A WHOLE NEW ERA
Behind Gates Entertainment is proud to present, the debut CD and the first Solo release of Otis Cooper, formerly with Grammy Award winning producer Rafael Saddiq's group Otis and Shugg. "O Cooper" the album, blends an incredible variety of styles in 12 new songs produced by T. Hatter for Behind Gates Entertainment (behindgatesent@aol.com)
Cooper's extensive experience as a vocalist and dexterity on keyboards keeps him in demand in the Bay Area music scene. He has lent his many talents to projects by such notable and diverse artists as Boz Scaggs, Tony, Toni, Tone. E-40 and Too Short.
He and his partner Shugg had the distinction of being invited to perform at the 1st Annual Hip Hop Awards held at the historic Apollo Theater in New York City. His work has also been included in several soundtracks including the 1998 Woo soundtrack as well as the critically acclaimed Blue Hill Avenue.
The ultra smooth sound of the instant classic "Miss You" or the innocent joy of the well known standard "Sunshine" will immediately engage every listener. An interpretation of Bob James's Theme from Taxi takes on a fresh sound with soulful lyrics in "Baby I Love You" and the hit "O Life" featuring Hip-Hop Mogul E-40 is a nostalgic commentary on the decline of community values. His commitment to family values is evident in the track "Marry U" which tells us as long as we keep God first in our lives, we can have it all. This mellow love song is destined to become the premier wedding song for years to come.
O. Cooper keeps himself grounded by regularly accompanying his childhood choir as the Music Director of his local church and volunteering his talents to his children's school productions.

author: Gary FJust picked up the Otis & Shugg, where they referred to this Album, I was so Glad to hear that he was continuing his music career, as we are blessed to know that Artists like him are still giving us REAL MUSIC to listen too. A Solid Solo effort!!
Real Music, Outstanding Work
author: Erykha EdwardsThis is a great project.I have always loved any music song by Uncle (P) Otis. The cd is real and is definatly something to make you nod your head to. Uncle Otis has a voice that makes you tremble whenever you hear him sing. If you have been a follower of his music, you can hear the growth he has made in his music.There isn't one specific song, they all are great. I will definatly be spreading the word that O Cooper is back.
Love your music
author: TeresaHad to give it five stars... This was great production and writing.

When I hear a new artist, another artist usually comes to mind. Listening to this album reminds me of hearing D'Angelo for the first time...
great mixture of vocals tunes that you keep playing over again
author: g codyI found this CD to be one of the best I have heard this year. I found myself playing the CD over and over. I wish more radio stations would play this CD because it has that old school feel, like back in the day when you could sing along with the songs. great CD and I wish them countinuous sucess.
