- Comment I found one news article behind a paywall, and a couple places to buy their CD, but that is pretty slim pickin's. Dennis Brown (talk) 16:05, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Online sources from the '70s are not easy to find, but this band (later known as Jimmy Briscoe & the Beavers) had some notability in soul/disco circles, although they never really hit big nationally. Their Allmusic bio is here.[1] Their first album was a Billboard top album pick in 1974.[2]. "My Ebony Princess" gets a mention in a 2006 profile in The New Yorker of Ghostface Killah.[3] --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:40, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Google news archive search for "Jimmy Briscoe" AND "Beavers" [4] and six results appear. The Baltimore Afro-American does an article on them at The Little Beavers .Keep Moving Up!. Some other coverage looks valid as well. Dream Focus 10:49, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
