“Funky Walk Part I (East)” #67 5/11/1968

Serious badass groove alert!! If you want some raw, unpolished 60’s funk music, check this one out from Dyke and the Blazers. They also did the original of “Funky Broadway” made famous later by Wilson Pickett. These guys influenced people ranging from Rick James to Tupac Shakur. Dyke (Arlester Christian) was murdered in 1971 on a Phoenix street, reportedly over a drug deal gone bad.
