About Curtis Kendrick
When most young men were playing with toy soldiers and reading comic books, Curtis was captivated by a sound and feeling that would become a driving factor in his life.

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!
