GQ (band)

GQ, originally known as The Glasshouse, was an American soul and disco band popular during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Formed in The Bronx, New York, the group achieved mainstream success with their hits "Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" and "I Do Love You".

The band's lineup consisted primarily of Emanuel Rahiem LeBlanc (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Keith "Sabu" Crier (bass guitar, vocals), Herb Lane (keyboards, vocals), and Paul Service (drums, vocals). LeBlanc's distinctive vocals were a key element of their sound.

GQ's music combined elements of funk, soul, and disco. Their debut album, Disco Nights, released in 1979, was their most commercially successful, reaching platinum status. The album showcased their signature blend of danceable grooves and smooth harmonies. "Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" became an international hit, reaching the top of the R&B charts and peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.

Following the success of Disco Nights, GQ released subsequent albums, including GQ Two and Face to Face, but they did not achieve the same level of commercial acclaim. While they continued to tour and perform, the band eventually faded from the mainstream spotlight.

GQ's music remains a significant part of the disco and soul music landscape. "Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" is still a frequently played track on oldies radio stations and at disco-themed events. The band's contribution to the dance music scene of the late 1970s continues to be recognized.
