Subway Story[edit]
The story may be PR, but it appears in this 1993 article in The New York Times [1] , where Eddie says he was on the NT subway in 1990 and noticed Charles holding a vinyl copy of Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man". That led to conversation, then later to singing together.
The story about Charles & Eddie meeting on a Subway isn't true. As Charles writes on his MySpace:
"He signed me right then and a few weeks later introduced me to Charles a great Marvin Gaye like soul singer that they had in developement. We formed a duo (ala Sam and Dave) and wrote the Charles & Eddie Duophonic record over the next 6 weeks (we told the press we met on a NYC subway train so that we'd have a good story to tell)." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.2.242.18 (talk) 21:35, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Agreed, links/refs not available to me (I did search), but I did read that the 'subway meeting' story was just PR nonsense. I'm removing that pending a ref stating otherwise. Some poor writing, poor grammar and unencyclopedic terms here also. Polyamorous Affair did release an album in 2009, but 'critically acclaimed' is not an accurate description of its reception. I'll have a go at it. Centrepull (talk) 20:37, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
