Personnel: Emmanuel Rahiem LeBlanc (vocals, guitar); Herb Lane (vocals, keyboards); Paul Service (vocals, drums); Keith Crier (vocals). Audio Mixers: Jimmy Simpson; Andy Abrams. Liner Note Author: Steven E. Flemming Jr. Recording information: Sigma Sound; Sound Palace. Editor: Wayne A. Dickson. Arranger: GQ. The four members of GQ -- Emmanuel Rahiem LeBlanc, Keith "Sabu" Crier, Herb Lane, and Paul Service -- first recorded as the Rhythm Makers for Vigor Records. Their smash "Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" was first recorded on Vigor as "Soul on Your Side"; the track is identical, but a new title and lyrics were added to cash in on the disco craze. "Disco Nights" topped the R&B charts for two weeks in 1970. LeBlanc first recorded at the tender age of 13 with a group he formed called Sons of Darkness. GQ was self-contained and wrote most of the material on this LP, except for A Taste of Honey's "Boogie Oogie Oogie" and Billy Stewart's classic "I Do Love You," which nearly went to number one also. "It's Your Love" is a beautiful, airy-sounding ballad that is uniquely arranged; the enthusiastic, positive message of "Make My Dream a Reality" will have you disco dancing to its lively beats and urgent, pleading vocals. ~ Andrew Hamilton
