The formation of SKYY began in Brooklyn, NY in 1973 when
sisters Denise, Bonnie and Dolores Dunning met and joined forces
with a musician by the name of Solomon Roberts Jr. Randy
Muller, keyboardist for Brass Construction and Arranger for B.T.
Express at the time soon joined and by 1976, with Solomon
Roberts taking on male vocal and guitar duties, Anibal Anthony
Sierra also on guitars and keyboards with Larry Greenberg,
Gerald Lebon on bass, and Tommy McConnell on drums, SKYY’s
line up was set for success.

In the late 70’s SKYY landed a deal with the legendary Salsoul Records. SKYY released three albums with some R&B success, but
it wasn’t until the release of SKYY LINE in 1981 that the groupachieved cross over popularity. The album was their biggest Pop
chart placement, climbing all the way to #18 while rocketing to
the top spot on the US R&B chart and later winning a coveted
RIAA Gold Certification.

Single success also followed with the first release, CALL ME, scoring the group a top 40 US Pop hit, climbing all the way to #26. CALL ME went on to become the first R&B #1 single for the
group and made it all the way to #3 on the US Dance charts. LETS CELEBRATE followed and achieved a top 20 R&B position, #3 on the US Dance charts while giving the group their first taste of UK
Pop chart success landing at #67. Other notable tracks include the funky dance-floor filler, GIRL IN BLUE and the island inspired
soul number, GONNA GET IT ON.

BBR is proud to present this fully expanded and newly remastered
edition of SKYY LINE, complete with liner notes
including interviews and added bonus content.

Released in deluxe Super Jewel Cases, this BBR re-master is a
must have for all Soul, Funk and Dance fans out there!
