About Peter Vee
Real name: Peter Paoliello - Producer, singer/songwriter and record industry executive from South Africa. Peter Vee started in the early 60's as a member of South African bands like The Invaders (his first band in 1962), The Four Dukes, Sons of She, The In Crowd, The Staccatos and The Outlet with whom he had a No. 2 hit ("Working On A Good Thing") on the South African pop chart. His biggest solo hit is 1973's "The Tips Of My Fingers". In 1978 he collaborated with synthesizer player Costa Anadiotis and other musicians to form the disco studio group Buffalo specialized mostly on discofications of rock classics. In the late 90's he became MD of South African BMG Music Publishing. Buffalo started out in 1978 as a result of a concept first developed by Peter Vee after spending long, frustrating hours in discos and realising that, although, disco music certainly has incredible appeal for anyone who wants to let it all hang out and dance, dance, dance, in most cases it lacks a lasting quality in the actual songs. I do know, however, that during the late 60's a hard driving rock and soul music made it's first appearance and offered the people a choice - to dance or listen as it contained both these essential ingredients in making the songs and excitement of the 60's a very important factor in the evolution of pop music. As Buffalo we have tried to retain as much of this excitement and melodic content in the revival of some of the classics of this era.
