Crown Heights Affair

Crown Heights Affair, named after the Brooklyn neighborhood where they formed, is an illustrious funk and disco band that has made significant waves since their emergence in the early 1970s. This vibrant collective became known for their effervescent horns, infectious grooves, and spirited performances, quickly embedding themselves into the fabric of the era's dance music scene. With an ever-evolving lineup, the core group maintained a consistent energy that resonated on the dance floors and airwaves alike, propelled by the vision of original members such as Philip Thomas and William Anderson.

The band enjoyed a string of successful albums and singles throughout the late '70s and early '80s. Notable releases like "Dreaming a Dream" catapulted them to the top of the dance charts, while hits such as "Do It Your Way" and "Sure Shot" solidified their reputation as funk-disco stalwarts. The rich, full-bodied soundscapes they crafted on albums like "Think Positive!" exemplified their ability to blend feel-good vibes with a deep musical complexity. Even as trends shifted away from disco, Crown Heights Affair's influence persevered, with albums like "Struck Gold (Expanded Version)" and "Dream World (Expanded Version)" serving as reminders of their enduring contributions to the world of dance music.
