My semi-professional music career started with a Dayton, Ohio group named “Record Player.” Record Player was founded in the Summer of 1975.
During this period, Record Player was one of many popular Dayton dance bands, such as the Ohio Players, Faze-O, Slave, Roger and the Human Body (aka Zapp featuring Roger), the Gap Band, and the Honey Bees. All of these bands featured the sounds of Pop, Funk, and Jazz.
In 1976, Record Player recorded the 45RPM Single and Regional Hit, “Free Your Mind” on the Gem City Records Label. Free Your Mind was written by Michael C. Jennings, and arranged by Charles “Cedell” Carter of the group, “Slave.” Listen to an audio sample of “Free Your Mind” in the music section of the MiJen Publishing web site.
