The Rhythm Makers ~ Zone 1976 Soul Purrfection

The Rhythm Makers were the second incarnation of the band that would eventually get their own million selling disco song in "Disco Nights" as GQ.

Before they morphed, songs like "Soul On Your Side" was an early version of "Disco Nights" and the stone cold classic club tune "Zone" a percussive electronic dance tune.

They first formed in 1968 as Sabu & the Survivors in the Bronx, NY. By the time the 70's arrived, they had renamed themselves The Rhythm Makers with members Keith Crier, Kenny Banks and Herb Lane. 1976 saw "Soul On Your Side" issued as a single but it was "Zone" that caught the attention of DJ's and club goers. Banks left and was replaced by Paul Service when their manager suggested they adopt a new name Good Quality or GQ for short.

They went on to disco fame with Disco Nights from their first album as GQ that stormed the pop charts all over the world but soon cast changes led to recordings that were met with diminishing returns and were still performing as of 2010.

Keith Crier was the uncle of Keith Sweat.
