Savoir-Flair

US soul group, founded in July 1982 by Roger Boykin, John Miller and Cassandra Wright. They had been working together primarily as studio singers and musicians on a variety of recording projects such as records, demos, and commercial jingles at a Dallas studio called "Precision Audio". These studio projects included work for clients with products to sell, for local record labels and for solo artists who were trying to get their music on tape. In their spare time they wrote songs and tried them out at the studio. Several of these experiments are included in the album entitled "Savoir-Flair" (Soultex SLP-10282). When the actual recording of the album was completed, the trio decided to find some compatible musicians and form a band. Savoir-Flair played it's first gig in October 1982 with founding members, Boykin, Miller, Wright, James Thomas, Malcolm Ealy, and Thomas Hill. The group performed on private affairs only through December 1982. In January 1983, John Miller left the aggregation and moved to New York to pursue a solo career.
