I’m from the Dayton area, now living in Cincinnati

So I gotta s/o

The Isley Brothers (Lincoln Heights) who gave a young Jimi Hendrix his start as their guitarist (soul)

and

Hi-Tek (West End) still influencing hip hop with the funky sound of SW OH

Ohio Players living and teaching students funk in Dayton led to many groups from the area:

Heatwave
Zapp
Slave
Lakeside
Faze-O
Dayton
Sun
The Dayton Sidewinders
Young Mods
Aurra
Steve Arringtons Hall of Fame

and more

You’d see them on ‘American Bandstand’ on a Saturday, and then on Monday afternoon you’d see them on the street. That was a big inspiration. -Roger Troutman

When they were famous, [the Players] never went to L.A. or New York; they stayed right here in Dayton. I can remember seeing them drive down the street in those new cars, seeing them living in those big houses.

‘The Ohio Players! That’s what gave all of us in the area the incentive to play.’ Troutman said of the ‘70s funk outfit best known for Fire and Love Rollercoaster ‘Babyface came from this area; a lot of people came from this area. The O’Jays, Slave. They were here because the Ohio Players were here.

Bootsy Collin’s played bass for the Father of Funk (James Brown) who started his music career in Cincinnati, Bootsys hometown

Bootsy asked James ‘what’s funk?’. James said go hard on the one and two-four will work itself out

Bootsy went on to play with George Clinton’s Parliament-Funkadelic

In SW Ohio you could run into a music legend at the grocery store. Funk lives here. youtu.be/dOlH07dR9Ak?...
