Biography
Herman Kelly & Life were a soul music group based in Miami, Florida. The band's lone album, Percussion Explosion, was released in 1978 and executive produced by Cuban-born American Thomas Fundora. Their most notable track, "Dance to the Drummer's Beat", was originally released that same year on various American and European labels with different mixes and lengths. Due to a typographical error, the title of the song was mislabeled as "Dance to the Drummer Beat" on both the Audio Latino and Electric Cat releases. The track has since appeared on numerous compilation releases, including Ultimate Breaks and Beats, which is popular among deejays and hip-hop artists. Members included Oliver Wells, Travis Biggs, and lead vocalist Aaron McCarthy (aka Jelly). The record and album were promoted worldwide from 1978 to 1980 and have often been sampled since.
