Led by singer Osiris Marsh, Osiris was a fine but obscure soul/funk outfit that was active in Washington, D.C., in the late '70s. The band's influences included <a href="spotify:artist:5m8H6zSadhu1j9Yi04VLqD">Sly & the Family Stone</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:450o9jw6AtiQlQkHCdH6Ru">Funkadelic</a>, and like <a href="spotify:artist:4QQgXkCYTt3BlENzhyNETg">Earth, Wind & Fire</a>, Osiris was interested in the culture of ancient Egypt. Osiris' debut album, Since Before Our Time, came out on Warner Bros. in 1979; unfortunately, the LP received very little attention, and Osiris (which Warner dropped), broke up without ever recording a second album. In addition to lead singer <a href="spotify:artist:5bBCKXPKYVXylk0CoL63Mc">Marsh</a>, Osiris' members included bassist Tony Jones, keyboardist Maceo Bond, saxman <a href="spotify:artist:0UA9WMPxEJ1PfpEdCBbqIE">Ron Holloway</a>, bassist <a href="spotify:artist:2iOW6LuBHr1Qzb9gtu6ZMn">Tyrone Brunson</a>, guitarist Brent Mingle, drummer <a href="spotify:artist:57an2MaFNGGCWGF9oP7zDE">Kenny Jones</a>, and percussionist Jimmy "Sha Sha" Stapleton. After Osiris' breakup, <a href="spotify:artist:3nXMZsj1H0F7h9SDUeYNjg">Holloway</a> kept busy as a jazz musician and went on to record several hard bop albums for Milestone/Fantasy in the 1990s. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi
