You would have to be over 50 and be somewhat ethnically diverse to even understand this band.
Old School Funksters will agree that back in the mid 60s this was what funk was about.
Warning! You have to put your "ghetto" on to understand this tune and the bass line.

Something tells me Tower of Power digs these guys. Bitchin', killer stuff. Funk for days, maybe weeks.

I actually discovered Dyke & the Blazers in college. I was already a Wilson Pickett fan and the local soul station played what I thought was a cover of his "Funky Broadway".
Turns out it was the original - by Dyke & the Blazers.
Good stuff. |

Dyke & The Blazers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wIWX6fkPAc | Well, not sure about all the age/ethnicity disclaimers. If you like funk, you like funk (though I suppose there are variants). Dyke... another example of fine Buffalo, NY born funk. Good stuff.
