Freedom – Farther Than Imagination.
1970s-1980s soul group from Jackson, Mississippi.
Founded by Victor Mason, Caleb Armstrong and Ray Smith in 1976 while they were students at Jackson State.
Signed up by Malaco Records,
Freedom hit the radio stations and clubs in NYC with their second single "Get Up and Dance" from their debut album Farther Than Imagination in 1979.
The track immediately found its way into the old school hip-hop community as being one of the key samples used by the DJ's like Grandmaster Flash, Darryl Calloway (DJ Darryl C) of The Crash Crew, just to name a few (the song was also covered by West Street Mob in 1981).
"Dance Sing Along" was a minor hit from the same album.
The group released three more albums into the 80's, however without success.
They slowly dissolved in the mid-80's after the percussionist and falsetto vocal Joe Leslie Short was tragically killed in 1981.
