Universal Togetherness Band

Universal Togetherness Band was a vibrant, yet underappreciated gem in the history of Chicago's music scene. Active during the late 1970s and early 1980s, the band was the embodiment of pure, unbridled funk and soul, dipped in the spirit of disco and R&B. Formed while attending Columbia College’s audio engineering program, the group was led by the charismatic and multi-talented Andre Gibson. Their infectious grooves and tight musicianship were captured in a series of recordings at the college's audio engineering department, yet, for reasons unknown, they never achieved the commercial success their talent deserved.

It wasn't until decades later that the Universal Togetherness Band received a semblance of the recognition that eluded them in their prime. Their music was resurrected by the efforts of archivists and aficionados of rare grooves, which led to a number of their recordings being officially released for the first time. Albums like "Universal Togetherness Band" present a treasure trove of danceable beats and transcendent melodies that tell a story of a band out of time yet timeless in their sound. Each of their tracks, from the energetic "Saturday Night" to the compelling "More Than Enough," shine a light on a band that symbolized the unity and spirit of their name, bringing fervent music to the world that continues to inspire and set bodies in motion.
