I thought three had already passed. They were all very young. Rest in Peace Trisco .Quote:

Ok man, thanks. All the same, this is some sad news. Trisco was really cool. All of them were much too young.Quote:

Trisco was the one to keep the group alive after the deaths of Antoine Lundy, DJ Dr. Rock and Charles "Mercury" Nelson. Force MD's was a group of friends that got together on the streets to harmonize like the groups did back in the 50s.Quote:

TC had a voice that ranked with Johnny Wilder, Jr., Luther, Phillip Bailey, and Smokey for its pure smoothness. He didn't have their chops, only because he didn't have their experience. He had soooo much more to do when he died.Quote:

Jerry it's always been my opinion that the best singing comes from those who do it because of the sheer enjoyment of it and that is what TC did. Over time, he/ they will be remember as some of the greats.Quote:
