Peter Brown was a bit of a pioneer, although few would credit him as such. He was one of the first musicians to record the bulk of his music from home, a definite rarity in the 70s. Blessed with the talent to play multiple instruments, Brown laid down the tracks that helped him get signed to TK Records' Drive label in 1977. His disco-funk jams include "Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me," "Dance With Me" and "Crank It Up." "Funky" was the first platinum 12-inch single in history, which gives you an indication of how popular he was. After TK folded, he recorded for Columbia without much success.
