Vocalist/instrumentalist Randy Muller was at the helm of two pivotal East Coast funk and disco aggregations in the 70s and 80s. One was Brass Construction; the other was Skyy. Muller, a vocalist and instrumentalist who doubled on keyboards and flute, organized the band with drummer Larry Payton, trumpeters Wayne Parris and Morris Price, lead guitarist Joe Arthur, vocalist/conga player Sandy Billups, saxophonists Michael Grudge and Jesse Ward, and bassist Wade Williamston. Their 1975 debut, produced by Jeff Lane, went platinum and contained two dancefloor anthems in Moving and Changin. Brass Construction II, III, IV, and V mined the same territory, though only the single 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 moved 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, but couldnt regain their past momentum. The groups vintage hits were remixed and reissued internationally by EMIs Syncopate label in the late 80s, and Brass Construction reappeared on Englands charts in 1988.
