Show-n-Prove: Harmonious Monks Cover The Internet - "Special Affair"

For those of you who read this blog, what would normally be a "Friday Night Throwback" in this space, will now be "Show-n-Prove Friday". This weekly slot will serve as an opportunity to showcase new and talented unsigned artists covering some of our favorite R&B jams. Selections will be based on the quality of the cover and presentation of the clip (it would also help if you wrote a couple of sentences about yourself, along with contact info, so we can let our readers know who you are).

For anyone interested in a chance to have their cover seen on this blog, please feel free to email your video to me at: sage1924@aol.com.

Starting next week "Friday Night Throwback" will be converted to the more appropriate "Thursday Throwback".

This week's Show-n-Prove sees a group by the name of Harmonious Monks covering The Internet's "Special Affair" inside USC music studios.
