Brighter Side Of Darkness
Band, US
R&B/Soul
Brighter Side of Darkness was a short-lived American R&B/soul group. They were formed in 1971 at Calumet High School in Chicago, Illinois. Their lead singer was 12-year-old Darryl Lamont; the other members were Ralph Eskridge, Randolph Murph, Larry Washington and Albert Vanderlier Roberts. They released the single "Love Jones" in December 1972. It was a hit in the US (Hot 100, #16; Hot Soul Singles, #3)[3] and was certified gold by February 9, 1973 by the RIAA. They released an album, Love Jones, in 1973. Their second single, "I Owe You Love", was less successful. "Love Jones" was parodied as "Basketball Jones" by Cheech and Chong in 1973. The parody was released as a single in August 1973 and reached #15 on the Hot 100. The group broke up for a period in the 70s due to management disputes, reforming to cut one final single for the Magic Touch label in 1978 before finally disbanding.
