Fascinating story highlights Tonistics re-release

Our good friend Desiree Cooper of Weekend America recently reported on a story of a vocal group that was formed in the 70s in Dimona, Israel, and its singer, a young boy from Detroit whose mother moved the family to Israel to join the Black Hebrews community there.  The original music by this group, the Tonistics, has been re-released.

He suffered abuse in his new homeland, but Reggie Prim found temporary happiness by joining the Tonistics, a religious vocal group modeled after the Jackson Five.  His story, as reported by Des, is fascinating.
