Young Disciples

Young Disciples was a British-American acid jazz band formed in London in July 1990. The group consisted of Carleen Anderson (vocals and keyboards), Marco Nelson (bass, guitar, and organ), and Femi Williams (percussion and programming). Their debut single, "Get Yourself Together", reached Number 68 in the UK Singles Chart in October 1990, marking their breakthrough moment. The band's follow-up release, "Apparently Nothin'", became a notable hit, peaking at Number 13 on the UK Singles Chart in 1991 and bringing them significant national attention. This success was followed by the release of their debut album, Road to Freedom, which reached Number 21 on the UK Albums Chart. The album featured collaborations with notable artists such as Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Mick Talbot, Paul Weller, Steve White, Max Beesley, and IG Culture. In 1992, Young Disciples contributed an original track to the Red Hot Organization's dance compilation album Red Hot + Dance, supporting AIDS charities. However, Carleen Anderson left the group in 1992 to pursue a solo career with Virgin Records, leading to the band’s disbandment. The name was still used for remix production for several years afterward.
