A '70s soul/funk ensemble from the Windy City of Chicago, were the brainchildren of session musician Martin Dumas Jr. Dumas formed the group, originally an eight-piece, out of fellow session regulars from the city during early 1970. They signed to the Cotillion label and released a self-titled album in 1971. For whatever reasons the band didn't stick together and gradually half of their members had left by the time they recorded their second album for Gemigo, a subsidiary of Curtis Mayfield's Curtom imprint. The remaining quartet of Dumas, Ernest Frank Donaldson, Bruce Butler, and Paul Coleman, shed the possessive of their band name and released another self-titled album, in 1974.
