Featuring tracks from the American jazz-funk outfit’s 1974 album

Craig continues his countdown of his forty funkiest albums, with tracks from the Blackbyrds’ 1974 long-player Flying Start.

The American jazz-funk outfit were formed in Washington D.C. in the early 70s, releasing a string of albums throughout the decade, which were highly influential on the hip-hop scene that followed in the 1980s.

This is the third part of Craig’s show from Saturday 25 June. Craig’s Glastonbury Trunk of Funk is available as a separate episode on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Sounds. Find it via Craig’s episode list, or search for ‘Craig Charles Glastonbury’.
