Description: AM/FM, was the DC area’s only Go-Hop band, founded by “Outta Site” Mike Hughes, describing Go-Hop as a mixture of Go-Go and Hip-Hop. Hughes, was one of the original members of Experience Unlimited, or E.U. The first generation of AM/FM included two other original members of E.U., Cleveland Battle and Gerard Butler, and was known as “The Crew” of Vaughan Mason and the Crew fame. In the late 70’s, the group enjoyed nationwide success with the song, “Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll’, which reached #5 on the US Billboard Black Singles chart in 1980. The group toured nationally in 1979 and into 1980 and, as they toured, the band got hotter and hotter. The Crew was soon offered a recording contract with Brunswick Records. Five days before the record was to be released, they found out that they couldn’t be called “The Crew”, so they became AM/FM, the first six piece Go-Go band. Their first record as AM/FM, “You are the One” went Gold. AM/FM has been known to stand for “Ask Mike For Money” or “America’s Most Funky Musicians” and it’s also been said “AM/FM stands for ‘All Music for All Minds’ like the AM and FM side of the radio dial.
