The top early Chicago house group and the first outlet for the production genius of
Larry Heard,
Fingers Inc. was formed in 1985 by
Heard with vocalists
Robert Owens and Ron Wilson. Though the group often took a sideline to
Heard's solo jaunts as
Mr. Fingers, at their best they rivalled
Ten City with expressive club gems like "You're Mine," "It's Over" and "A Love of My Own." The group also spawned the first (and some say best) house LP, 1988's
Another Side. That album was basically the end of
Fingers Inc., though;
Heard produced singles by
Owens and Wilson, but then moved on to a solo career by the end of the decade. ~ John Bush
