It happens only once in a lifetime. A group of musicians meet and find a unique chemistry that creates musical magic. In 1984, such a band was formed in Atlanta, GA.
The Tams, who were in need of a dynamic backup band for their legendary show, hand picked this group of players. They became known as 14 KARAT GOLD, and from the first moment they hit the stage, everyone realized that this was something special.
14 KARAT GOLD is a diverse group of talents - a seven-member group with five lead vocalists and a three piece horn section. The band has carefully crafted their songlist to include music from Big Band & standards up to today's favorite hits. Of course, their bread & butter are songs you love from the 60's and 70's - Soul, R&B, Beach Music and even the best of the Disco era. With an infectious back beat perfected by years on the R&B circuit, there's no way you can stay off the dance floor. The one thing that defines this group is; No matter what they choose to play, you absolutely CANNOT SIT STILL! The group is fully self-contained, carrying their own sound & lighting. All you need is a stage!
Band Reviews:
From: Kathy & Jon
"I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful the band was Saturday night! We ended up having around 500 people and they kept us on our feet dancing the whole time. Kathy and John loved them!!! The lead singer was unbelievable!!!!! Thank you for being so good about answering my e-mails, you were great too!! Please make sure to tell 14 Karat Gold how much we all loved them. We told them that night, but it just does not seem enough."
From: J. R. Thornton
"O.C. and his gang did one heck of a job Saturday night. Those guys do know how to “make music”!
Without even one exception, all two dozen or so people who have contacted us thus far to say “Thank you” for the party have commented on how terrific the band was.
To say 14 Karat “was into the party” would be a bit of an understatement.
My thanks to you and Liza for taking care of the details and helping set the mood."

"My wife and I would like to thank 14 Karat Gold for playing at my daughters wedding reception last week. Our guest couldn't believe how great they were. Many friends have called and emailed us about how outstanding the band was. The dance floor stayed packed all night as the band played one hit after another. We couldn't have been more pleased."

" I want you to know how outstanding the band was. O.C. and group got there about 4'ish. He is one super guy and so are the rest of the guys in the band. We had power problems twice and they went the extra mile to get hooked back up to another source. The second time, the video guy, O.C. and me are going up and down the wall with the video guy's spotlight finding another plug and the band members are unwinding extension cords. Professionalism way beyond the norm. I commend them.
And, by the way, their sound was knocking people out. Guests were coming up to me asking, "Where did you get this band? They're the best I've ever heard." Also, people who weren't there for the wedding were going up to the Shop on Sunday asking who was the band.
Bottomline, please tell O.C. again how much I appreciate him.
Thanks"
From: Mr. & Mrs. Jones
"Hats off to 14 Karat Gold! Libby and I could not have been more pleased with your performance. You were absolutely fabulous!
Please share with the other band members our appreciation for your willingness to entertain our picnic guests. Everyone in the crown commented on the awesome entertainment!
Best regards and many, many thanks."
