Let’s do it old school

with flash back tunes from ’70s disco / funk / dance band-

Heatwave.

 

…

Founded in London, England by U.S.  serviceman Johnnie Wilder-

the band was international in composition:

members hailed from England, the U.S.,  Spain, Czechoslovakia

as well as  international in scope of fame:

recording several chart topping songs.

the band’s all here!

…

The band featured Johnnie Wilder and his brother Keith Wilder

as lead vocalists.

…

Sadly, in 1979, founding member Johnnie Wilder

was permanently injured in an automobile accident,

which left him paralyzed from the neck down.

He did remain as producer.

…

As a collective, the band had plateaued in the mid ’80s.

Members changed-  moving on to

other musical projects / associations and the “heatwave” had cooled.

However, by 1988-  Heatwave had re-emerged

with Keith Wilder again in lead.

…

Thankfully, the band still continues to bring “the heat”!
