Biography

American funk and soul group founded in 1964 in Detroit, MI, as [a45004] For 1950s R&B, doo-wop & vocal group, please see: [a=The Counts (14)] The founding members of the group were [a387649] (organ), [a119160] (guitar), and [a388191] (alto saxophone & vocals). Jam sessions with their neighbors [a1143296] (congas) and [a3591780] (tenor sax) attracted [a1077346] (drums). The group never had a full-time bass player, since Davis handled the bass parts with organ foot pedals. Performing mostly instrumentals, the group often backed up various local singers, most notably [a144313], and with the addition of Funk Brothers bassist [a211616], recorded the demo that became Turner's 1968 hit version of "[Link]." The band then hooked up with producer [a386738], recording the R&B hit "Jan Jan" for [a292380]'s Detroit-based [l51281] in 1969. The song was such a big hit in Detroit that Moira's distributor [l9638] rush-released a full-length album "[Link]". The band dropped the 'Fabulous' from their name for their self-produced 1972 album, [Link], for Detroit-based [l11643]. The group then recorded three singles under a pair of pseudonyms for producer [a291832], calling themselves first [a864179] and then [a2286161]. Later they cut two albums for the Atlanta, Georgia-based [l51125], 1973's [Link] and 1975's [Link]. Though both albums made the Billboard R&B charts, the band broke up in 1976.
