Machine was an American funk disco group, formed by August Darnell in 1977. The group is most remembered today for their 1979 disco hit, "There But for the Grace of God Go I". The group disbanded in the early 1980s, and Darnell went on to form Kid Creole and the Coconuts. In 2009, three of the band's original members, Jay Stovall, Kevin Nance, and Clare Bathé, reformed the act for a tour.
