Description

Artist: 'Dyke & The Blazers'

Album: 'The Funk Broadway'

Label: 100% US Original On Original Sound Records (OSR-LPS-8876)

Year: 1967 Original

Record Condition: EX

Sleeve Condition: EX (Still in seal, fantastic copy!) 

 

Notes: Dyke & the Blazers were one of the first acts, possibly the first notable act, to play funk other than James Brown.

Indeed, they often sounded like a sort of junior version of Brown and the JB's, playing songs in which the rhythms and riffs mattered more than the tune.

Similarly, vocalist Dyke Christian sang/grunted words that mattered more for the feeling and rhythm than the content.

Their best-known track, "Funky Broadway, " was covered for a bigger hit by Wilson Pickett, though Dyke & the Blazers got a few more R&B hits before Dyke was shot to death in 1971.

Hard to find original issue, not inferior reproduction.
