Breakwater - Release The Beast from 1980

Breakwater was a funk and soul American band from Philadelphia, formed in 1971. The band consisted of Gene Robinson, James Gee Jones, Linc 'Love' Gilmore, Steve Green, Vince Garnell, Greg Scott, John 'Dutch' Braddock, and Kae Williams, Jr.
The band released two albums: Breakwater in 1978, and Splashdown in 1980. The latter features the song "Release the Beast", which was sampled for the Murs track "Intro" in the album Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition. "Release the Beast" was later sampled by Daft Punk for the song "Robot Rock", which appeared on the album Human After All. "Release the Beast" features the sound of an oscillator sync patch on an analog synthesizer.

There should be robot that automatic deletes any comment with the words Daft Punk in it. You wanna talk about them then go to their video. Let the people who enjoy "original" content listen and conversate in peace.

This was a big spin at the skating rink I skated at back in the day, the DJ would get the floors filled (dance & rink) with this one, overlooked 80's funk, by an overlooked R&B/funk band, no question, R.I.P. Kae Williams Jr., the the leader of this fantastic band...

[CrystalFissure]

WOW! THis was made in the 80's? So ahead of its time.
