Skyy's The Limit

Apologies again for the lack of tunes going on around here but the good news is that following a sabbatical in Toronto I've got vinyl spilling out of my kitchen cabinets, and some of it's pretty decent. By the way if you find yourself in Toronto, get yourself to Cosmos Records on Queen Street (if you don't, get on a plane like I did and then get yourself there). Best reason since the Bush administration to get north of the border.

Moving forward though, from my more cosmic than ever record bag I present to you Skyy:

Basically Skyy is what you get when you have a trio of sisters who can sing (Denise, Delores and Bonne Dunning), someone who knows how to produce (Randy Muller, who was also involved with Brass Construction - post coming soon) and then some ace musicians (Solomon Roberts Jr - male vox/guitar, Anibal Anthony Sierra - guitar/keys, Larry Greenberg - more keys, Gerald Lebon - bass, Tommy McConell - drums). Skyy fans knew this from the band's genesis in the late 70's, and then Jamiroquai made sure a new generation of Skyy fans knew this when they included 'Here's To You' from the 1981 Salsoul release Skyyport on their 2003 LateNightTales series effort. Here's to virtual insanity:

Skyy - Here's To You (1981) (buy)

The rest of Skyyport is certainly worth your while, so before I take off I'll leave you with another Skyytune for your iTunes:

Skyy - Super Love (1981) (buy)
