Players association

Players association

The Players Association were a Vanguard Records studio group put together by Chris Hills and Danny Weiss in 1977.

Players Association recordings brought in top session players like Larry Coryell, Joe Farrell, David Sanborn, Mtume, Mike Mandel and others.

While writing some of their own songs, the group mainly focused on covers of soul, funk and disco tunes. Their two biggest hits were Disco Inferno, a cover of The Trammps tune, and Turn The Music Up.

Disco Inferno was a big underground club hit in the US and the UK, most notable for the piercing solo from David Sanborn.

After three albums from 1977 to 1980, the association ended.
