Unlimited Touch

Unlimited Contact was an R&B group with club leanings from Brooklyn. They weren’t disco, plus they weren’t precisely straight-up R&B; like their Prelude labelmates D Teach, Unlimited Touch mixed both forms into what’s also known as post-disco. They loved minor success around the R&B graphs, but they had been embraced even more by DJs — like the Heaven Garage’s Larry Levan — and became among the countless inspirations behind home music. Their singles had been often full-blow tunes, with verses along with a chorus, plus they had been often made out of the dancefloor at heart. The group’s formation was sparked from your attempts of Crown Heights Affair’s William Anderson and Raymond Reid. The sextet — bassist Sandy Anderson, drummer Tony Cintron, guitarist Phil Hamilton, vocalist Stephanie Wayne, keyboardist Lenny Underwood, and vocalist Audrey Wheeler — broke from Prelude in 1980 with “I Listen to Music within the Roads,” an individual that didn’t perform very much commercially but fared far better in U.K. and U.S. night clubs. A small number of additional singles had been issued, like the quantity 29 U.K. graph hit “Searching to get the One,” before the release of the self-titled LP that packed the singles collectively. The less effective Yes I’m Prepared adopted in 1983, as well as the group dissolved soon thereafter. Unidisc would later on concern the Searching to get the One compilation in the first ’90s.
