Here I am as a backup singer in 1986 - with Prakash John and the Lincolns - one of the best, most memorable gigs I've ever done. The band - consisting of Prakash John on bass, Steve Ambrose, lead vocals, Michael Fonfara on keys, Asher Horowitz on guitar, Earl Seymour, Vern Dorge and Steve Mcdade, horn section - with Joanne Perica and David Blamires on backups - is one of the best in Toronto's rich music history.
I was fortunate enough to be a co-producer on this magical production, my 1/2 second of fame 😂 Two days of the usual hiccups but what an outcome. You were all brilliant! ❤
@@bumblerock4048 ? drummer, but whoever they had was always excellent I believe steve hoy from Edmonton had the gig for a while and he was a particular fave . earl Seymour (RIP) was from Edmonton, too .Prakash son Jordan, would have been the best they ever had , but he may not even have been born yet. if you don't know his work look him up
Prakash also with ALICE COOPER Welcome to my night mare album,and others, now with JORDAN JOHN and THE BLUE ANGELS , THANKS FOR POST THIS its very good work.
Garooovy baby ! Sharp lookin' gang, funky swing, hot bg singers! Steven Ambrose is totally cool (and looks even better that justin trudeau does these days). Fab outdoor stage high over the glorious Rideau River with the Hill beyond.

Drummer?
Loved this band, saw them many times both in T.O. and Edmonton. First saw Prakash with George Oliver and Soulchildren in '69.

Canadian musicians in their finest hour, fantastic!
How many wonderful nights I had dancing at the Unicorn in Toronto and "Peaches" on Pears to these faabbbulous men
..
The Blue Note on Pears before Pears --- amirite?
This was my favourite band back in the day. Heard them several times at Dollar Bills in the Prince George Hotel Kingston.
Great vocal by Steven Ambrose!
Love these boyz used to go see them perform in North Vancouver many many many moons ago :
Superb band. Winnipeg loved them.
Lookin & Sounding Great Joanne! Cheers Hun & Thx for Sharing....Great Memories!
A fabulous band.
Love it, thanks for posting. I still play R &B here in Buffalo. You sound awesome.
The Lincolns band leader Prakash John is the same man that you can see playin' bass with Lou Reed on the live albums Live & Rock & Roll.
Wonderful band. Gotta make good bread to feed all those musicians!
Whadda arrangement! Gawd I loved this group !!
What a smoking little (BIG) combo. When Deb described the Lincolns to me, I did not really get it. What a class act!
Prakash also with ALICE COOPER Welcome to my night mare album,and others, now with JORDAN JOHN and THE BLUE ANGELS , THANKS FOR POST THIS its very good work.
