THE B.B.& Q BAND DREAMER


B. B. & Q. Band (which stands for the Brooklyn, Bronx, and Queens Band), was an American disco/funk group, who were created in 1981 and disbanded in 1986. By 1985 Petrus had fixed a contract with Elektra Records and B. B. & Q. Band was back on track with their last album Genie, including minor hits like the title track "Genie" and "Dreamer". Kae Williams, a former Breakwater member hired by Petrus, wrote all tracks and co-produced the LP in conjunction with Petrus. The album also showed early examples of Curtis Hairston's fine voice when Petrus invited him to be the new lead singer. The album sold rather well, especially in Europe, but in 1986 the B. B. & Q. Band disappeared forever when Petrus was murdered.
