The Ladies of SKYY, Denise, Dolores and Bonn\xe9 Dunning, are the original female vocalists of the hit R&B/funk group SKYY. Their musical career spans more than\xa030 years. With their thirteen year association with SKYY and the subsequent remakes, remixes and samples of their music, the Dunning sisters stand in their rightful place as the founding females of funk, R&B, dance, club and hip-hop music.\n\nThe Sisters are natives of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York. Their interest in singing flourished while attending Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School. As teenagers, they always sang in front of the mirror with their hair brushes as microphones, dreaming of becoming professionals like Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and, of course, the Supremes. Their vocal and performance style, however, was patterned after their love for the male vocalist groups of the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s because of their tight harmonies and smooth routines. They made their first stage appearance in the high school talent show in 1968 under the name \u201cThe Sounds of Soul.\u201d\n\nIn 1973 they met Randy Muller who was selected as the musical director for the Miss Black America New York State Pageant. They were the babysitters for the pageant director, and he encouraged them to sing at the pageant. Randy\u2019s group, Brass Construction served as the band for the pageant. When told by the pageant director that he had \u201csome girls who were going to sing,\u201d Randy was skeptical about their talent\u2026that is, until the girls sang \u201cOld Man River,\u201d acapella, Temptations-style, and Randy was completely blown away by their expert execution.
