Play That Funky Music by Wild Cherry
Although the band, Wild Cherry, never caught their big break, they did have a hit in the song, “Play That Funky Music,” which rose to the top of the charts in 1976. Ironically, the idea for the song came after an audience member at a club shouted “play that funky music, white boy.” When the band’s frontman Rob Parissi heard it, he turned it into a song.
