Review by mrhands450 Sep 11, 2009
Hello, my name is Marc K. McCreary. I was like St. Clair's son. We lived together many years together in East Point, Ga. and in College Park, Ga. I had the pleasure of knowing him and learning from him many lessons on life and music. I also had the pleasure of writing 2 songs off the first album named "Do you like it"( Suda and Plastic Paradise) and wrote 1 song off the 2nd album named "Private Stock" (Joylife) and I played keyboards on all the songs from the second album. He was a true gentleman, and if God blesses me to live as long as he. I hope and pray that I could be such a gentleman.
God bless St. Clair Pinckney ( Mr. P) You are truly missed!!!
Oh!! Correction St. Clair Pinckney was born on September 17
