High Fashion

At the start in 1980 the band contained three members, Eric McClinton, Meli'sa Morgan and Alyson Williams, all vocalists that were picked and employed by Jacques Fred Petrus in New York that gave them a name associated to the fashion business. They had all an interesting musical background. Eric had earlier worked as a vocalist with The Mike Theodore Orchestra in 1979 and Meli'sa as a vocalist on different Kleeer albums and on Shades Of Love's famous funky single in 1982. Alyson, a daughter of the jazz bandleader and trumpet player Bobby Booker, had done some background work as vocalist on several albums by Unlimited Touch, before joining the group.
In 1983 Meli'sa Morgan left the group for a successful solo career and the Jazz vocalist Marcella Allen replaced her position.
