In 1969, Dayton, Ohio native Stephen Shockley formed the Young Underground after exiting the Monterreys. Vocalist Mark Woods, who was a member of the local band the Nomads, joined up with Shockley to form a more mature-sounding Young Underground. The group initially had a record deal with Curtom Records as a result of winning a talent contest in Chicago. However, Curtom folded shortly thereafter. While in Chicago the group renamed itself Lakeside Express, after the Lakeside Express Newspaper in Chicago.
In 1974 the emerging Lakeside Express and another group by the name of Liquid Funk, which featured Dallas native Fred Alexander, Jr. on drums, arrived in Los Angeles around the same time. For the next couple of years the bands performed at events around the greater L.A. area, occasionally crossing paths. The members of Liquid Funk returned to Dallas, but Alexander remained in L.A. Lakeside, who by now had dropped the Express from their name, was seeking additional personnel to solidify their band. After two auditions, Alexander was welcomed into the group.
Lakeside inked a deal with Motown, but found no success. Consequently, they released a ballad on ABC Records, but that label went under. The good fortune they were seeking turned out to be at Dick Griffey's Solar Records. The group signed a deal with Griffey, and released their first Top Ten hit on Solar Records, "It's All the Way Live," which peaked at number four on the Billboard R&B charts.
Lakeside released a host of songs that scaled the R&B charts, but didn't threaten the position of any other artists. However, in 1980 they went storming up the charts again with their smash number one single, "Fantastic Voyage," which was produced by the self-contained band. They followed the success of "Fantastic Voyage" with another Top Ten R&B single, a remake of the Paul McCartney and John Lennon classic "I Want to Hold Your Hand." The group continued their success with the Billboard Top Ten singles "Raid," "Outrageous," and a string of R&B party songs and ballads.
More hits on the R&B charts, such as "Raid" (1983) and "Outrageous" (1984), kept the group going.

This is my favourite track from Lakeside! The bassline (Marvin Craig) blows my mind every time I listen to it. The Alakazam part of the lyrics was a complete mystery to me until my younger son deciphered it for me about five years ago! The video clip is a masterpiece with the exotic Arabian costumes and excellent choreography!!
Enjoy the lyrics below.....
Your wish is my command - Lakeside
Your wish is my command
If it's true love that you want
Alakazam!
I’m here to please you, can never do enough
Can never do enough for you baby
To truly experience the magic of love
Baby I'm the man to see
You just
Tell me, say it honey
Tell me it's love that you wanna feel
Say the magic words for me
Say you love me, say you love me
And let me do my thing for you
There's no limit, there’s more than just three
Ooooh wish it baby, ask it of me.
Cos I’m here with you for as long as you live
Your wish is my command
Your wish is my command
If it's true love that you want
Say it baby
Alakazam!
Don't be surprised at what you might see
Or what I might do for you baby
I'm the genie to make your dreams reality
And more than just a fantasy
You just
Call me, call me girl
And say the words that I wanna hear
Say the magic words for me
Say you love me, say you love me
And let me do my thing for you
If you don't believe all the things I can do
Then make a wish girl and watch it come true
Cos I'm here to give all my love unto you
Your wish is my command.
Your wish is my command
If it's true love that you want
I can never do enough
Alakazam!
To prove I love you baby
Your wish is my command.
Your wish is my command
If it's true love that you want,
Anything your heart desires,
Alakazam!
You know I'm the man to see. Hey!
(Double Guitars interlude)
Your wish!
(Bass Guitar interlude)
Your wish!
(Bass Guitar interlude)
Your wish!
(Instrumental interlude)
There's no limit baby,
There's more than just three
Hey, hey wishes baby, ask it of me.
Cos I'm here to give as long as you live.
Your wish
To truly experience a magical love,
Is my command
You gotta make your wish girl.
If it's true love that you want,
I can never do enough
Alakazam!
To prove I love you baby
Your wish
Hey baby baby
Is my command
Your wish is my command.
If it's true love that you want,
I can never do enough
Alakazam!
To prove I love you baby
Baby hey!
Alakazam!
Your wish
To truly experience…..

Professr 93

James Robinson
@Professr 93 do you know what this type of music did to people back then? How much fun listening to this type of music in clubs, house parties, picnics, or just hanging out with friends. Shit that like that?
James Robinson
@Professr 93 something else, youngsters like you were created because of this type of music
Professr 93
@James Robinson hey I still vibe the original tunes . Real feel good music . Good for the soul

Lakeside were probably the most underrated group in the SOLAR family, next to Dynasty. The wide variety of rich basslines, funky grooves and melodies from the 80's remains unmatched by any other decade. God please give us back the 80's and we will gladly give you back Lady Gaga, Bieber, LMFAO, and Simon Cowell.
Glass Always 1/2 Full
You couldn't have said it better. 52 now and the music of the late 70's and entire 80's decade were the biggest social influence on me.

Their 'drip' is erything
James Robinson
I first heard their music in 1978 " Pull My Strungs"!
