I think I actually have a Sly Foxx interview somewhere when I taped an 80's weekend for Much Music(the canadian MTV), I seem to think the Sly did some previous work in production or funk groups or something. Didn't recall the other guy saying much at all. The video is hilarious, such a time capsule.

I heard this on the radio a few days ago.(JACK FM , if any of you know what that is) I stumped my friend. I said "I'm gonna name an 80s band and you have to tell me what they sung. Ready? SLY FOX!" She was beating herself in the ehad trying to remember what they sang. I finally had to tell her it was "Lets Go All The way" she said "I used to love that song!"

JACK FM is the weirdest station ever. Sometimes it's so cool that it borders on terrible. Could that be possible? Yes. The fact that the show changes formats all the time just by having none. I remember on day in a row I heard "Bye Bye Love" by the Cars, "Major Tom" by Peter Schilling, "What's up" by Four Non Blondes, "Hey Ya" by Outkast. You can't count on the next song being great, that's all I have to say.

I like them because I have eclectic tastes in music. I love '70s rock, '70s disco, 80s pop, 80s new wave and 80s heavy metal...and they play all those so I'm happy.

Sly Fox only had one hit, but it was quite a single. In 1986, Sly Fox's “Let's Go All the Way" lit dynamite onto the pop charts, an infectious dance track with a thumping drum sound and funky bass. It may have seemed like a lone gem from a rather anonymous group of now-you-see-them-now-you-don't newcomers, but it was actually the work of Parliament veteran Gary ‘Muddbone' Cooper. “Let's Go All the Way", with its oddball mix of hip-hop, Latin pop, disco, and New Wave, crossed radio formats, from R&B to Top-40 to “Rock of the ‘80s" stations ruled by the Smiths and the Cure. Ultra slick, catchy, and making little sense, it could have only come from the ‘80s. Joined by vocalist Michael Camacho, Cooper was able to take his funk roots into the synthesized ‘80s, and “Let's Go All the Way" hinted at greatness. Unfortunately, their debut LP was critically panned and didn't sell well as it should. The album was drenched in filler, mainly lightweight funk and superficial pop/rock that left no lasting impression. Heavy exposure of “Let's Go All the Way" on MTV lengthened Sly Fox's shelf life, but without any other similarly strong tunes, they quickly joined the list of one-hit wonders, and Cooper moved on to other projects, including collaborating with blues guitarist Kelly Richey. “Let's Go All the Way" remains a favorite on ‘80s flashback programs and retro dance clubs.
Personnel:
Producer: Ted Currier Sly Fox (Lead Vocals): Gary "Mudbone" Cooper and Michael Camacho Background Vocals: Evan Rogers, Cindy Mizell, David Sanchez, April Lang Guitars: Binky Brice, Kennan Keating, Frank Finley, David Lavender Bass: Tony Bridges Percussion: Steve Sprouse, Johnny Ventura Keyboards: David L.
