anyone ever heard these guys?

kind of like a more bombastic Blood Sweat and Tears, with a balsy girl singer (Geyna Ravan)

lots of over the top horn sections and Genya wailing in a style that's not too far off from Janis Joplin.

also notable for providing the sample for Jay Z's "1-900-HUSTLER"

My dad used to have one of their songs on a couple of his mix tapes when I was little. The title escapes me right now, but it was like 10 minutes long. You got the description dead on though.
