Not only was I huge fan in the 1980s of the 12" singles from The Search Is Over...I still listen to them with fair regularity! They are timeless. The songs are incredible, and the sound quality is pristine -- sound quality that's very difficult to come by these days. I also have the 12" singles "The Rock" and "Freedom," which were disappointing in comparison. This informative article reveals the story why. So sad.

This article is absolutely amazing. I'm speechless. Tramaine's music impacted my youth and young adulthood back in the 80's. Little did I know of the price she paid for her journey. It's interesting that you would note that she was and sometimes still is, considered a radical. But it's in her bloodline, she can't help it. Her grandfather, Bishop E.E. Cleveland and her aunt, Bishop Ernestine Rheems were radicals in the Pentecostal Church.
