He Was For Real!!!.......2007-03-16

A tragedy that he passed in 1999. However, those of us who know of him were left with quite a gift that he bestowed upon us in 1987. I was in college, and I remember hearing him tear up the Originals' "Baby I'm For Real" one night on the radio. His vocal gymnastics throughout the song quickly grabbed my attention: the growling, crooning, howling and smooth-as-butter begging that could make Keith Sweat and even David Ruffin stand up and take notice! After basketball practice the next day, I remember placing a call to a friend at the local R&B radio station the next day and begging him for a copy, which he provided on promo CD single (which I still have, as well as the full CD). "Just Call" and "Tell Me" did not disappoint either! Due to a horrific cocaine addiction, he was never heard from again after this album, but he was definitely NOT a one-hit wonder! Listen to this album and sample some heaven for yourself!

Oh, if he was only still alive.......2006-10-23

With a wondrous voice made to do battle with Luther & Freddie, Sherrick (born Lamotte Smith on 7-6-58) had everything necessary to be a hall-of-fame soul belter. His one and only album, a 1987 self-titled work, spawned the huge R&B hit "Just Call" and in that song he hits some impossibly high notes that even Luther & Freddie might struggle with. Unfortunately, he also had an awful drug habit, which derailed his career and ultimately led to his death in 1999.

The Remorse of a Bright and Shinning Star.......2005-08-08

Sherrick to me was such a soulful singer who had such a beatiful talent to share with the world, and for him to have only 1 album to his credit is without a doubt a TRAGEDY. Lots of people may not have heard of him, but for the ones that did will remember him forever. It deeply saddens me to learn that he passed away because he had the vocal talent to stand against many of todays top entertainers. Once you hear the album from beginning to end you'll completely understand what i've been saying. Since the release of the album in 1987 i've been playing the cassette until i just learn that it was available on CD, and I wasted NO time to add it to my personal collection.

A forgotten Soul Man........2004-07-20

Sherrick recorded this album in 1987 and it was one of the best R&B releases of its time. On the ultra-soulful slow jams "All Because Of You", "Lady You Are", "Let's Be Lovers Tonight" and his superior cover version of The Originals' "Baby I'm For Real" Sherrick shows he was truly destined to be a part of the pantheon reserved for the truly great soul singers. Unfortunately, a horrific cocaine addiction prevented Sherrick from releasing another album and his career was thus ended. Listening to this album today is quite a poignant experience as it makes one wonder just what heights he could have reached had he not suffered from the disease of drug addiction.

Sherrick, Self-Titled.......2004-07-05

I seriously recommend this album. This is Sherrick's first and only release. Sherrick had one of the best vocal ranges in soul/r&b music. The album consists of 9 trax with soul to spare (check out the sublime "Just Call"). 17 yrs on, I am still playing this to the max. Although, listening to this specific album does bring on feelings of sadness as he passed away in early 1999 aged only 41. I only wish that this wonderfully talented artist could have left us with more, as he deserved to have more than just one album to his name. There again, I suppose quality is better than quantity.

If you like REAL soul music, then it's almost a sin not to possess this album.

I give Sherrick a 5 star rating!!

And may he RIP
