Fantastic Voyage - Lakeside (1980)

"Fantastic Voyage" was a 1980 funk single by the Dayton, Ohio-based group Lakeside. The song hit number one on the R&B chart and was the group's only entry on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number fifty-five. It was the title track from "Fantastic Voyage", the fourth album from by the funk band. Released in 1980 on the SOLAR Records label, it was produced by the band's members. Personnel on the album, considered to be the most famous lineup of Lakeside, included Mark Adam Wood Jr., Stephen Shockley, Fred Alexander Jr., Fred Lewis, Norman Beavers, Otis Stokes, Marvin Craig, Tiemeyer McCain, and Thomas Shelby. In 1994, hip-hop artist Coolio sampled "Fantastic Voyage" for his own hit of the same title. This channel is dedicated to all the great 'old school' R&B music I grew up with, the stuff that originally made me tap my feet and want to be a DJ. Funk, soul, disco, R&B, dance, hip-hop, pop . . . 60s, 70s, 80s . . . whatever you call it, it's all 'Old School' and it's all here!

Thank you for another brilliant post! I don't often hear about Lakeside, but they were one of my favorite bands back in the day. I always loved "Fantastic Voyage", especially the heavy baseline, and "Say Yes" is another fave. I really appreciate all of your work, DJ Buddy!
