Formed way back in 1964, its original members include twin brothers, Wallace “Scotty” and Walter Scott, Gordy Harmon, Marcus Hutson and Nicholas Caldwell. Harmon’s injury resulting from a car accident in 1973, prompted his exit from the group and was replaced by former Friends of Distinction member Leaveil Degree. From the 70s to the 80s, their hit singles and albums were constant fixtures on the Billboard charts; these include their classic hits such as “And the Beat Goes On / “Can You Do the Boogie” / “Out the Box”, “Rock Steady”, “Lady” , “Lost and Turned Out”, and many more.
Stephanie Mills literally grew up right before our very eyes, starting her career at the age of 9, in the broadway musical ‘Maggie Flynn’. Then, her stellar performance of the song “Home” as Dorothy in ‘The Wiz’, with an all-star cast which include Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, became her anthemic signature performance . She was touted as ‘the little girl with a big voice’. As she stepped into her teens and early 20s, she also had her taste of Top 40 hit singles and albums. Her landmark hits include “I Have Learned To Respect The Power Of Love,” “Home” “Never Knew Love Like This Before”, and “Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin”. She has received several Grammy, Tony, and American Music awards.
