Formed in Mansfield, Ohio in 1974 under the name First Class. Featuring brothers Bobby and Tommy DeBarge and Greg Williams, all of whom hailed from Grand Rapids, Michigan along with Akron, Ohio natives Phillip Ingram (brother of James Ingram), Eddie Fluellen and Jody Sims. At the time, they called themselves First Class. They joined Barry White's background group 'White Heat' as background musicians and were let go shortly thereafter.
This Saturday marks their long overdue return to Ohio on Saturday night at Al C. Sanders restaurant on Romig Road, in Akron, OH. Come on out and join the celebration. Admission is just $5.00. The food is excellent, the music will be tight. With you on the set all will be right.
The party starts at 8pm and ends at the stroke of midnight. Be there or be square. The band will perform at the African American Festival on Sunday night. If you can't make it out Saturday night join us at Lock 3 on Sunday for a fun filled day of FREE poetry, music and activities for the whole family.
