Prose and Cons

Prose and Cons by Len Barry is Performance Art in Print, a visual representation of the harmony and discord, the consensus, compromise, and conflict of a soul always in tune and in step with Truth - a truth that bona fide creativity always tells…even if those closest to him could not comprehend it at the time and often misunderstood it and him. Prose and Cons is part oil on the roiled waters of social justice, part fire in the belly of true civil rights struggles, and part autobiography of a man who has lived through it all. And, as he tell you to do, he follows his own advice: Question Everything.At 17, Barry went on tour with James Brown. He was the only white performer, but that’s how funkalisciously good he was with Soul, especially the Philly Soul sound. Lead singer of The Dovells, a legendary Doo Wop group in the early 1960s that led the American invasion of Britain, his solo act included several hits.
