Con Funk Shun (formerly known as Project Soul) is an American R&B and funk band whose popularity began in the mid-1970s and ran through the 1980s. The band began in 1969 as Project Soul, formed by Vallejo, California high school students Louis A. McCall Sr. (drums/percussion/vocals) and Michael Cooper (rhythm guitar/lead vocals). By 1971, the band also included bassist Cedric Martin, keyboardist Danny "Sweet Man" Thomas, trumpeter Karl Fuller, and woodwinds player Paul "Maceo" Harrell. After that, this group became complete when singer/multi-instrumentalist Felton Pilate came on board.
In 1971, the seven musicians formed a new band, calling themselves Con-Funk-Shun, after a song by the instrumental ensemble The Nite-Liters. They relocated to Memphis, Tennessee in 1973 when they were hired to back up "Stax Records artists The Soul Children". There, they came to the attention of Estelle Axton who signed them to her "Fretone Records" label. Their debut album, Organized Con Funk Shun, was released in 1973. The seven band members chose to change the name of the band to Con Funk Shun (dropping the hyphens) in 1974.
Signed to Mercury Records in 1976, Con Funk Shun enjoyed a decade of successful both nationally and globally, eleven chart-topping albums, and numerous hit singles, including a Billboard magazine "Number One With A Bullet" hit single on the Top R&B Singles chart. After leaving Mercury Records, the original band members began performing and recording as Con Funk Shun in 1987. The group formally disbanded in 1986.
