From Mike Sutton (Discovered by Stevie Wonder for Motown Records, where he became a legendary hit maker, producer) Michael B. Sutton founded Funk Therapy, a collective group of musicians. “‘Old School Party’ is my comeback anthem, thanks to therapy! Funk Therapy that is! We may all have had some form of Therapy in our lives for one thing or another, yet music is the key to unlock my true self.
With the support of my beautiful wife Anissa Sutton and many others, she knew that music would be the key to heal and is my purpose on this earth. Reviving Souls with that Healing Power of that Old School Music which we call Funk Therapy!
I channeled new energy into recreating the 70’s and 80s Funk-Disco- Soul – RnB – Magic I used to make for legends back in my Motown days.
At Motown, I had the pleasure of working with some of the greatest, Berry Gordy, Hal Davis, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Dionne Warwick, The Originals, Chuck Brown, Cheryl Lynn, Ray Parker Jr., Thelma Houston & Jerry Butler, Anita Pointer, Switch, and more….
This song isn’t just a tune; it’s a throwback to the authentic ’70s sound we all adore. Think good times, genuine vibes, and the heart of music. It’s my way of inviting you to join the party, dance it out, and relive the joy we all miss!” – Michael B. Sutton
