Background notes
Archive material and source history
Odyssey formed in Brooklyn in 1977, started by Jerry Cohen and Steve Miller. They brought in vocalists Lillian Lopez and Louise Lopez, whose harmonies defined their early sound. Their debut album that same year included 'Native New Yorker,' which became a Top 10 hit.
In 1979, they released 'Back to My Roots' with the title track 'Going Back To My Roots.' The song connected with listeners and became one of their most enduring recordings. Around this time, Lillian Lopez died in a car accident, and Dorothy Williams joined as a vocalist.
They kept recording through the 1980s with albums like 'Champagne' and 'Stuck Between the Rock and a Hard Place.' Cohen and Miller remained the consistent core through various lineup changes. Their music blended soul and dance rhythms, heard in tracks like 'Move Your Body.'
