Exactly - he's a local artist with a decent following in Newark, but he never made it big outside of the local garage/house music scene. "You Are My Friend" was released on Cover Records in 1995... catalog number 001, and there isn't a release with number 002. Isn't he the guy who performed at that benefit in the park for the kid who died of cancer? The one that you didn't get hired for because you thought the kid's father was using city funds for his personal finances?
In my area, the closest thing to Kenny Bobien is Tavares, but they made it big.
