Vocalist/instrumentalist Randy Muller was at the helm of deuce pivotal East Coast funk and disco music aggregations in the '70s and '80s. One was Brass Construction; the other was Skyy. Muller, a vocalizer and instrumentalist world Health Organization two-fold on keyboards and fluting, organised the band with drummer Larry Payton, trumpeters Wayne Parris and Morris Price, lead guitar player Joe Arthur, vocalist/conga thespian Sandy Billups, saxophonists Michael Grudge and Jesse Ward, and bassist Wade Williamston. Their 1975 debut, produced by Jeff Lane, went atomic number 78 and contained iI dancefloor anthems in "Moving" and "Changin." Brass instrument Construction II, Tercet, IV, and V mined the same territory, though only when the undivided "Ha Cha Cha (Funktion)" in 1977 and "L-O-V-E-U" in 1978 came close to attaining similar commercial heights. They recorded for United Artists until 1980, then touched to Liberty and recorded for them until 1983. Muller became their producer in the early '80s, and he shifted their emphasis into a heavily synthesized direction. They continued on Capitol from 1983 to 1985, just couldn't find their past impulse. The group's vintage hits were remixed and reissued internationally by EMI's Syncopate label in the previous '80s, and Brass Construction reappeared on England's charts in 1988.
