The Brooklyn, Bronx & Queens Band - Starlette b/w I´ll Cut You Loose (1981) - single

B. B. & Q. Band (which stands for the Brooklyn, Bronx, and Queens Band), was an American post-disco/funk band, which formed in 1981 and disbanded in 1986. The B. B. & Q. Band was a studio concept created in 1981 by the businessman, Jacques Fred Petrus. After the success with Change in 1980, and also with Macho and the Peter Jacques band in the late 1970s Petrus and his close co-worker, Italian Mauro Malavasi decided to launch a new project, named after the three boroughs in New York that the band "members" came from. Fred Petrus pulled several musicians together of which New York session bassist Paris Ford(credited as Peewee Ford) and his musicians became the band.
The self-titled debut album on Capitol from 1981 provided several melodies of which Malavasi wrote all except one. “Starlette” was the first single taken from this album.
