Tony Hester would pick me up from Mumford High in his Limo! I only thought he wrote music and arranged it l did not know he could sing. Carl Carton (Bad Mam a Juma) would pick up Carla Gordon! Both men were Star’s In Show Business! I was sitting downtown in Lafayette Park with Tony in his Condo when he pinned “The Devil Is Dope”. He was struggling then with Heroin. Year’s after he was gone too soon l found out he never lied👌🏼
I still remember the day I first heard The Devil Is Dope I think it was around 1973 I fell in love with that song and wanted to always put that song in our repertoire but I got out voted by the rest of the group members because they said it wasn't a hit record so our audience probably wouldn't respond to it well but it had a hell of a message to it and of course Weegie was on the lead blasting away like a 150 mm Howitzer cannon
Tony" thanks for "In the rain" I just found this tune your missed gone way to soon ...If only if only... Once again Thanks GOD" for this Brother" he had something Special and he was something special...*** Mr. Tony Hester songwriter... Thanks!

Thank you so much for this information. It brings people we didn't know to life.

I'm not going to lie, but this song makes me want to cry, and I haven't in years.
The group is out of Bloomington Indiana! Home boys!
Hope his estate receiving royalties from his legacy of work.
Yes sir he laid it down. I hope so too...
