Welcome The Legendary Ladies of SKYY To The NTUNED MixUp With Ms.P

The NTuned Show with Ms.P And The Family

The Ladies of SKYY, Denise, Dolores and Bonné Dunning, are the original female vocalists of the hit R&B/funk group SKYY. Their musical career spans more than 30 years. With their thirteen year association with SKYY and the subsequent remakes, remixes and samples of their music, the Dunning sisters stand in their rightful place as the founding females of funk, R&B, dance, club and hip-hop music. The Sisters are natives of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York. Their interest in singing flourished while attending Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School. As teenagers, they always sang in front of the mirror with their hair brushes as microphones, dreaming of becoming professionals like Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and, of course, the Supremes. Their vocal and performance style, however, was patterned after their love for the male vocalist groups of the 60’s and 70’s because of their tight harmonies and smooth routines. They made their first stage appearance in the high school talent show in 1968 under the name “The Sounds of Soul.” In 1973 they met Randy Muller who was selected as the musical director for the Miss Black America New York State Pageant. They were the babysitters for the pageant director, and he encouraged them to sing at the pageant. Randy’s group, Brass Construction served as the band for the pageant. When told by the pageant director that he had “some girls who were going to sing,” Randy was skeptical about their talent…that is, until the girls sang “Old Man River,” acapella, Temptations-style, and Randy was completely blown away by their expert execution.
