Cornelius Oliphant - It's Your Turn To Cry (Knockout Records 1986)

Cornelius Oliphant

Born in Jamaica, Cornelius Oliphant moved to Florida where he started working as an entertainer
on a cruiseship in 1970. After working as a waiter he founded his own 'Knockout' label on which he released
at least 4 maxi singles throughout the 80's. 'It's Your Turn To Cry' from 1986 is the most beautiful and extremely
indemand. Other recordings are 'U Turn My Life Around' from 1985, 'Take My Advice'/'You Are My Dream Come True'
from 1987 and his last single from 1991, the brilliant 'I Love You' , which although a 90's production, has a very 80's
feel to it. It seems that by the time of 1986, Cornelius had changed his artist name into 'Cornilius' for some reason, only
to re-use Cornelius again for upcoming records. Unfortunately, Cornelius Oliphant never released an LP.
