"There is something about Buffalo that produces Funk Genius, before Rick James came on the scene There were two Titans from Buffalo that most of you never heard of. One was the mellow smooth Marvin Gaye influenced Lou Courtney. The other the Uncut,Uncensored,Direct Soul of Arlester Dyke Christian of Dyke and the Blazers. His voice is the personification of a FunkMeister FrontMan. The driving horns,Thumping Bass lines.Will make you move parts of your body you didn't know you had. Check out his Hardcore redition Of the Isley Brothers "Its your Thing" Funky Walk, Wobble, Let a Woman be a Woman. This guy would have been a superstar without a doubt if he was murdered in Phoenix in 1970 or 71. Trust me the early Hip Hoppers know about his music because he is sampled big time. I just glad that my people knew about this great performer and turned me on to him back in the Day. Again if your like your Funk Raw with no cut card. Dyke is your Guy"

"these guys rocked so hard i went to england in 1993 looking for only this cd. i found it and have been continually blown away by it ever since. apparently this guy died right before the album was released so it never got the marketing push it deserved. listen now though cuz it's hot. i don't know of a harder hitting straight up r&b band (the jb's respectfully excluded....)"

A funkin lesson to be heard........
