I am from Dayton, Ohio, and I remember how proud we all were of Johnnie and the other guys from here for making it big back then. We came from the same projects De Soto Bass, and it was really good to see a rose rise from the concrete. Thanks for posting this!!!
Heatwave is funkier than EVER in this one. And, Johnny Wilder's moves rival Michael Jackson! He along with Keith, and the band had some serious moves! :-)
in response to saxy,there are a few doing it both old and new school.mint condtion being one thats of a newer generation and maze from the grown folk generation.
Heatwave brings back so many great memories, Oh I remember being foot loose and fancy free, not a care in the world. Wanting to hurry and grow up... thats the only part of the memories that I regret. I know now that my late teens were ideal, listening to Heatwave and so many other talented groups... Thanks for Posting, I really enjoyed the trip back to the 70's... it was GROOVY!
@atl808 I didn't realize all the tragedies until the Unsung documentary. But even as a kid in the 70s I knew this group was tight. Them and The Ohio Players. I had no choice as my father and brothers thrust it all down your throat daily. Lol
