Vocalist/instrumentalist
Randy Muller was at the helm of two 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,
formed the band with Larry Payton, Wayne Parris, Morris Price, Joe Arthur,
Sandy Billups, Michael Grudge, Jesse Ward, and Wade Williamson. 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 couldn't regain their past momentum.
The group's vintage hits were remixed and reissued internationally by
EMI's Syncopate label in the late '80s, and Brass Construction re-appeared
on England's charts in 1988.
