Use Me Live

If you’ve ever seen Raymond Coats' West Coast Groove Band perform, you know what a high- drive artist he is. But ask him to talk about his career and the sociable, magnetic musician-songwriter becomes noticeably uncomfortable and gracelessly quiet. “The combined flashes are one big story telling that’s still not concluded. I just sit back and stay indebted to still be making music with helpers,” says the humble vocalist Coats, a consistent entertainer who has maintained an amazing ability to perform throughout his solo career that began in earnest in 1974. One of those memorable moments for Coats occurred twenty years ago at a Forty Niners game when walking up the ramp at half-time and singing one of his originals when he was stopped by Bill Withers who became a friend and confidant with whom he recorded in his studio. The two were a hit from the beginning. One of the tracks that came from this collaboration, “Special Love For me” came at a time when Bill, already a solo recording artist, and Coats was being propelled from being a first-call sideman to an in-demand solo artist. Oh, and seriously folks, don't forget to pick up your copy of his latest CD. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/raymondcoats26
