It is amazing what musicians in the 70s and 80s went through. So many people got the shaft. But so much great music came out of this era. Midnight Star is definitely in the top ten of R&B acts of 1982-1986.

I like to think "Midnight Star" although they did electro funk.....there sound had some early hip hop influence to their sound. Songs like "Operator", "Freakazoid" & "Tuff" are fine examples to break dance too....if you like "Midnight Star". Check out "Newcleus", "Manna Parrish", "Bernard Wright", "Herbie Hancock" & "Oran Juice Jones. All these groups there sound made great break dance music...... 😎🎧🎤😎🎧🎤😎🎧

Belinda Lipscomb is my 1st cousin. Her grandfather and mine were brothers. Midnight Star did not make alot of money like our family thought they did. Our family was so upset with Belinda, because her mother Betty Lipscomb was driving around in a old white beat up Cadillac which her mom had years before Midnight Star ever hit the scene. While we thought Belinda was very successful, and we also knew she loved her mother and couldn't figure out why she would do her mother that way. Her mom did eventually get a new car, Belinda found time to come around family on holidays, but for me, she was an ordinary family member, she was never a celebrity to me. Last I'm hearing she has a talk show in Cincinnati.

I see the Calloway brothers remained on Solar for that first album. I also noticed Melvin and Belinda got writing credits on the single. I wonder how that worked out…I can only assume this was a song that may have been intended for the group right at the time the brothers were thinking about leaving. Hmmm…🤔

The fact that chick called a member of the group checking the books is "crazy" says it all. All the Callaway s seem sketchy.

When Babyface wrote Slow Jam, he was already in The Deele. Solar gave Bo & Belinda let them sing as a duet on the track. Standing Together, No Parking, Planetary Invasion, Headlines were like gold and platinum albums. The Billie Jean inspired song "Night Rider" is always my joint.
