Macho is an Italian-American disco/R&B studio group. Guadeloupe-born French-Italian businessman Jacques Fred Petrus and Italian musician Mauro Malavasi formed a joint production company called Goody Music Production (GMP) in the mid-1970s. Their first project, in 1978, was called Macho, featuring Italian Marzio Vincenti as lead singer. Their only album was composed of four extended tracks. The band's sole chart success in the United States was an almost 18-minute-long disco cover version of the Spencer Davis Group's 1967 hit "I'm a Man", which was written by Steve Winwood.[1] The track hit top ten on Billboard magazine's Dance chart in October 1978.[citation needed] A edited seven-minute version was also released.
