Об исполнителе:
During the summer of 1982 French producer Jacques Fred Petrus and his Italian companion Mauro Malavasi released a string of R&B albums by Change, Ritchie Family, High Fashion, B.B.&Q. Band and Zinc. Zinc wasn’t a real group but another studio creation fabricated by Jacques Fred Petrus & Mauro Malavasi. The studio concept was composed of American and Italian session musicians led by producer/arranger Malavasi. Key member of this project was Davide Romani. Lead singer Gordon Grody fronted Zinc. Grody is a renown backing vocalist who has recorded with many Soul and Rock artists like Debbie Harry, George Benson, David Bowie, Steely Dan, Patti Austin, Luther Vandross and Talking Heads. He also provided vocals for the J.F. Petrus projects Macho and Silence. Despite the suitable Jive label and a lineup of musicians, the Zinc undertaking was not a commercial peak and proved that the target market didn’t bite.
