Brandye

Click below for a Brandye sample:

Brandye was a trio best known for providing the backing vocals for Millie Jackson (“A Moment’s Pleasure”), James Brown (“Too Funky In Here”), and Dennis Coffey (“Our Love Goes On”). The members were Donna Davis, Cynthia Douglas and Pam Vincent and they seemed to do the bulk of their work on Brad Shapiro productions.

In the disco craze, when so many session singers had ample chances for work, they got their own deal and recorded Crossover To Brandye. The album didn’t generate any chart hits, but is respected among soul collectors for the underground dance groove “Rhythm Of Love” and “Curiosity.”
