Title: Indiana Jones -vs- The Dazz Band - Music Video
Description: This is Circa 1982-1983, when I was mobile video jockey during my college years. MTV inspired me to play videos at dances during my higher education instead of just spinning vinyl as I had been doing prior to 1982.

Dazz Band is a RB/Funk band that was most popular in the early 1980s. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, the group's biggest hit songs include the Grammy Award-winning 'Let It Whip' (1982), 'Joystick' (1984), and 'Let It All Blow' (1984). Its original members were comprised of Bobby Harris, lead guitarist/songwriter Mike Calhoun, percussionist Kenny Pettus, drummer Isaac "Ike" Wiley, Jr., and his brother bassist Michael Wiley.
Title: The DAZZ Band - Let The Music Play
Description: Having already released two albums to little fanfare on 20th Century, under their original name Kinsman Dazz, 1980-1981 saw the band shorten their name, sign to RB powerhouse Motown, and come back with the near-total reinvention of Let the Music Play. Bucking the early-'80s trend of synthesizing absolutely everything, the Dazz Band kept their music flowing around the more traditional funk trappings of exquisitely elastic bass lines and brightly crafted horns.

Description: The debut album, Invitation To Love, by the erstwhile Kinsman Dazz Band, debuting both their newly abbreviated name and their arrival on Motown (following a handful of singles for 20th Century), Invitation to Love was released in 1980 and immediately placed the Dazz Band on the R&B fast track, bathing in a spotlight they wouldn't leave for the better part of a decade. A classic combination of up- and down-tempo grooves, the Dazz Band proved themselves to be strong in multiple genres.

Title: Dazz Band - Megamix
Description: The Dazz Band was a funk music band based in Cleveland, Ohio that enjoyed brief popularity in the United States in the early 1980s. The name of the band is a concatenation of "Danceable Jazz".
The Dazz Band grew out of fusion group Telefunk, which comprised Bobby Harris, Isaac "Ike" Wiley, Jr., his brother Michael Wiley, Michael Calhoun, and Kenny Pettus. Telefunk eventually became Kinsman Dazz, named after the street in Cleveland where Harris had grown up. The group changed its name before the unrelated song 'Dazz' became an R&B hit for Brick in 1976.
Kinsman Dazz was signed to 20th Century Records by Joe Lewis. The group went to Los Angeles to record for producer Marvin Gaye. Owing to illness, Gaye had to back out of the duties. Harris requested and got Philip Bailey, the vocalist of Earth, Wind & Fire, to produce the group's first album, Kinsman Dazz. Bailey would co-produce the second album, Dazz, and had a major input into the group's vocal arrangements.
The Kinsman Dazz became the Dazz Band in 1980. Separately, the 20th Century Records label was closed, and the Dazz Band was signed to Motown. The group expanded from the original quartet — Harris, Pettus, and the Wiley brothers — with newcomers Kevin Frederick, Steve Cox, Eric Fearman, Pierre DeMudd, Sennie "Skip" Martin, Jerry Bell and Terry Stanton.
Dazz's first album for Motown was Invitation to Love, a self-produced set. The group's next album, Let The Music Play, featured the minor hit single "Knock! Knock!". The group's breakthrough came with Keep It Live (1982) containing the hit "Let It Whip" which reached #1 on the R&B charts and won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and was also redone by Boyz ll Men in 2004 . They would go on to score R&B hits with 'Swoop (I'm Yours)', 'Joystick', 'Let It All Blow', and 'Party Right Here'.
After Keep It Live, Dazz Band recorded On the One, Joystick, Jukebox and Hot Spot, all for Motown. The band was known for its live performances, often proving more popular than the headlining act. In, 1985 Fearman and Frederick left the group, and were replaced by Marlon McClain and Keith Harrison. In 1986, Dazz Band recorded Wild & Free under the Geffen label, and moved to RCA Records.
