History
Con Funk Shun formed in Vallejo, California in 1969, when high schoolers Louis A. McCall Sr. (drums) and Michael Cooper (guitar, lead vocals) started a group called Project Soul, drawing inspiration from James Brown and Sly and the Family Stone. By the early 1970s the lineup had grown to seven, adding Felton Pilate, Cedric Martin, Danny Thomas, Karl Fuller, and Paul Harrell, and the band took its funk-inspired new name from a song by the Nite-Liters. After a stint in Memphis backing Stax Records artists, they signed to Mercury Records in 1976 and released eleven albums over the next decade. Four of those albums went gold, and the band scored a run of R&B chart hits, including the number-one single "Ffun" (1978), plus "Chase Me," "Too Tight," and "Electric Lady." The group disbanded in 1986; Felton Pilate later became an in-house producer for M.C. Hammer, and Michael Cooper had solo R&B success with "To Prove My Love." Their song "Love's Train" was covered decades later by Silk Sonic and Bruno Mars, a sign of the band's lasting influence on funk and soul.
