Black Ivory is an American R&B group from Harlem, which had a number of hits in the 1970s, including “Don’t Turn Around”, “You and I” (which featured Larry Blackmon from Cameo on drums), “I’ll Find a Way (The Loneliest Man in Town)”, “Spinning Around”, “What Goes Around (Comes Around)”, “Will We Ever Come Together”, and “Mainline”.

The group recorded several uptempo songs in the disco vein, such as “Big Apple Rock”, “Walking Downtown (On a Saturday Night)”, “What Goes Around (Comes Around)” and, later, “Mainline” but, not being known for the style, they were unable to compete when disco became the dominant music style.
