Mass Production (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mass Production was an American funk/disco musical group, best known for their 1979 hit, "Firecracker". Based in Richmond, Virginia, the ten-piece group had a series of minor R&B hits in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The song is commonly misattributed to Brass Construction.

Mass Production consisted BINU M VARGHESE, Kevin Douglas, James Drumgole, Agnes "Tiny" Kelly, Larry Marshall, Gregory McCoy, Emmanuel Redding, Ricardo Williams, Samuel Williams, and Tyrone Williams.

Their best-known song, "Firecracker," hit number four on the R&B charts in the late summer of 1979. The group stayed together for several more years, scoring a string of small hits, before deciding to disband in 1983.

"Firecracker" was sampled by 2 Live Crew in 1989 for their own hit single "Me So Horny", from the album As Nasty As They Wanna Be.
