Roxanne was formed in 1986 from Riverside, California by vocalist Jamie Brown (3) and bassist Joe Infante They enlisted John Butler (8) on guitar and Dave Landry on drums. By 1987 they had risen to the top of the heap in the LA music scene and landed a deal with Scotti Bros. Records (a now defunct subsidiary of CBS).

Roxanne released their debut album in February of 1988. While enjoying moderate success with the single “Cherry Bay” at AOR radio, they simultaneously rose to number 63 on the Billboard singles charts with their cover of Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music” (White Boy).

Roxanne recorded a bunch of demo tapes and took to the Hollywood club circuit 90 miles to the North. Eliciting great crowd response and maintaining a strong following, the band quickly came to the attention of Scotti Brothers.
