Michael Cooper enjoyed quick success as a solo vocalist after the demise of Con Funk Shun. His LP Love Is Such a Funny Game yielded a huge hit in "To Prove My Love," which made it to number three on the R&B charts. His follow-up release, Just What I Like, in 1989, was also moderately successful. Get Closer included appearances from jazz musicians Roy Ayers, Charles Tolliver, and Buddy Montgomery and was issued in 1992. ~ Ron Wynn
