D'Anthony "Tone" Johnson. Recording & Mix Engineer for the 1993 Grammy Award Winning Single and Album, the Great Easy MO Bee Produced the Doo Bop Song. Eric Lynch and I were the Last Engineers to Capture The Great Trumpeters Magical Horn before he made his universal transition into the essence in a studio recording at Unique Recording studio's, NYC times Square. The song also Featured the Group R.I.F. Rapping is Fundamental featuring Easy Mo Bee, J.R. and AB Money, From Brooklyn NYC. This Hop Hop, R&B, Jazz, Doo Wop, fusion is a first of a Kind. Way before its Time. I'm part of some Legendary Historical Iconic projects. 1990"s was probally the Most Creative Era in Music Production, and I was a big part of this eras most iconic moments. Rest in your ultimate Creative spirit Mr Davis. Salute King. 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑 🎼🎵🎶🎙🎤🎛🎚 🎧🎺🎸🥁🎹🎷🎻 🌞🌙⭐️🌍🪐🌠🌌
