Whitfield, after a decade at Motown, wanted to start a company of his own. Starr introduced them to Norman Whitfield. In 1973, this collective toured England and Japan behind Motown soul star Edwin Starr.
The group began in the early 1970s, when members of several backup bands from the Watts and Inglewood areas of Los Angeles united under the name Total Concept Unlimited. The Los Angeles-based group comprised Gwen Dickey (vocals), Henry Garner (drums), Terral 'Terry' Santiel (congas), Lequeint 'Duke' Jobe (bass), Michael Moore (saxophone), Kenny Copeland (trumpet, lead vocals), Kenji Brown (guitar, lead vocals), Freddie Dunn (trumpet), and Victor Nix (keyboards).
