 Any club musician who survived it will tell you: the disco years were a nightmare for bar bands. Wild Cherry, one such five-piece group based in Steubenville, Ohio (birthplace of funky white boy Dean Martin) found their rockin? style at odds with the club-going public in the first disco era. Night after night, designer-jeaned hustle babies mercilessly taunted the band to come up with some disco tunes. Guitarist Rob Parissi's "Play That Funky Music" was the result. As such, it ended up less white suit boogie than white boy funk-which only served the hecklers right.(R. Parissi); Produced and arranged by Robert Parissi; Bob Parissi, guitar, lead vocal; Bryan Bassett, lead guitar, vocal; Mark Avsec, keyboards; Allen Wentz, bass, synthesizers, vocal; Ron Beitle, drums, vocal; Chuck Berginc, Jack Brandiar, Joe Eckert, Rick Singer, horns; Rec. Cleveland, January 1976. Epic 8-50225. (mx. ZSS 161177); P 1976 Sony Music Entertainment Inc.  |
