The Chisa Years 1965-1975 (Rare and Unreleased)

Afro Beat Blues

Four supremely talented vocalists: Lorna Young, sisters Alicia and Denise Amaro, and Sandra Gail Brown all come from musical families and grew up singing in church from an early age. This new group call themselves Fillies Finazz, and they truly are Philly's finest. Lorna Young, the brainchild behind this new aggregation, knew the minute she assembled this fine cast of experienced vocalists that she had indeed found something special. Between the Amaro sisters impeccable blood harmony, and the unique, diverse stylings of Young and Brown, Fillies Finazz represent a vocal quartet at the top of their game. Right out of high school Sandra Gail Brown joined the group "Sassafras" that included her sister Vera Brown and close friend Carlstein Levere. They recorded an album on the H&L label and shared the stage with major acts like BB King and Ray Charles. Sassafras stopped performing when Sandra's sister Vera became the lead singer for the world famous "Ritchie Family." Sandra toured as a background vocalist with The Village People and the Ritchie Family, and ended up performing in the UK, Scotland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Bavaria, and Holland. The talented Amaro sisters have performed all over the tri-state area including the prestigious Uptown Theater. Alicia has worked with many Philadelphia artists, not only as a singer but as a much in demand choreographer and vocal coach. As a teenager, Lorna Young became confident and comfortable as an entertainer when she joined the group "Ultimate Experience" and has since shared the stage with many well-known artists and entertainers over the years and is now 100% confident that she has found the right blend of people and talent in Fillies Finazz. The group met with the famed producer Butch Ingram from Society Hill Records to discuss a new recording project and their subsequent advance singles garnered great reviews from DJs and music professionals from around the world. The resulting full-length, titled “Singing For Tomorrow,” received acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, and offered more proof of greatness from this talented foursome. As a gift for all the "Steppers" around the globe, one of the standout tracks from the album, "So I Can Love You" has been newly mixed for this special single. 


Fillies Finazz - So I Can Love You (Steppers Mix)

“Lying” by ORNGBAKPAK dives into the emotional wreckage left behind when trust is broken beyond repair. The song paints a vivid picture of betrayal not just the moment the lie is discovered, but the slow-burning internal collapse that follows. It captures that painful realization that everything you believed in the love, the promises, the future you imagined was built on a false foundation.
The verses are raw and introspective, reflecting the numb confusion of piecing together truths that never existed. The chorus is a mix of aching vulnerability and quiet rage, ORNGBAKPAK admits he wants to forgive, to fix things but the damage is already permanent.
At its core, “Lying” is about the impossible choice between love and self-respect and the truth that sometimes, no matter how deep the feelings go, trust doesn’t get a second chance.
