Ranking the Funk Bands of Dayton From Dayton, Ohio, U.S.A., hailed 8 funk/soul groups, all who brought their own flavor of funk to the table:
-Sun -Aurra -Lakeside -The Ohio Players -Slave -Faze-O -Zapp & Roger -Dayton ...9 if you include the Keith and Johnnie Wilder-led Heatwave. How would you rank them? Go! *THIS IS A SUBJECTIVE RANKING* [Edited 10/28/20 19:27pm] | |

As far as popularity goes, I'd say that The Ohio Players and Roger & Zapp have that field covered. Slave and Lakeside are the next ones in terms of pure funk grooves. Faze-O has their big hit Riding High, but i honsetly have to hear more of their music to see where they land. Finally, I am not familiar with the other bands left, if they are on the streaming sites, I will give them a listen. Jeux Sans Frontiers | |

Like I said in another thread, we would talk crap about the Minneapolis sound in the 80’s because it was watered down pop compared to the Dayton sound. I forgot about Are You Single by Aurra. [Edited 10/29/20 6:35am] | |

I'm sorry I just really didn't feel Dayton that much but I loved when Chris Jones and a couple of other members were with Sun on their first 2 albums. [Edited 10/29/20 14:55pm] Don't laugh at my funk
