Electricity (Petko Turner's Dance Edit)Free DL

Midnight Star - Electricity (Petko Turner's Dance Edit) The group
was formed in 1976 at Kentucky State University by trumpeter Reggie
Calloway, vocalist Belinda Lipscomb, guitarist/drummer/vocalist
Melvin Gentry, bassist Kenneth Gant, multi-instrumentalist Bill
Simmons, keyboard player/vocalist Bo Watson and
guitarist/keyboardist Jeff Cooper, as a self-contained group. They
later added non-KSU student trombonist Vincent Calloway (Reginald's
younger brother). A 1978 New York City showcase inspired SOLAR
Records chief Dick Griffey to sign the group. They released their
debut album The Beginning (1980) with some guest studio musicians.
In 1981 their second album, released on Solar Records, Standing
Together, reached position #54 on the U.S. R&B chart. In 1982
they released a third album, Victory. Using elected band leader
Reggie Calloway's production skills, Midnight Star hit the U.S.
R&B chart with early singles "Hot Spot" and "I've Been Watching
You". Drummer Bobby Lovelace joined the group in late 1982, freeing
Gentry to sing and play guitar exclusively. Their fourth album, No
Parking on the Dance Floor, was released in 1983, and its first
single, "Freak-A-Zoid", went to number two on the U.S. Black
Singles chart. Other singles from the album included "Wet My
Whistle", and the title track. These singles, along with the hit
album tracks "Slow Jam" (co-written by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds)
and "Electricity" led the album to double platinum status. Their
next album, Planetary Invasion also went platinum and made the pop
Top 20 and the number one spot on the R&B chart with its first
single, "Operator". This song remains the band's only Billboard Hot
100 Top 40 hit to date. In 1985, Kool & the Gang, Midnight
Star, Shalamar and Klymaxx performed at the Marriott Convention
Center in Oklahoma City. The band continued on to concerts in San
Antonio and Little Rock.[1] Then in 1986 the band released their
sixth album, Headlines, which was their third album to sell at
least gold. It was to be their last with the Calloway brothers. Due
to irreconcilable differences with the other members, Reggie was
out of the group and Vincent left shortly thereafter. They achieved
their biggest success in the UK with "Midas Touch", which made #8,
and "Headlines", a #16 hit earlier the same year.[2] Without the
Calloways (who formed the group Calloway and release an album that
spawned the 1990 hit single "I Wanna Be Rich"), Midnight Star
recorded two more albums, the self-titled Midnight Star and Work It
Out. These two albums proved not as successful as their previous
three releases, but the singles "Don't Rock the Boat" and "Snake in
the Grass" did reach the top ten on the R&B singles chart. The
group went on a long hiatus, though they never officially broke up.
The group reunited in 2000 with many of the original members
(including all of the singers) and released the album 15th Avenue
two years later. Since then, the group has toured sporadically,
most recently with a lineup that includes Belinda Lipscomb, Kenneth
Gant, Melvin Gentry, Bo Watson, and Bobby Lovelace, with Bill
Simmons sometimes joining as well.
