3 Pieces were the Washington, DC trio of Andre Richardson, Jerry Wilder, and Lincoln Ross. Donald Byrd's time in DC was short but furiously productive. Having midwifed hitmakers the Blackbyrds while teaching on the Howard University campus, Byrd used his growing clout to get 3 Pieces a record deal as well. The group didn't quite have the national impact of Byrd's other proteges, but clearly made an impression locally, with "Back Up Against The Wall" and "Shortnin' Bread" (along with the separately-released single "Iwishcan William") cropping up in go-go repertoires for decades after.
