Originally known as Nue Day Express (uh...!), the '70s funk/R&B/disco group Crown Heights Affair renamed themselves after a neighborhood in their native Brooklyn. Crown Heights Affair meshed together catchy choruses, twisty-tied sax breaks, fiery flugelhorns, and starbursting synths that gave Sly and the Fam something to step to. Their biggest hit, "Dreaming a Dream", reached #1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1975, overshadowing other gems from their catalog like "You Can't Bend My Super Rod" and "The Rock Is Hot." Though somehow unable to earn celestial acclaim in the US, this particular diamond, "Galaxy of Love," did manage to climb the UK's Top 40 in 1978.
