@onehitwondered.bsky.socialWith Charles Wright out front, The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band developed into one of LA’s funkiest groups. Their breakthrough, Wright’s “Do Your Thing,” came out of their loose, jam-oriented approach and climbed to #11 on the #Billboard #Top40 in 1969. #CharlesWright #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
@onehitwondered.bsky.socialWorking with Bill Cosby proved to be a major break for the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. Charles Wright soon took control and built the definitive group around musicians from his own LA group, the Wright Sounds. Bill Cosby’s support helped them land at Warner Bros. #CharlesWright #OneHitWondered
