YARBROUGH
& PEOPLES first set airwaves alight when their futuristic hit,
Don’t Stop The Music shot to #1 on the R&B charts. Following the
success of their first single they recorded numerous hit singles on
Total Experience Records throughout the 80’s.
YARBROUGH & PEOPLES consisted of childhood friends Cavin Yarbrough
and Alisa Peoples. Cavin Yarbrough started as a singer and keyboardist
for a group called Grand Theft and one night at a gig, the Wilson
brothers, founders of The GAP Band, were in the audience and offered
Cavin a job as a background singer on the Leon Russell tour they were a
part of. Soon after returning to Dallas, Alisa Peoples sang with Grand
Theft and once again at a gig in Dallas, The Gap Band, now signed to
Total Experience Records, introduced them to label owner and producer,
Lonnie Simmons. The Result of this introduction? Four hit albums and
numerous hit singles until the labels demise in the late 80s.
