Released in 1981, ‘Skyy Line’ is the fourth album by the Brooklyn, NY-based R&B / funk / disco octet SKYY. ‘Skyy Line’ was a high note in the group’s tenure with Salsoul Records, the label having released a total of seven of the group’s albums.

The album, co-produced by group member Solomon Roberts and Randy Muller of Brass Construction fame, climbed to the top of the R&B charts with its cheeky hit “Call Me”, which was written and arranged by Muller/ Both the single and the album were certified gold by the RIAA.

Showcasing the signature vocal harmonies of sisters Denise, Dolores, and Bonné Dunning, couple with the crisp guitar licks of Solomon Roberts, the funk and rock-inspired guitars of Anibal “Booche” Sierra, Gerald Lebon’s classic R&B base thumps, Tommy McConnell’s pulsating drum riffs and Larry Greenberg’s synth and keyboard runs, this fourth LP crystallizes the group’s magic. ‘Skyy Line’ delivers 40 minutes of impeccable party music: equal parts irreverent and unforgettable.

About Salsoul Records:
Established in 1974 by the Cayre Brothers, Salsoul Records quickly earned a reputation for releasing & producing everlasting dance classics. Names such as Joe Bataan, First Choice, and Instant Funk gave the label it’s signature sound – a vibrant combination of salsa, soul & disco music engineered for the dancefloor.

Salsoul had many hits in the 1970s but is historically best-known for releasing the first commercially available 12” (Giant) Single: Double Exposure’s ‘Ten Percent’. Revered by DJs & remixers alike, Salsoul’s catalog became the soundtrack of an emerging – and diverse – scene that embraced technical creativity.

Many of these records have resurfaced in modern samples & remixes: proof of Salsoul’s enduring legacy and it’s crucial role in shaping the sound of dance music.
