Beverly And Duane

In 1977, the group was signed by Ariola Capitol EMI Records, with their first album due out in 1978. First hit with producer Will Hatcher was “Glad I Gotcha, Baby” and was released with an extended length disco version, followed by the beautiful love song “Living In A World (All By Myself) and the upbeat “Take A Ride” depending on the part of the country you lived in. The duality of the release was owing to a professional dispute at Fee Records and Beverly and Duane’s newly appointed management team BARSTO, consisting of Barrow and Myron D. Stokes. Beverly toured subsequent to album release in expectation of the duo’s first child. She was an administrative assistant at Ford Motor Company.
