BARRINGTON HENDERSON TALKS TO JUST SOUL FOR AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Recently Tracey Cope of the website Just Soul sat down for an exclusive interview with former Temptations Member Barrington Henderson.
Barrington Scott Henderson (Bo as he is affectionately known) is a solo artist who has been in renowned groups such as the Dramatics, Lakeside and the Temptations.
TRACEY: Hi Bo, may I first of all thank you for giving Just Soul this interview. It is a pleasure for me to interview someone with such a smooth, romantic, soulful voice - umn! You were born in Washington and raised in LA. Where are you currently living?
BARRINGTON: Las Vegas, NV.
TRACEY: On your website it says the words ‘Keep learning, loving and listening’. I’d like the readers of Just Soul to learn a little bit about Barrington Scott Henderson. Please tell me a little about yourself. Are you married? Do you have a family of your own? Can you tell me what you are like as a person?
BARRINGTON: No, I am not married - happily divorced - and yes I do have a family. I am complex, but as down to earth as they come.
TRACEY: You have a very British sounding name. Where does your name originate?
BARRINGTON: My dear grandmother (bless her heart) gave me my first name and my mother gave me my middle name.
TRACEY: Are you feeling loved in 2006 or in need of a bit of love?
BARRINGTON: Yes, I’m in need of love - universally speaking.
TRACEY: You have recorded with people like Roy Ayers, Spyro Gyra & Denise Williams. Any plans in the near future to record with anyone else?
BARRINGTON: I’m open for it - anything is possible.
TRACEY: Your mother, Joyce, was a jazz vocalist. This must have made a big impression on you as you were growing up. Was anyone else in your family musical?
BARRINGTON: My stepfather - James Vaughn was a jazz pianist.
TRACEY: Your professional career started in the 80’s. How did that come about? What gave you your first breakthrough into the music world?
BARRINGTON: My first breakthrough came (which started my professional career) through a management contact to work with the Dramatics.
TRACEY: What is the one thing you value most in life?
BARRINGTON: God!
TRACEY: As a member of the Temptations from 1998-2003, what was the temptation in becoming a solo artist?
BARRINGTON: Having full expression of my music.
TRACEY: With being in three groups previously (The Dramatics, Lakeside and the Temptations) and having the company of the other guys, how does it feel to be a solo performer?
BARRINGTON: It’s challenging, but free - again having full expression is what I appreciate.
TRACEY: What do you enjoy doing in your spare time, which hobbies do you have? Do you play any basketball?
BARRINGTON: Writing songs - shooting pool is a hobby and yes I do play basketball.
TRACEY: Tell me a little bit about your solo album "Best Kept Secret"? Do you have a favourite track from the album?
BARRINGTON: ‘Sorry’ would be my favourite track from Best Kept Secret.
TRACEY: So, what is the secret, or shortly to be - the ex-secret (he, he)?
BARRINGTON: My song writing and producing abilities.
TRACEY: What/who makes you laugh?
BARRINGTON: I make myself laugh.
TRACEY: Paella or Pizza? Red Wine or Beer?
BARRINGTON: Pizza - Light Beer.
TRACEY: Bo, you are a singer, performer, writer and producer. Where do you find the inspiration for all your creativity? Is it something, which comes naturally to you?
BARRINGTON: I get my inspiration from Life.
TRACEY: Thank you for completing this interview and I wish you continued success for the years ahead. From our little part of the universe here at Just Soul, I hope you are feeling the love we feel for you & your music.
