Jonzun Crew was an electro group who carried their spin on Parliament/<a href="spotify:artist:450o9jw6AtiQlQkHCdH6Ru">Funkadelic</a>'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 <a href="spotify:artist:5twssElwR4vGMKwbezQV3V">Maurice Starr</a>) formed Jonzun Crew in Boston in 1981, with Gordy Worthy and <a href="spotify:artist:6fngPQewdOnJMFS2s675XB">Steve Thorpe</a> filling out the lineup for different stretches of the group's existence. <a href="spotify:artist:5twssElwR4vGMKwbezQV3V">Starr</a> and Michael would gain further notoriety for helping to bring <a href="spotify:artist:1mFX1QlezK1lNPKQJkhwWb">New Edition</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:55qiaow2sDYtjqu1mwRua6">New Kids on the Block</a> to the world; Michael (who continued using <a href="spotify:artist:3607GZIxYRNNC0Rds2C2mn">Jonzun</a> 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, Rovi
