There are three artists with this name, one is an rnb group and the other is a punk rock band.

1. This Birmingham, Alabama-based quartet commenced the establishment of their musical reputations in the late seventies. Originally part of an eight member gospel group they were down to just four by the time they entered junior high school. Their local notoriety in and around the Birmingham area led to their introduction to Cleve Eaton, bassist for the Ramsey Lewis Trio. Under Eaton’s guidance “The Soul Controllers” as they were then called, recorded their first single, called “Right On Brother, Right On”. It became a regional hit while they were still attending Fairfield High School.
