Gunning for greater success, Sease recorded a self-titled LP in 1986 featuring one of his most popular songs, 'Ghetto Man,' and began working the South's so-called chitlin circuit of ghetto bars, rural juke joints, and blues festivals. When this venture failed, Sease began singing to pre-recorded backing tracks at local dances and clubs, self-released several 45s, and eventually scored a regular gig at a Brooklyn nightspot called the Casablanca. Preferring R&B, though, Sease put together a backing band (called Sease) featuring his three brothers.
