USPA NEWS - The Next Movement was in rare form Friday night at the Old School by the Pool party at Treasure Island in Las Vegas Nevada. I dont thihk anyone was ready for what was about to happen, well maybe the Next Movement followers, but anybody that has never seen the show was in for a treat for the night...
On Friday, May 2nd I had the privilege of interviewing Next Movement at the Old School by the Pool at Treasure Island Hotel & Casinoin Las Vegas Nevada.
The band performs all over the country but their main stay is here in Las Vegas where they perform at different venues around town and they have a large following.
Band members Ornell Haywood, Guy Sutton, Earl Shelby and Samual Thomas, Jr. are celebrating their 43rd anniversay of the band being together.
The band was formed in 1971 on the South side of Chicago, their first release was in the sae year and it was called " Girl Why Do You Want To Take My Heart." they performed that song on the Soul Train Show in Chicago.
In 1976 the band came to Las Vegas and performed at the Thunderbird Hotel
They perrformed with Redd Fox while they were at The Thunderbird Hotel. The band left Las Vegas for a short timeto record an album and to do some touring but they returned in 1986 and have been playing arenas here ever since.
I was able to stay, watch and take some photos of the bands performance at the pool party.
Three hours of Next Movement performing a mixture of old school and present songs with moves that aftr seeing them gave you the reason why they have their name.
I could tell these guys were at there best on stage, the moves the harmony, it was all there.
Remember the name "Next Movement". If you are ever in Las Vegas you have to see them you will not be disappointed.
Thank you guys and Debbie Pope for the interview I enjoyed it..
