  • Hey everyone, thanks for the views and feedback. To be honest, I didn't know this video was still available for public viewing! It was a school project that came out of my love for Dayton, and funk music. Thanks y'all..
    Everything is on the One

    West Dayton born and raised....Summit St (now Paul L. Dunbar). Summit Courts, Cubbie's Market, Grace A Greene, Dayton Christian Center, Greenwich Village bus, Roosevelt High School, River View Park and my protable 8 track player with Heatwave and Slave playing. .......Good Times back in the day. Dayton was definitely "The Land Of Funk" and i'm glad i lived it it.

    All these cats had some kind of music theory/education which is basically eliminated in schools now...we can't afford it is what the politicians say. CCA builds a prison every day. I'd rather face a kid with a guitar than a gun.

    Even though my home town has drastically changed, I'm still very PROUD to call DAYTON, OHIO my HOME. I was born & raised in Dayton, Ohio and grew up in the WDAO Radio Station neighborhood. Dayton, OH provided me a concrete FOUNDATION, excellent EDUCATION & OPPORTUNITIES and the most ENTERTAINING experiences that I will never forget nor trade for anything in this world. I'm a TRUE DAYTONIAN & OHIO PLAYA FOR LIFE!!!! O-H-I-O!!!!

    A historical treasure Adam, thank you, thank you. I shared this on the Facebook website Dayton History Books Online. I grew up in Westwood and attended Roosevelt High School with some of the players like Walter Morrison. The Ohio Players started as the Ohio Untouchables with the great bluesman Robert Ward and included Marshall Jones, who I see in the in Yellow Springs from time to time still. Some of the other musicians in the video were familiar to me then too, circa 1963 - 1968.

    I hung around west side in 60s and 70s really great vibes. Violence could break out over racism and there was rioting. They had many thriving black businesses and great music. So much collapsed during 80s crack and drug epidemic. Not the same since. Reagan caused a depression by removing important art renovation historical renovations and music incentives that old cities must have for Americans to thrive. Also proper policing inner city allows criminals to exploit

    This was a confusing item in my research, that I didn't really properly explain in the video. The original name was "Lakeside Amusement Park", opened in 1890 at the corner of Gettysburg and Lakeside Avenues.
    The park was seized for failure to pay taxes, and was auctioned off in 1967. It was purchased in 1968, with only the Crystal Ballroom being saved and remodeled. The ballroom was named "Lakeview Palladium", until its' closure in 1993.
    Sorry for the confusion and mistake. Good catch!

    Peace,, Yes grew up on the west side during the 70's.Overall, a great story told by Adam Greaser. The city of Dayton Parks and Recreation use to have the battle of the bands in different local parks.I went to a few of them but can't remember the names of the bands. Mainly because of the west side funk sound and of the station WDAO and all their DJ's is one of the main reasons I use to want to be a DJ'. Sure did have fun roller skating on all these jams when they use to first drop in the city.

    That marching band at 3:10 looks like the Bethune-Cookman University Marching Wildcats from Daytona Beach College. This school was founded by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune and a few little girls and $1.50. Check them out at www.cookman.edu and donate if you can. They need financial support right now.

    To be honest, it came more out of necessity. It was a school project, and I didn't have any budget for photo duplication, research dates, etc. Essentially, I used those photos as a sort of "representation" of the content rather than explicitly using Dayton-focused primary images. If I could do it again, and had more than a few weeks for research, planning and video constructing, I would do it much better. Thanks for the criticism, and good eye!

  • @benniecurrie

      West Fifth was, at one time, the "Main St" of the West Side. See Margaret Peter's excellent history of Dayton.

    @wintonian1 10 лет назад +4

    I don't think that ROGER TROUTMAN and ZAPP were the most successful of the DAYTON funk bands. The OHIO PLAYERS and HEATWAVE sold a lot more records and are even to this day known on a wider scale. They didn't mention the great ROY MERIWETHER who is from Dayton also.

    • @TheSupremeDunk
      @TheSupremeDunk 10 лет назад +1

      Heatwave is not more popular than Zapp....Computer Love charted TWICE on Billboard....when it debuted in 1985 and again in 1994

    • @wintonian1
      @wintonian1 10 лет назад +3

      Heatwave is way more popular than Zapp. Heatwave's first album sold 4 millions copies. Zapp's best selling album was their Greatest hits which sold 2 million copies. If you go check even to this day HEATWAVE has sold more records than ZAPP. I should know because I'm the only person to recorded both for ROGER TROUTMAN and JOHNNIE WILDER,JR.

    People didn’t 100% move to the west side only by choice. They were redlined out of other parts of the city, and any predominantly black neighborhoods not west of the river were destroyed by urban renewal projects in the 1960s.
