Stargard (band)
Stargard (in the Pomeranian/Kashubian language the term means ''Old Town'', ''Old City'' or ''Old Fortified Settlement''; the name can be also phonetically read as ''star guard'') was an American three-piece female funk band, consisting of original members Rochelle Runnells, Debra Anderson, and Janice Williams. Stargard was best known for their 1977 Norman Whitfield-penned hit song "Theme Song from 'Which Way Is Up'" which served as a theme for the movie of the same name starring Richard Pryor. The single, which also anchored the band's 1978 self-titled debut album for MCA Records, charted at #1 on the ''Billboard'' R&B chart. The Whitfield-penned title track of their follow up album ''What You Waitin' For'' was also a Top 10 R&B hit. The group's last hit came after switching to the Warner Bros. Records label and releasing ''The Changing Of The Gard'', and its standout single "Wear It Out", co-produced by Verdine White of Earth, Wind, & Fire.〔(Stargard Albums & Singles ) on Discogs〕
Anderson left the group shortly after ''The Changing of the Gard'' album. The remaining members stayed together to release two more albums; ''Back 2 Back'' (Warner Bros., 1980) and ''Nine Lives'' (MCA, 1982).
Outside of their recorded output, Stargard appeared as 'the Diamonds' in the 1978 film ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band''.
