Pleasure

Pleasure were formed in Portland,Oregon in the early seventies where they fused soul,funk and jazz to great effect in which they became quite a cult underground group on the black music scene leading into the late seventies."Joyous" was released from the same titled album in 1977 on Fantasy Inc Records and was produced by Wayne Henderson and written by keyboard player and vocalist Michael Hepburn.Working with Wayne Henderson another few albums were released 'Dust Yourself Off' in 1975,'Accept No Substitutes' in 1976 and 'Get To The Feeling' in 1978 until the band started producing their own with 'Future Now' in 1979 and 'Special Things' in 1980 and their last on RCA in 1981 called 'Give It Up' where the group broke up soon after.A very funky group and here you get the sublime talents of master of the edits DJ Harvey extending the original into a 10 min plus dancefloor bomb.
