Artist Bio:
Wild Cherry was an American funk rock band formed in 1970 in Ohio. The band was best known for their hit single "Play That Funky Music," released in 1976. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was a major success, selling over two million copies. "Play That Funky Music" also earned Wild Cherry a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
Despite the success of "Play That Funky Music," Wild Cherry was unable to replicate the same level of success with their subsequent releases. The band disbanded in the early 1980s, but their one hit wonder status has solidified their place in music history. Wild Cherry's legacy lives on through their iconic hit song, which continues to be a popular choice for radio airplay and is often included in compilation albums of 70s music.
