Darrian Mitchell

James Brown wasn't too happy about this song, he accused these guys and other bands like them of "getting into HIS bag" i guess meaning coming up with some funky grooves

Ed Obie

From the gut, from the soul, from the heart, this jam just wouldn't let you do until it was over. In the height of the black power movement in the sixties this was the jam that kept us moving in a positive direction, just a natural high. Thank you Dyke and the Blazers !!!!!

King Bee

What came first, Clyde Stubblefield's drum solo on JB's "Cold Sweat"...or the drum solo (by James Gadson, later of Motown?) at the end/start of pts. 1/2 here on the original "Funky Broadway?" Sound a lot alike...

They actually banned Dyke & The Blazer's original version on San Francisco Bay Area Radio when it first came out. We were still able to get it at Ray Dobard's Music City. Yes Dyke's version was vastly superior to Wicked Pickett's. For a great 10 minute storied funk jam, check out "Wrong House" by Dyke & The Blazers on their greatest hits!

Diana Campanella

Wow, I didn't know this version, only Wilson's. I think I'll have to dance to this one! Thanks for posting!

Nicky Depaola

The GREAT James Gadson (drums)

Alfred Watkins

I used to dance to this when I was stationed at Fort Hamilton New York in 1965. That was the song and the dance at the time.

Jerry Johnson

Former #1 song...out of Phoenix, AZ...

TONE B HURT

When I was a kid I used to Funky Broadway, Boo-ga-loo and Funky Chicken off this number right heah!! Plus we had the album "Dyke & The Blazers Greatest Hits"(1969) so we didn't have turn the 45 over lol. One of the baddest most underrated soul-funk pioneers of all time! Several soul greats re-recorded the songs he wrote. I know Dyke died young but he and his band should get more props for their contributions in pioneering the funk!#DykeAndTheBlazers

Grew up Los Angeles and Baltimore area. Saw Dyke & The Blazers AND the Temptations at the Lyric Theatre in 1969. To this day I still listen to music of my youth.

Grew up in West Baltimore City listening to this bad number back in da 60's. They rocked the house always. Love all their music. Hot pants and clogs. Aw shit yeah!
