One of the most popular pop/jazz groups, Fattburger has been classified by some as new adult contemporary music, contemporary jazz , or smooth jazz . The San Diego-based unit has survived through many trends and still plays the same type of accessible funky music that was its original goal. Saxophonist Hollis Gentry, while in high school, led a group (Power) that opened for Cannonball Adderley at a college concert in 1972. After graduating, Gentry toured with R&B groups. He attended San Diego State University and during the second half of the 1970s had opportunities to play straight-ahead jazz with Bruce Cameron. When their last band broke up, Gentry and the other musicians (keyboardist Carl Evans, bassist Mark Hunter, drummer Kevin Koch, and guitarist [arist]Steve Laury) went out on their own and became Fattburger. Tommy Aros joined the band as their percussionist and in the early '90s, when Laury started a solo career, Evan Marks became Fattburger's guitarist. In the mid-'90s, Fattburger found a home on the Shanachie label, releasing a string of well-received albums into the 21st Century

Fattburger Lyrics
59th St. Weightless falls Honeysuckle Strangers, strange this Lights …

Steve Lauryn wrote that song as well as most the other songs when he was in FattBurger. His version is the best version of the song. I should know because Steve is my best grind
