My friends, at the risk of losing my head I must say it. I did not quite get
the same feeling you all are talking about. Especially, not from Prince Obi
Osadebe. King Sunny Ade was a shadow of his previous appearance at the
Barrymore. Oh, Prince Osadebe- his music was too long and repetitive.
Moreover, he was almost repeating his father's music, who wasn't a king by
the way. I wonder where he gets the Prince from. Perhaps because we have a
king Sunny Ade, therefore, we must have a prine Obi Osadebe. Gimme a break!
He lacked they originality in his father's music. But the company was good
and I must confess, if they come around again I will be there.
