Their mutual love of soul, funk and jazz inspired them to form a 7-piece band "The Class Of ‘78” in their teens featuring songs they had written and arranged together. After a few years of playing live, and with Earl and Clive now at university, they formed a self-contained duo called McKENZIE & GARDINER (aka McKENZIE GARDINER) with Earl on guitar, bass and lead vocals and Clive on keyboards and backing vocals writing songs individually and together. In 1983, they made their first demos in Brixton which won a competition in “Blues & Soul” magazine offering a day in the studio at Streetwave Records, West Acton. There they recorded FROM TIME (Groove Version) which landed them an artist and publishing deal. In July 1983 a new recording of FROM TIME was made and released as a 7” and 12” single produced by Joe Williams. Years later this became a highly sought-after Rare Groove slice of 80’s Boogie, with the original 12” selling for up to £200 on ebay. The 12” was re-released by French label Boogie Times in 2011 and has featured on Rare Groove CD compilations. A 12-track album of unreleased songs recorded in and around 1983 called "SONGS FROM TIME - THE LOST DEMOS” including FROM TIME (Groove Version) was released by Headstretch Records digitally in autumn 2013 and as a limited edition 8-track vinyl version in 2014. Proud to have been played by Dâm-Funk.

McKenzie Gardiner Lyrics


Breaking Free Definite case of stuck in a rut… I can’t take these…
Got to Get Away YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME, BUT THAT AIN’T…
Hold On Tight HOLD ON TIGHT, HOLD ON HOLD ON TIGHT, HOLD ON I CAN…
In the Mood for Love WE NEVER SAY A WORD WE’RE TALKING WITH OUR EYES I’LL…
Let's Face it It's Over In the time we’ve been together Our loving has been oh…



Let's Face It It's Over * In the time we’ve been together Our loving has been oh…
Looking After Number One I can’t forget the way you treated me I was young…
The Dream THE DREAM WAS WRONG AND IT TOOK SO LONG TO FIND…
The Feeling WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO REALISE WHAT I FELT IT’S…
We've Got to Make it Right Can’t imagine – my life without you here Never thought that…
