Biography

Soul - funk - disco - boogie band Formed in 1978, Annapolis, Maryland under the groupname "Lycindiana", which name was a combination of three related females. Comprised of four brothers [a=Ernesto Phillips], [a=Orlando Phillips], [a=George Phillips] and [a=Gregory Phillips] and their friend from the late 60's [a=Ky Adeyemo], plus [a=Ernesto Phillips] long time lover, singer [a=Renee Diggs]. They released ten albums in the 80's, produced mainly by [a=Lionel Job]. Their biggest hit (their sole top 40 hit in the U.S. pop chart) is [i]"Object Of My Desire"[/i] A little History: The Washington based band The brothers started off as a horn section as youngsters, but found it difficult to form a band with two trumpets, one clarinet and a flute. So they learnt more conventional instruments. "Our father was a psychiatrist at Crownsville State Mental hospital and he'd get us to entertain the patients. So we had a captive audience!" It was at one of those shows that the brothers met Renee. Brother George persuaded her all girl singing trio to join the brothers on stage. Ernesto explains: "A friend of ours was working on his car and he asked for a starpoint screwdriver. We asked him what he meant. He said ? You know the one that goes into a point and if you look at it endways looks like a star'. We knew he meant a Phillips screwdriver. Since we are the Phillips brothers, we tossed the name around a bit and attached a meaning to it. It basically says that "if you give your all and point the your way to the stars, you'll make it to the top".
