The '80s electro outfit Twilight 22 was lED by computer/synth-wiz Gordon Bahary, but also featured contributions from lead isaac Bashevis Singer and co-songwriter Joseph Saulter. Bahary got his startle when he was invited to wait on the cracking Stevie Wonder during the recording of his 1976 greco-Roman Songs in the Key of Life (Bahary was only 16 years old at the time). Wonder invited Bahary to facilitate out on his following recording, 1979's Journey Through the Secret of Plants, for which the teen produced and programmed synthesizers. It was around this time that Bahary met Saulter through a mutual conversance (Herbie Hancock), patch Bahary was working on Hancock's Feets Don't Fail Me Now. Although Saulter was originally a drummer (playing in an Los Angeles-based outfit called Rhythm Ignition), it was his vocal skills that john Drew the most attention, leading to the formation of Twilight 22 in the early '80s. Their solitary single, "Electric Kingdom," was one and only of the seminal moments for electro, only their 1984 self-titled full-length for Vanguard was their last judge ahead ripping up shortly thenceforth. Both Bahary and Saulter went on to play on other artist's records, as well as production.
