Wonder B: I didn't even know you were familiar with Phyrework until I logged in to YouTube and saw your post. These guys [[particularly guitarist Willie and bassist Lamar) were friends of mine and I used to hang out/assist at their rehearsals and attend all their local gigs. They were a fantastic band !! Producer Patrick ??? had them come to NY to check them out...but he ultimately wanted to sign just the rhythm section. They would NOT go that route because they had ben together for so long & refused to leave their band mates behind. ConFunkShun got them a deal with Mercury and produced them...but the label refused to spend a dime on promotion and the album failed to sell well outside of their local [[Dallas/Fort Worth) market. Having just a 1 shot deal with Mercury and label mates ConFunkShun, The BarKays, & others having a tough time themselves....they soon [[unfortunately) called it quits.
