Funk

Amerikanische Funkrockband beastehend aus weißen und schwarzen Musikern, bekannt durch "Play That Funky Music". Gegündet in Pittsburgh, aufgelöst nach 4 Platten 1979.


Only the Wild Survive was Cherry's fourth album and it would also be their last. Like I Love My Music before it, Only the Wild Survive is a decent but uneven and unremarkable soul/pop/rock LP that lacked the really strong single that Cherry desperately needed. The Pittsburgh outfit tries a variety of things, and the results are enjoyable on tunes that range from the ballsy "Hold on to Your Hiney" (which has a Rare Earth-meets-the Commodores sort of appeal) and the Motown-flavored "Take Me Back" to the dramatic, pop-minded "Starlight." But in 1979, decent wasn't enough to save Wild Cherry. Only the Wild Survive was ignored by both pop and R&B radio; the only people who bought the long out-of-print LP were Cherry's small group of diehard fans. At that point, Cherry's breakup seemed inevitable.
