Inner City is an American electronic music group that formed in Detroit, Michigan, in 1987. The group was originally composed of the record producer and composer Kevin Saunderson and the Chicago, Illinois, vocalist Paris Grey. Saunderson is renowned as one of the Belleville Three—along with Juan Atkins and Derrick May—high school friends who later originated the Detroit techno sound. In February 2018, Billboard magazine ranked them as the 69th most successful dance artists of all-time.[1]

Musical career


Inner City topped the US Billboard dance chart five times,[2] and had nine top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart.[3] The group is best known for its early dancefloor-pop music crossover tracks "Big Fun" (UK #8,[3] US Dance #1[2]) and "Good Life" (UK #4,[3] US Dance #1[2]). Other hits include "Do You Love What You Feel" (UK #16,[3] US Dance #1[2]) and "Whatcha Gonna Do with My Lovin'" (UK #12,[3] US Dance #8[2]). The music videos to these songs received significant airplay throughout the world. Later work introduced a hybrid of techno, jazz and swing beats with a more soulful sound in the vein of downtempo British groups such as Soul II Soul and Massive Attack. The group recorded three albums for Virgin/EMI Records and two singles for Columbia/SME Records.


In the early nineties Tommy Onyx was brought on to be the band leader for Inner City live shows.[4] Onyx co wrote the hits “Hallelujah”, “Fire” & “Bad Girl” and produced the Spanish language version of Good Life, “Buena Vida”.[5]


In 2017 a new incarnation of the group was formed with Kevin Saunderson’s youngest son Dantiez joining as a permanent fixture.[6] Dantiez and Kevin’s first single as Inner City, “Good Luck”, was released April 14, 2017 on KMS.[7] “Good Luck” features vocals from LaRae Starr and includes remixes from DEAS, Sure Is Pure and Chuck Daniels.
