‘A funk in the freezer’: Keith Harrison of Faze-O, Dazz Band and Heatwave fame
Keith Harrison knows more than most about "riding high" and having to "let it whip."
The Grammy Award-winning artist tells “What Had Happened Was” host Amelia Robinson about his life as a member of the funk bands Faze-O, Dazz Band and Heatwave.
The Jefferson High School grad breaks down how much money he never earned from the hit song “Riding High,” and where he thinks all those millions went.
Keith says he’s experienced band infighting, jealousy and a whole lot of fun during his long career in the music industry.
Keith describes being dazzled by Clarence "Satch" Satchell from the Ohio Players and his fish bowl table and explains why he used cocaine, heroin and nearly every other drug in the book before giving it all up.
He won a Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal Grammy Award with the Dazz Band for 1982’s "Let It Whip” and penned “Let It All Blow.”
Keith will play at the Levitt Pavilion at Dave Hall Plaza in downtown Dayton 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3. The concert follows a festival celebrating The Dayton Sister Cities Committee’s 50th anniversary with Oiso, Japan.
The Dayton area was hit 15 tornadoes on Memorial Day. Want to help the community recover? The Dayton Foundation’s Tornado Relief Fund (daytonfoundation.org) and The Foodbank (thefoodbankdayton.org) are accepting financial donations.
