MOTOWNレーベルのFUNKグループ。初期は、初期はインスト中心であったが、2枚目からMicheal Love Smithをプロデューサーに向かえボーカルも充実し、その後の2作を含めた3枚は非常に良質なので、是非聴いて欲しい。しかし、時代の流れか、最後のアルバムではFUNKを捨ててしまう。無念・・・。
ALBUM
１． WALK ON ☆☆
１９８０年発表。インスト中心の凡作。
２．JUMP ON IT ☆☆☆☆
１９８１年発表。ボーカルも充実し、最高の出来。
３．SEND IT ☆☆☆☆
１９８１年発表。前作にも劣らないFUNKの充実したナイスなアルバム。
４．LI’L SUZY ☆☆☆☆
１９８２年発表。ホーンセクションがたまらない1枚。
１９８３年発表。FUNKを捨てた駄作。MICHEAL STORKESのプロデュースなのだが・・
