A.k.a. The Nite-Liters
New Birth is an American funk and R&B band formed in Detroit, Michigan by former Motown songwriters and producers Vernon Bullock and Harvey Fuqua and music industry veteran Tony Churchill. New Birth was originally culled from several groups; The Nite-Liters, a quartet of male singers named the Now Sounds, a quartet of female voices named Mint Juleps (2), and later members of Love, Peace & Happiness. Over time various members of these groups became just one comprehensive group, The New Birth. The name stood for a new sound and a new beginning.
