Al McKay until 1983 when the group disbanded.DEFAULTSORT:Bautista, Roland I had the pleasure of being in studio with Rolandat the Gwen Gordy studio in Hemet Calif. as a vocalist, and what a treat it was.I found him to be very professional in every way, he made my time there a real pleasure.He had asked myself and the drummer (Tomo Meek) in my band (Millennium Project) tobe a part of a project he was working on. Usually when I'm in the studio it is a longdrawn out process, but with Roland you're in and out with fantastic results thanksto his coming prepared and ready to get down, I hope that we did him proud.Thanks Roland for allowing us to work with one of the greats.
