NIET MEER LEVERBAAR !

Platypus was among many funk-based acts to emerge
from Dayton, Ohio in the 1970s, along with the Ohio
Players, Heatwave, Slave, and Lakeside. Their style was
specifically influenced by progressive rock, earning
compliments from Rick Wakeman of Yes. The group's fans
in Japan defined their sound as "between rock and soul."

Group member Arthur Stokes co-wrote ‘What Goes
Around Comes Around’ for Michael Jackson's Ben (1972)
album and ‘I'm Glad It Rained’ for The Jackson Five.
Upon moving to Los Angeles in the mid-'70s, members of
Platypus worked with Motown producer Hal Davis and
contributed to sessions for Thelma Houston, The 5th
Dimension, and Diana Ross. Platypus was mentored by
Roberta Flack after she saw the group headline at The
Bottom Line in Osaka, Japan. She teamed them with
producers James Mtume and Reggie Lucas, who co-wrote
‘Dance If You Can’ with Platypus just before their work
on Stephanie Mills' 20th Century Fox debut album.

STREET BABIES and DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT were
the two songs that earned Platypus an artist/producer
recording contract with Casablanca Records. DANCING IN
THE MOONLIGHT was released as a single and later
selected as a key track in Casablanca Records: Play It
Again (2009), an oral history celebrating the 35th
anniversary of Casablanca.

Released in deluxe Super Jewel cases, with bonus tracks
and brand new exclusive interviews with all four
surviving original members, PLATYPUS is a must for all
Soul, Funk and Disco and Rock fans out there!
