JM, The Ooh Baby Pamoja is not the same group. The Pgh, Pamoja began in Homewood with brothers Butch (guitar) and Michael (bass) and drummer Alvin Owens they added horns and percussion. The original name was "Upendo Ni Pamoja" (not to be confused with the 1971 Ramsey Lewis recording). They later merged with another band "Rah Herb" and formed Pyrymyd. They released 'Earthquake Shake' which got some airplay in Pgh then moved to LA in the late 70's hoping to make it big. Check Youtube there are a few of their cuts there.
