Boyd & Timmy - WBLS 1983

The Godfathers of House music.  Boyd Jarvis, and American and Timmy Regisford, Trinidad born worked together at WBLS.  Boyd started his career in the entertainment business as an intern for the renowned dancer/choreographer, Pearl Primus and trained under Sandra Ross in theater lighting and set design. He went on to design lighting for shows at Lincoln Center, Perry Street Theater, and Riverside Church Theater. Music had always been a passion of his and so in 1981 he bought his first synthesizer, a Yamaha CS-15. Timmy Regisford heard him play at Melon’s and asked him to overdub a set that Timmy was about to do as an audition for WBLS. Soon, Boyd and Timmy were producing a dance music show for WBLS. From that show came the hit track, The Music’s Got Me . Boyd and Timmy began to do a lot of work as remixers. The rest, as they say, is history.
