Ebony

R&B/Soul
A.k.a. Linah Khama

The duo was named Ebony - two beautiful black girls. The disband of Joy in May 1983 created on opportunity for prospective femal groups. Ebony filled the vaccum. Peter Tladi who was Promotions Manager at RPM Records at that time marketed the debut maxi aggressively and serious attention was given to also market it internationally as the potential was obvious. They shared backing band Stimela with the Street Kids at live converts. By the way, Street Kids were Paul Ndlovu and Oupa Poho.Later Mercy Pakela had a stint with Ebon to make it a trio. Rebecca Malope also worked with the group, which was managed by Peter Tladi. Lena would ultimately be know as Ebony. Another maxi single was released with two hot tracks co-written by Sizwe Zako and Godfrey Nzuza. They were " Tell Me Why" and "Do You Remember?" producer by Ray Phiri.
