Fantasy

Fantasy was an American urban pop and disco vocal group formed in New York City by producer Tony Valor. They are best known for their 1980/1981 hit 'You're Too Late', which became a definitive anthem of the post-disco era, reaching the top of the Billboard Dance charts.

The group's sound is a bridge between the traditional soul vocal groups of the 1970s and the emerging electronic textures of 1980s dance music. While often categorized under the broad umbrella of 'Rock' in some databases due to legacy tagging errors, they are firmly rooted in R&B, Funk, and Disco. Their career saw them evolve from a quartet featuring Ken Roberson and Tamm E Hunt into various iterations under Valor's direction, eventually touching on Italo-disco influences in the mid-80s. Critically, they are respected by crate-diggers and DJs for their sophisticated rhythm sections and high-fidelity production standards. They represent a specific moment in NYC club history where funk became more streamlined and synth-heavy before the full emergence of House music.
