It was written in 1986,John said, when the band called itself Turner and Friends.He even knows the date.“August 6, 1986,” he said, “thirty-some years ago. I was fumbling around on the guitar,waiting on my brother and the rest of the band to come to rehearsal. I started playingthe song and my brother and the lead singer walked in, and they said, ‘What is that?That’s good music.’ Next thing you know, we had the hook and a name, ‘I’ll Always.’Then we sat down and wrote it.”They released the song then, but it didn’t do much. When they recently decided to giveit another shot, they needed a singer, and that’s when they found Kelsey D. on a music site promoting musicians and singers. She does both the lead and backgroundharmonies on “I’ll Always.”“The song didn’t do anything back then because we couldn’t get it on the radio,” said John, but this time it’s turning out very different.“We’re blowing up now,” said John. “We’re up to almost 70,000 streams on Spotify,we’ve got 20,000 followers and a thousand streams on Apple. It’s also doing well onDitto, and the video just came out.”John and his brother, Kenneth, playing bass guitar, are well known in the R&B universe,where they have been writing and performing since the 1980s.They are making promotional appearances for the song.“We’re trying to get the song out to as many people as we can,” said John. “I’m in the process of putting a band together so we can promote it.”The Turner Brothers collaborate with a wide range of vocalists, depending, they say, onwho they need for their latest track. Singers have included BabyFace, Cameo, the IsleyBrothers, Jimi Hendrick and Stevie Wonder.Make sure to stay connected to The Turner Brothers on all platforms for new music,videos, and social posts.“I’ll Always” on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqj0yjeE2DE&list=RDnqj0yjeE2DE&start_radio=1&ab_channel=TheTurnerBrothers-TopicSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3LMdf1PG5zUp1KCr5MleH1YouTube:Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
