Background notes
Archive material and source history
Cliff Blakely formed in New York City in 1978 with Cliff Blakely on vocals and guitar, Brian "Bones" Jones on bass, and Tommy "Thunder" Wilson on drums. They released their debut album "Out of the Shadows" in 1984, which included the single "Get Off My Toe." That song became a radio hit with its rhythm and wordplay.
After "Get Off My Toe" took off, the band toured and put out more albums like "Shadow of the Sun" in 1987 and "Into the Fire" in 1989. Their other songs included "High Steppin'." They played rock with funk and soul elements, and their lyrics touched on social themes alongside personal ones.
