Proof that disco evolved rather than died can be heard throughout the discography of house group Ten City. Set apart most obviously by the powerhouse falsetto of Byron Stingily, the Chicago group's recordings epitomize deep house with a basis in gospel and soul, and messages of love and positivity. Teamed with dance music pioneer Marshall Jefferson, Ten City emerged in the late '80s with two of their biggest hits, "Right Back to You" and "That's the Way Love Is," the latter of which topped Billboard's dance/club chart and cracked the Top Ten of the U.K. pop chart. Before their mid-'90s disbandment, the group in their original trio incarnation issued four albums ranging from Foundation (1989) through That Was Then, This Is Now (1994), and charted with seven additional singles. Nearly three decades after the fourth album, Ten City returned with Judgement (2021), made by Stingily and Jefferson.
Members of Ten City include, or have included, Byron Stingily and Byron Burke.
