But, see, the lure of the funk was strong in the 1970s. Musicians who wanted to be in touch with the masses had to go there.Consequently, Donald Byrd – as well as Herbie Hancock and Herbie Mann – added nice flavors to black radio.
Here’s a track I love. Produced by the Mizell Brothers, “(Fallin’ Like) Dominoes” was a minor hit in 1976.
In the hip-hop era, it has been sampled by Ice Cube, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince and (as with last week’s 12-inch) Stetsasonic.
Cheers to fastflyer2007 for uploading this.

No idea.

Yeah, the chorus is a killer.
I remember buying the CD in Tower Records on Sunset Blvd. a few years ago, not knowing this song by its title... not looking for any track in particular. When this song started, I was like, "I know this tune."
And then the chorus kicked in and I was like, "I remember this! I love this track! I can't believe I stumbled and bought it without even knowing!"
