  • Years Active: 1970s-1980s
  • Genre: R & B

The Chicago-based performing and songwriting team Zane Grey and Len Ron Hanks wrote songs for Jerry Butler in the early '70s before moving to Los Angeles in 1976. They scored big hits as composers in the '70s with L.T.D.'s "Back in Love Again" and The Tavares' "Never Had a Love Like This Before," as well as having Millie Jackson, Norman Connors, and Lenny Williams and Mystique record their tunes. They got their own solo deal with RCA in 1978. Their first LP, You Fooled Me, yielded one Top 10 R&B hit in 1979, "Dancin," which hooked into the remnants of disco fever and reached number eight. They made one more album for RCA, Prime Time, in 1980. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
