Yarbrough and Peoples

[1] The duo’s biggest-selling release was "Don't Stop the Music," a US Billboard R&B chart topper in 1981.

Upon returning to Dallas, the twosome started the band Grand Theft,[3] both as featured keyboardists as well as vocalists.

In 1977, the Wilson Brothers had just joined Total Experience Records (which was at that point a production company) as the Gap Band and went down to Dallas to perform a concert.

Later that night, trying to unwind after the show, the Wilsons caught the twosome's act,[1] and as a result, Lonnie Simmons (President of Total Experience) invited the couple to Los Angeles where they began playing in clubs around Southern California.

Two years later, they signed their own recording contract with Total Experience and recorded and released their debut album, The Two of Us,[1] which contained "Don't Stop the Music," topping the US Billboard R&B chart in early 1981,[3] knocking their label-mate's song "Burn Rubber on Me (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)" out of the top spot.
