Most popular in the 1970s and 1980s, The Fatback Band is most known for their Top Ten R&B hits, "(Do The) Spanish Hustle", "I Like Girls", "Gotta Get My Hands on Some (Money)", and "Backstrokin'". Their 1979 single "King Tim III (Personality Jock)" is sometimes considered the first hip hop single.

Formed in New York City in 1970, the Fatback Band was the concept of Bill Curtis, an experienced session drummer, inspired to merge the "fatback" jazz beat of New Orleans into a funk band. In addition to Curtis, the band's initial line-up included guitarist Johnny King, bassist Johnny Flippin, trumpet player George Williams, saxophonist Earl Shelton, flautist George Adams, and keyboardist Gerry Thomas. The band specialized in playing "street funk". The group also later included conga player Wayne Woolford, vocalists Jayne and Gerry, Deborah Cooper saxophonist Fred Demerey, guitarist Louis Wright and George Victory.

Fatback Band Lyrics

We've been laying here
Close together my dear
We done seen the town
We done boogied down
I can feel your heat
Coming through the sheet
Oh baby don't mess around
It's time to get down, down, down
Down, down

Baby let's live together
Let's love together
I know you need me
Now come on and feed me
Feed me, feed me your love, love
I'm hungry
Feed me your love
Lord knows I'm hungry

We've been laying here
Close together my dear
We done seen the town
We done boogied down
I can feel your heat love
Coming through the sheet
Baby don't mess around
It's time to get down, down, down
Down, down

Baby let's live together
Let's love together
I know you need me
Now come on and feed me
Feed me, feed me your love
I'm hungry
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm hungry
Feed me your love
Lord knows I'm hungry
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Feed me your love
Eh, eh
