T-Connection is a Bahamian funk and disco group formed in Nassau, Bahamas, consisting of brothers Theophilus "T" and Kirkwood Coakley, along with guitarists David Mackey and Monty Brown, and drummer Anthony Flowers. T-Connection gained initial recognition with their hit "Do What You Wanna Do", which reached Number 1 on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1977. This success was followed by another notable track, "Everything Is Cool", which peaked at number 10 on the US Billboard R&B chart. The group's debut album, Magic, was released in 1977 under TK Records, marking their entry into the music industry. Throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, T-Connection continued to release albums such as On Fire (1978), T-Connection (1978), and Totally Connected (1980). Their track "Groove to Get Down" became a staple in the sampling community due to its inclusion on the 1986 Ultimate Breaks and Beats series. T-Connection's impact extended internationally, with five entries in the UK Singles Chart, including their highest-placed success, "Do What You Wanna Do", which reached number 11. The group's influence is noted by producers like Calvin Harris, who cited "Do What You Wanna Do" as a formative influence on his early music production.
