Featured in TIR Episode 272: Mother’s Finest singer/songwriter Joyce “Baby Jean” Kennedy! Along with her husband, Glenn “Doc” Murdock, she is a founding member of a band that has blazed musical trails and obliterated genre and racial boundaries throughout its 50+ year history. With amazing classic tracks like “Baby Love,” “Truth’ll Set You Free,” “Giving You All the Love (Inside of Me),” “Rain,” “Fire,” “Mickey’s Monkey,” “Can’t Fight the Feeling,” “Love Changes” and “Don’t Wanna Come Back,” Mothers Finest notched three straight gold albums during the 1970s while becoming a world-renowned live act.
During a 1980s break from the group, Kennedy scored a hit ballad duet with Jeffrey Osbourne called “The First Time I Made Love.” This year, she released the six-song EP, “Rock’n My Soul,” and Mother’s Finest continues to throw it down on stage.
