PM Dawn

PM Dawn is an American hip hop and R&B act that formed in 1988 by the brothers Attrell Cordes (Prince Be the Nocturnal) and Jarrett Cordes (DJ Minutemix). They are best known for the song "Set adrift on memory bliss" that sampled Spandau Ballet's "True" and reached #1 in the States and on Canada Dance chart in 1991.

What happened next?
PM Dawn changed lineup in 2005 when their cousin Dr Giggles (Doc G) was added, right after which Jarrett was fired from the band. It was later revealed that Attrell suffered from a few strokes and that his health status does not allow him to continue with the band. Attrell died at the age of 46 on June 17th 2016, due to complications from his diabetes. Their cousin Doc G has practically "inherited" the PM Dawn flag, and is touring as PM Dawn performing their songs. On April 6, 2018, Doc.G announced K-R.O.K. as a new member of P.M. Dawn.
