fan. They certainly were underrated but it's good to know they're still performing and sound as good as ever.

Only difference is now Stewart is doing all of the lead parts instead of Leroy.

i say this to the x generation and the millenials. get back to music like this positive songs deep in meaning and the understanding of human emotions. i have been a Black Ivory fan from day 1and am ecstatic to find their original versions on utube, and if the producers are reading these do a remastered cd of their best songs. may every benefit from the message.

I'll settle for them using actual instruments and voices.
