Dyke & The Blazers "Black Boy"

[RJNumber45]

OH SHIT... i never heard of this song or band before.. Al McKay, the God Of Guitar... i still cant believe Maurice White let this man leave the group... EarthWind&Fire was never the same again without his epic rhythm guitar work... he was the 2nd or 3rd most important member of the group

[MrBertiep]

Mimi from Tower of Power always cited these guys as a major influence and after hearing this and "Let A Woman Be A Woman" you can see why!! These guys used to play in my home town at a place called the Soul Shack.

This is just one of those musical slices of time where every single element came together perfectly, and it kills me that it doesn't last longer.

So much groove, so greasy yet so tight. So humbling!

[Khaliqdialectic]

[walkandskank]

Dyke never made it real big, but DAMN! He's the backbone of this thing we call funk. R.I.P. Dyke.
