group's 2 album CD release.[3] The album was arranged by Leon Pendarvis, Arthur
Jenkins, Paul Riser and Richard Tee. It was written and produced by the
husband-and-wife team of Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson with Dick Ellescas
credited for the cover illustration.

The Dynamic Superiors are a Motown group from Washington, D.C., United States.

The group formed in 1963 with members Tony Washington (lead), George Spann
(1st tenor), George Peterback, Jr. (2nd tenor), Michael McCalpin (baritone),
and Maurice Washington (bass). After a ten-year wait, they received their first
recording contract in 1974. They recorded with moderate success throughout the
1970s. One of their best selling hits was "Shoe Shoe Shine" in 1975. They were
unique in that Tony Washington was openly gay, and sometimes dressed in drag
onstage. The group's last recording came in 1980. Original member George Spann
joined The Flamingos in 2001.

The group was then reformed by George Spann in 2006, following the breakup of
the Flamingos. The other members were three of the other Flamingos members:
Larry Jordan, Earnest "Just Mike" Gilbert, and James Faison. Original lead
singer Tony Washington died in 1989.
