FUNK FOUNDATIONS #50 / CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIR

RADIO.D59B

Originally known as Ben Iverson and the Nue Dey Express...the group was renamed for a neighborhood in Brooklyn. Under contract to RCA they recorded their self-titled first album in 1974. A shift to De-Lite Records in ‘75 (marketed under Polygram) saw the group gain worldwide audiences. In the L70s and E80s the members became successful record producers for some De-Lite, Prelude, and Beckett Records acts. Some members started collaborating and branching out in other bands. Although their body of work is not that big, but it is important for the foundation of funk. 1. Strikers - Hold onto your feelings '81 2. Made in U.S.A. - Shake your body '77 3.
