The Blackbyrds ~ Walking In Rhythm 1978 Disco Purrfection Version...
Byrd truly came into his own as a jazz fusion artist when he hooked up with producer brothers Larry and Fonce Mizell. Their first collaboration was 1972's "Black Byrd", an upbeat, funky blend of jazz and R&B. Jazz critics savaged the album but the record was a smash hit becoming the biggest seller in Blue Note history and just missed hitting number one on the R&B albums chart.
In the wake of its success, Byrd formed a supporting group, the Blackbyrds, who were culled from the cream of his music students at Howard University and recorded through the rest of the '70s. Their first pop hit was "Walking In Rhythm" a #6 hit in 1975 and then the #19 "Happy Music" followed in 1976.
