Peter Brown is a name of at least two artists with this name: [1] A USA musician, composer and producer. [2] another USA musician. [[b]1] A USA musician, composer and producer, who first came to fame with the first million-selling 12" dance single, "Do Ya Wanna Get Funky With Me." Brown was a pioneer in home recording, having recorded his seminal hit in his bedroom. Born July 11, 1953 in Blue Island, IL, Brown, started playing drums in his teens and later began experimenting with his four-track reel-to-reel tape recorder in his bedroom studio. The singer/keyboardist/producer was signed to Drive Records, a subsidiary of Henry Stone's TK Records. His first album for the label, A Fantasy Love Affair, was produced by Cory Wade, who had helped Brown get the record deal. The percolating "Do Ya Wanna Get Funky With Me" went to number three R&B, number 18 pop on Billboard's charts in summer 1977. Another Drive LP, Stargazer yielded "Crank It Up (Funk Town), Pt. 1." His 1983 RCA LP, Back to the Front included the charting single, "Baby Gets High." Brown's 1984 Columbia LP, Snap included the sly rock/dance classic "Zie Zie Won't Dance," the dub reggae-sounding "Hot Flash," the driving, swirling horn-laced "Electric Shoes," the dream-like "Double or Nothing," and the pumping single, "They Only Come Out At Night." Contrary to popular belief, Brown is not the same Peter Brown who recorded "Chasing Fireflies" in 1999. Many websites, including Yahoo, have erroneously credited this Pete
