About Curtis Kendrick

The words of the famous “Little Drummer Boy” written by Katherine K. Davis, Henry Onorati and Harry Simeone seem to capture the essence of who Curtis is, “Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum, On my drum.”

So blessed to have something released from my younger years starting off as a new Recording Artist. This song features my childhood band-mates, Kirby Brown and Tyrone Coley. Thanks to Prime Time Records for keeping the memories alive on Vinyl
Heartbeat is the work of Curtis L. Kendrick, a Rochester-based artist that wore all the hats in conceptualizing and producing his debut solo album, 3rd Degree, released in a 200 cassette run in 1982. Considered somewhat of a holy grail in the collecting world, Prime Time proudly releases the first single off Curtis' forthcoming LP.
Thank you all for the encouraging messages, it really means a lot. I performed my first debut vocal concert a couple weeks ago, and I wanted to share this with you all.
God bless you!
