Funky Walk Part I (East)

Artist Bio:
Dyke And The Blazers was an American funk band led by Arlester "Dyke" Christian. The group was formed in Phoenix, Arizona in the mid-1960s and was known for their high-energy performances and soulful sound. They were one of the first bands to combine R&B, soul, and funk, paving the way for the development of the genre.

Their most famous song, "Funky Broadway," was a hit in 1967 and is considered a classic of the funk genre. Dyke And The Blazers were known for their tight, groovy rhythms and Christian's powerful vocals. Tragically, Dyke Christian was killed in a street robbery in 1971, bringing an end to the band's career.
