The Lafayette Afro Rock Band, Crispy & Co., Captain Dax, Les ░░ Atlantes, Wall of Steel and Sweet Exorcist was formed originally as The ░░ Bobby Boyd Congress in Long Island, New York in 1970, named after their ░░ original vocalist Bobby Boyd. Upon deciding that the funk scene in the ░░ United States was too saturated for them to viably compete in, they ░░ relocated to France in 1971; there recording one album before Bobby Boyd ░░ would return to America. It was then, after Bobby Boyd left, they named ░░ themselves Ice. ░░ ░░ Their regular performances in Paris' BarbΦs district (an area made up ░░ primarily of North African immigrants) caught the eye of producer Pierre ░░ Jaubert, owner of IHP productions, and he invited them to become the ░░ house session band at his Parisound studio. After the release of the ░░ first Ice album Each Man Makes His Own Destiny, their surroundings in the ░░ BarbΦs district of Paris inspired Ice to weave African music into their ░░ original funk rock style. At that same time, there was the huge ░░ international hit ôSoul Makossaö by African musician Manu Dibango. So, at ░░ the urging of Pierre Jaubert, they changed their name to The Lafayette ░░ Afro Rock Band and began recording songs with African sounding names, ░░ some of which would not be released until 1974 under the Ice moniker on ░░ the album entitled Afro Agban (The Afro Instrumental LP). ░░ ░░ In 1973, The Lafayette Afro Rock Band released Soul Makossa (released in ░░ the U.S. as Movin' and Groovin') covering Manu Dibango's international ░░ hit alongside their own new sounds of afro-jazz-rock. Despite the LP ░░ failing to chart, it made sufficient impact that its standout song, the ░░ oft-covered "Hihache", was sampled regularly for over 20 years by artists ░░ as diverse as Janet Jackson, Biz Markie, LL Cool J, De La Soul, Digital ░░ Underground, Naughty By Nature, and the Wu-Tang Clan. The Lafayette Afro ░░ Rock Band's follow-up effort, their 1974 LP Malik, prominently featured ░░ the Univox Super-Fuzz and liberal usage of the vocoder. It met equal ░░ enduring success, with a modified horn and saxophone sample of "Darkest ░░ Light" being featured prominently in Public Enemy's "Show 'Em Whatcha ░░ Gotö. The original sax solo on "Darkest Light" from the Malik LP was ░░ played by Leroy Gomez, who later became popular as the lead singer of ░░ Santa Esmeralda group with the 1977 mega-hit single "Don't Let Me Be ░░ Misunderstood". After Public Enemy's usage of the song was highly ░░ praised, samples of "Darkest Light" backed numerous culturally ░░ significant songs, including "Back to the Hotel", the multi-platinum 1992 ░░ single "Rump Shaker" by new jack group Wreckx-N-Effect and rapper Jay-Z's ░░ 2006 single "Show Me What You Got". ░░ ░░ 1974 proved to be quite an active year for the band. Returning to the ░░ band name Ice, they recorded albums behind vocalists of varying notoriety ░░ from Bad Child to Nino Ferrer. They also spent enough time in the studio ░░ recording their own original music to fill two albums. The band released ░░ their fourth album (the second under the name Ice) entitled Frisco Disco ░░ (released in the U.S as Import Export). The remaining recordings from ░░ those sessions wouldnÆt be released until 1977 on the album entitled ░░ Thumpin. ░░ ░░ Mal Waldron, an American jazz composer who came to fame after performing ░░ as Billie Holiday's accompanist until her death, collaborated with Ice in ░░ 1975, employing them to back him on his unreleased Candy Girl album. The ░░ group also backed African guitarist Francois Niombo for his album IÆm ░░ Cool. Then they released a decidedly more disco styled album, along with ░░ a song reminiscent of their African days called ôA.I.E (A Mwana)ö, ░░ concurrently on a "Various Artists" formatted 1975 released LP "Tonight ░░ at the Discotheque". On this ôVarious Artistsö album they created various ░░ names for themselves; "Captain Dax", "Les Atlantes" and "Crispy & Co." ░░ (spelled in French and German speaking countries as "Krispie & Company"). ░░ As the latter they even scored two UK charts hits, a disco cover of ░░ "Brazil" in 1975 made No. 26, while "Get it together" made No. 21 in ░░ 1976. After success faded in Europe the band found luck in Japan, scoring ░░ with the mildly successful single "Dr. Beezar, Soul Frankenstein". They ░░ subsequently released the album Funky Flavored under the alias Crispy & ░░ Co. to little fanfare. Then they released a cassette only novelty album ░░ entitled Disco Vampire under the name Ice. Most of the Disco Vampire ░░ tracks later wound up on a ôVarious Artistsö album under yet a different ░░ band name, Sweet Exorcist. ░░ ░░ In 1977, their final album, Seven Americans in Paris was released using ░░ the name Ice. Having succumbed to the overwhelming trend toward disco, ░░ with the three part ôLouisiana Suiteö being the only piece mildly ░░ displaying the bandÆs former afro-jazz-rock prowess. Much of the band ░░ went their separate ways after their last recording session for the 1978 ░░ album ôNumber One Manö by Leroy Gomez, a few returning to the U.S. and ░░ recording as session musicians on various albums. Some stayed in France, ░░ working with Pierre Jaubert and his company IHP productions, backing up ░░ vocalists on many Disco albums of the late seventies and into the ░░ eighties. ░░ ░░ https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=B7owv2gl6rgtaa5mkvwnd62tgrq ░░ ░░█ ░░███ ░█ ░░░░██ █▓█ ████░ ░░░░░██ y o o v e e y o o █████ █████ ░░░░░░██ g o t t h e ▒████░ ██▒▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ░ ██▓██ ▓█▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ ████ ▒▓███ ▒███ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ ░███████ ████░ ░███ ░░░░░░░█ ░███░███░█ █░███░███ █████████▒ █████ ██ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████████ █████ █ ░░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██████████████████ ████▓ ░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ████████████████████▒ ░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓██████▒▒▒▒███████░ ░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓█████▒███████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ █████▒▒░████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██▓██▒██▓███▒ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░███░█ ░███ ▒███████ /─────────────────────────\ ░░░██ ███ ░| shouts 2 all the groups |░ ░░░░██ ████ ░| putting out |░ ░░░░░██ █████ ░| quality music |░ ░░░░░░███ ████▒ \─────────────────────────/ ░░░░░░░▓▓█████████████▒ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
