Three piece soul vocal group formed in the mid-80's by songwriter David Townsend (son of singer/songwriter Ed Townsend (Marvin Gaye &Let's Get It On&)), multi-instrumentalist David “Pic” Conley and singer/songwriter/lead vocalist Bernard Jackson.
Originally staff writers for EMI providing songs for Gwen Guthrie and Sister Sledge, they charted in 1987 with “Happy,” from their debut album &Surface&. Further hits and a second album &2nd Wave& followed in 1990. 1991 saw the release of &3 Deep& and a greatest hits complilation &A Nice Time for Lovin'& in 1992. Townsend and Conley concentrated on songwriting after this but the group returned with &Love Zone& (1998). They announced a reunion tour for Summer 2005 and the recording of a new album. Sadly, David Townsend died on October 29, 2005 at age 50 before the album was completed.
