 Notes  
     One-hit wonders Wild Cherry was led by Rob Parissi (singer,
     guitarist, songwriter), who originally formed the group in 1970.
     Influenced by the likes of the Yardbirds and Sly & the Family Stone
     (and named after a flavor of cough drops), the group played around
     their hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, and even inked a recording
     contract with Brown Bag Records (led by former Grand Funk Railroad
     manager Terry Knight).
     But the group never issued any albums for the label and split up in
     1975. Understandably dejected, Parissi turned his back entirely on
     music, selling all the band's equipment and for a while, managing a
     local steakhouse. But it wasn't long before Parissi's interest in
     music returned and he formed a new version of Wild Cherry with a
     whole new lineup, including Mark Ausec (keyboards), Bryan Bassett
     (guitar), Allen Wentz (bass), and Ronald Beitle (drums).
     "Electrified Funk", Cherry's second album, wasn't a huge seller but
     it's a generally respectable collection of rock-influenced funk and
     blue-eyed soul. The LP gets off to an unimpressive start with "Baby,
     Don't You Know," which is nothing more than a poor man's "Play That
     Funky Music." However, when Cherry rips into "Dancin' Music Band,"
     "Are You Boogieing Around on Your Daddy" and the
     Commodores-influenced "Hot to Trot," this album wins listeners over,
     reminding them that there was more to Cherry than "Play That Funky
     Music".
     Also appealing is Cherry's remake of "Hold On," a ballad that they
     had previously recorded for their self-titled debut album of 1976
     (which was the only Cherry album ever reissued on CD).
     Unfortunately, "Electrified Funk" has long been out of print, and
     considering Cherry's one-hit-wonder status, it's hard to imagine
     Epic reissuing the album.
