Formed in 1978, Annapolis, Maryland under the groupname \»Lycindiana\», which name was a combination of three related females. Comprised of four brothers Ernesto Phillips, Orlando Phillips, George Phillips and Gregory Phillips and their friend from the late 60\’s Ky Adeyemo, plus Ernesto Phillips long lover, singer Renee Diggs.
They released ten albums in the 80\’s, produced mainly by Lionel Job. Their biggest hit (their sole top 40 hit in the U.S. pop chart) is \»Object Of My Desire\»
A little History
The Washington based band
The brothers started off as a horn section as youngsters,
but found it difficult to form a band with two trumpets, one clarinet and a flute.
So they learnt more conventional instruments.
\»Our father was a psychiatrist at Crownsville State Mental hospital and he\’d get us to entertain the patients.
So we had a captive audience!\»
It was at one of those shows that the brothers met Renee.
Brother George persuaded her all girl sig trio to join the brothers on stage.
Ernesto explains
\»A friend of ours was working on his car and he asked for a starpoint screwdriver.
We asked him what he meant. He said
You know the one that goes into a point and if you look at it endways looks like a star\’.
We knew he meant a Phillips screwdriver.
Since we are the Phillips brothers, we tossed the name around a bit and attached a meaning to it.
It basically says that \»if you give your all and point the your way to the stars, you\’ll make it to the top\».
