Jonzun Crew was an electro group who carried their spin on
Parliament/
Funkadelic's loopy sci-fi themes throughout the '80s and early '90s for a handful of albums, which included singles like "Pack Jam (Look Out for the OVC)," "Space Is the Place," "Space Cowboy," and "We Are the Jonzun Crew." Florida-born brothers Michael, Soni, and Larry Johnson (better known as
Maurice Starr) formed
Jonzun Crew in Boston in 1981, with Gordy Worthy and
Steve Thorpe filling out the lineup for different stretches of the group's existence.
Starr and Michael would gain further notoriety for helping to bring
New Edition and
New Kids on the Block to the world; Michael (who continued using
Jonzun as his last name) also went solo for a brief period on A&M, in addition to working on several other artists' releases. ~ Andy Kellman
