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.

Black Ivory is a group that is very unsung and underrated! Their harmonies are always on point and they are still doing their thing!

Mannn..."The seasons have changed and I must rearrange my life..." Feeling this to the depths of my soul right now.

3/9/23: The Delfonics & Black Ivory were my all time favorite groups. Miss the sound and words of music from the 70's. This song and 'Don't Turn Around' are so soulfully beautiful, still listening in 2023.

This takes me to a happier time in my life. I was a teenager without a care in the world. I never knew how tragic my life would be. But through the heartache and pain, I have God and Black Ivory to cheer me up. God bless you always.

I played this song repeadedly when I broke up with my ex. Played it in the car loud like it was the latest hip hop song. Love Black Ivory. Thanks for the post
@maceio1986

I remember hearing this album playing from practically every window in my neighborhood when I was a little girl.

Glad I grew up in the 70's and had the privilege of listening to my folks play all these classic jams...these young folks don't know anything about REAL MUSIC...

Such an amazing group that was extremely underrated
