Biography

Like Earth, Wind & Fire and Kool & the Gang before them, Crown Heights Affair artfully bridged the gap between funk and disco, guaranteeing their records new life via sampling by successive generations of rappers and DJs. Originally dubbed New Day Express, the group formed in Brooklyn, NY, in 1967, originally comprising lead vocalist Philip Thomas, guitarist William "Bubba" Anderson, bassist Arnold "Muki" Wilson, keyboardist Stan Johnson, and drummer Raymond "Sugar Ray" Rock. Crown Heights Affair's roster soon expanded to include saxophonist Darryl Gibbs, trumpeter James Baynard, and trombonist Julius Dilligard, Jr., and in 1973 they signed to RCA, releasing their self-titled debut LP the following year. While a hit in New York, the first single, "Super Rod," failed to earn attention across the rest of the country, and when the follow-ups "Leave the Kids Alone" and "Special Kind of Woman" met the same fate, the group was left without a label. At that point Johnson, Gibbs, Baynard, and Dilligard all resigned from Crown Heights Affair, with Howie Young joining on keyboards, Tyrone Demmons coming in on trumpet, and siblings Bertram and Raymond Reid playing saxophone and trombone, respectively. This lineup signed to De-Lite, home to kindred spirits Kool & the Gang, and in 1975 Crown Heights Affair issued its sophomore effort, Dreaming a Dream, with an extended disco mix of the title cut cracking the R&B Top Five and the pop Top 50; "Every Beat of My Heart" and "Foxy Lady" soon followed, further establishing the group's growing reputation among clubgoers. Percussionist Skip Boardley joined the lineup with 1976's Do It Your Way; although the first single, "Dancin'," was a rather shameless knockoff of Isaac Hayes' classic "Theme from 'Shaft'," sales were again respectable, even if the LP's second single, "Do It the French Way," failed to generate much attention. 1978's Dream World was buoyed by De-Lite's new international distribution deal with Polygram. Virtually overnight Crown Heights Affair emerged as major fan favorites in the U.K., with the singles "Galaxy of Love" and "I'm Gonna Love You Forever" both reaching the British pop charts. While the title cut to 1979's Dance Lady Dance was another British hit, the album flopped stateside, prompting Crown Heights Affair to recruit producer Bert DeCoteaux, known for hits with Sister Sledge; the resulting Sure Shot remains a minor masterpiece, highlighted by the disco classic "You Give Me Love," a Top Ten U.K. pop hit during the summer of 1980. But the general public's interest in disco soon took a nosedive, and Crown Heights Affair spent the next two years on hiatus. Minus keyboardist Young, the group resurfaced in 1982 with Think Positive, a failed attempt to update their sound to current tastes. After one final effort, 1983's Struck Gold, Crown Heights Affair split. Bert Reid went on to enjoy some success as a producer, helming Denroy Morgan's underground smash "I'd Do Anything for You" as well as sessions for Unlimited Touch ("I Hear Music in the Streets"), Raw Silk ("Do It to the Music"), and Barbara Tucker ("Stay Together"). As vintage Crown Heights Affair grooves found their way onto latter-day hip-hop and R&B records.

*********************************************************************************

Né au début des années 70 à Brooklyn, New York, Crown Heights Affair est un groupe de funk et R'n'B.

Composé de 9 membres, Crown Heights Affair doit son succès avec des titres tels « Dreaming a dream », « Foxy lady » ou encore « You gave me love ».
De Nue Day Express à Crown Heights Affair

Avant d'être Crown Heights Affair, le groupe se nommait Nue Day Express avec Donnie Linton à la basse, Raymond Rock à la batterie, William Anderson à la guitare ainsi que Phillip Thomas au chant.

Progressivement, Nue Day Express adopte le nom de Crown Heights Affair et se complète avec la venue de Julius Dilligard Jr. au chant, Darryl Gibbs au saxophone, James ''Ajax'' Baynard à la trompette et Stan Johnson aux claviers.

Par la suite, Donnie Linton sera remplacé par Arnold "Muki" Wilson tel que le premier reste le manager du groupe. En 1974, Crown Heights Affair sort son premier album éponyme dont sont extraits deux titres « Leave the kids alone » ainsi que « Super rod ».

Les années suivantes marquent les départs et les venues de certains membres tel que la formation la plus retenue est celle composée par Howard Young, William Anderson, Phillip "Flip" Thomas, Darryl Gibbs, Arnold 'Muki' Wilson, Raymond Reid, Bert Reid, Raymond Rock ainsi que James Baynard.


Succès international

Après avoir signé auprès de RCA Records pour leur premier album, Crown Heights Affair Change de label avec De-Lite records, le même label que le groupe Kool and The Gang.

C'est ainsi que Crown Heights Records sort son deuxième album « Dreaming a dream ». L'album contient 9 titres dont une version disco du morceau « Dreaming a dream » et une autre version a cappela.

La version disco arrive à la première place du Billboard Hot dance Club Play. Issus du même album « Every beat of my heart » ainsi que « Foxy » reçoivent également le même accueil de la part du public.

En 1975, l'album « Foxy lady » arrive dans les bacs qui reprend certains titres de l'album précédent. Un an plus tard, ils sortent « Do it your way » avec des titres tels « Dancin' », « Music is the way » ou encore « French way ».

L'année 1978 voit la sortie de « Dream world » toujours produit par De-Lite Records, une filiale de Polygram aux États-Unis. Relayé par Mercury Records dans la distribution de « Dream world » au Royaume-Uni, les singles extraits de cet album y rencontrent un petit succès.

En effet, « Galaxy of love » arrive dans le top 30 du UK Charts tandis que « I'm gonna love you forever » entre dans le top 50 du UK Charts.


Crown Heights Affair, suite et fin

En 1979, le groupe sort « Dance lady dance », un album qui comprend 6 titres dont « The rock is hot », « Come fly with me » ou encore « Empty soul of mine ». Un an plus tard, ils sortent « You gave me love » qui arrive à la 10e place au UK Charts.

D'autres albums arrivent durant les années 80 avec « Sure shot », « Think positive » ainsi que « Struck gold ». Par ailleurs, le titre « Somebody tell me what to do », paru en 1982 est considéré comme étant le dernier grand hit du groupe.

L'aventure auprès de Crown Heights Affair prenant fin, la majorité des membres du groupe se sont reconvertis en producteurs à savoir Raymond Reid et William Anderson qui intègrent l'équipe de Donnie Linton et ont notamment produit quelques titres d'Amii Stewart ou encore de France Joli.

En 2004, Bert Reid, le saxophoniste de Crown Heights Affair décède des suites d'un cancer du poumon.
