The synth-funk unit Midnight Star scored several times on the charts during the mid-'80s, led by their double-platinum album No Parking On The Dance Floor in 1983. Just one of the successful acts on Solar Records (also including Shalamar, Lakeside, and The Whispers), the group was formed in 1976 at Kentucky State University by the Calloway brothers, trumpeter Reginald, and trombone player Vincent, with vocalist Belinda Lipscomb. After signing with RCA near the turn of the decade, Midnight Star recorded their first album in 1980, The Beginning, with a conglomeration of studio players and producers. After moving to the Solar label by 1982, the group released Victory and then added a full band: guitarist Melvin Gentry, bassist Kenneth Gant, drummer Bobby Lovelace, and keyboard player Bo Watson.
