Three 2 Go Music Alliance Releases New CD Single “Friends First”

Three 2 Go Music Alliance Releases New CD Single “Friends First”

Featuring Legendary Entertainer, Lance Diamond

“Friends First” is a smooth new R&B single from Three 2 Go Music Alliance. Ronald Walker, founder of Three 2 Go Music and president of the Three 2 Go Alliance, wrote the songfor Buffalo Music Hall of Fame inductee Lance Diamond.

Lance Diamond is a dynamic entertainment legend and international recording artist from Western New York. Known for his high powered shows and masterful entertainment skills, his performances throughout Western New York and Buffalo cross all age groups - many of whom continue to enjoy his weekly appearances at the Elmwood Lounge (now Milkie’s). Lance’s last released album was the 2004 Christmas Album, “A Lance Diamond Christmas.”

“Friends First” is an old-fashioned song that tells the story of how love unfolds. Lance combined his extraordinary talent with international vocalist Melissa Kate to record a beautiful musical arrangement. This sensual duet is reminiscent of classic duets like “Endless Love” that will touch the hearts of many, and create memories for a lifetime.

A special note and request: The sister of Lance Diamond (who does not wished to be named), is struggling with ALS.She has asked that partial proceeds from the sales of the CD “Friends First” be donated to a local ALS foundation. We wish to respect her privacy but hope you will support our endeavors.

What is ALS? ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease." It is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to death.

The CD is available online now at CDBaby.com, and taylormadejazz.com. Physical CDs are available starting June 17th at the following locations: Doris Records in Buffalo, NY, Nelson’s Hair Salon in Niagara Falls, NY (1326 Portage Road), Record Theater, and in select shops throughout Western New York.Beginning July 1, 2013 it will be available on I-Tunes and via various online media.

Join us in spreading the word and supporting not only a great cause, but a great entertainer. Thank you for your support.
