Bailey's expertise led DB to getting a good feel with regards to their vocals and the experience was something the band might have taken years to improve. Bailey helped the group tremendously with vocal arrangements, which is probably why the group were noted in this area. Gaye, however, got sick during the recording sessions and had to back out of the duties and Harris requested and got Philip Bailey (great vocalist of Earth, Wind & Fire and Christian solo artist), who was the first producer for the first album, Kinsman Dazz and co-produced the second one, Dazz. to record for producer Marvin Gaye after landing a deal with 20th Century Records exec Joe Lewis. Brick's music is very positive and what I like to call "happy." Still a lot of people missed out on the talented Atlanta group (Brick) thinking the Dazz Band had come out with that tune.
Dazz stood for danceable jazz, and had no connection whatsoever to the incredible song by Brick as DB hadn't changed its name before the No. Telefunk eventually became Kinsman Dazz, Kinsman being the name of the street Harris grew up on in Cleveland. (drums), his brother Michael Wiley (bass), Michael Calhoun (guitar) and Kenny Pettus (percussionist/vocalist). The Dazz Band came about when founder Bobby Harris (sax, clarinet, background vocals) formed a fusion group entitled Telefunk, which featured Isaac "Ike" Wiley, Jr.
