Song(s) of the Day # 495 Dyke & the Blazers


Now there's a band name. his week's discovery. I found out about this lot a couple of days ago leafing through Dave Marsh's The Heart of Rock & Soul, a great read which I'll get back to at length at some point. There's also an album of theirs on the jukebox at my local, so all round a result. So here's a selection of their stuff. Pretty much the second Funk band in America in the late Sixties after the JBs. Their career was cut short when leader Arlester Christian was shot dead on the streets of Phoenix in 1971.
