A foundational piece of mid-80s New York electro-funk, this 12" on the legendary Prelude Records is a masterclass in production. Released in 1984, "Success" features the heavy, synthesized basslines and crisp 808 percussion that defined the transition from disco to the electronic "boogie" sound. Produced by the powerhouse duo of François Kevorkian and Hubert Eaves III (the architect behind D-Train), this record is a quintessential club classic. The instrumental on the B-side is particularly essential, offering a sparse, hypnotic groove that heavily influenced the development of early hip-hop and house music.
