THE EXOUTICS - BMHOF CLASS OF 2011

Evolving from a five member vocal group named “The Exotics” which disbanded in 1971 leaving the musicians to continue they became the Exoutics, a group which is now the longest performing R&B/Soul group in Buffalo. They charted a regional hit “Here We Go Again” in the early days. The self-contained band followed that release with their first LP“The Exoutic Touch”. The Exoutic Touch had limited success domestically however it was welcomed warmly in Japan. The Exoutics then released 
their most successful song “Springtime Love” in March of 1981 the song (Springtime Love) reached #2 on WNY R&B charts and received national airplay. The group toured throughout WNY and southern Canada. 

They were signed to a recording contract in the mid 90’s releasing ”Lies” and “Love Don’t Come Easy” under the name “PARADYME” which was a more polished R&B sound, a departure from the raw soul of the Exoutics. Their CD release “Anything You Want” – Old School Funk, Love, & Soul as The Exoutics was the last recording. The Exoutics have morphed into E-Life 7 (which stands for “Enjoy Life 7 Days a Week) to explore their jazz and R&B roots. They continue to support community improvement efforts including the African American Veterans Monument effort and others. E-Life 7 / Exoutics for life.
