BACK IN STOCK

The Ebony Rhythm Funk Campaign evolved from four musicians who were best friends and all left high school together to play in a band back in early 1970. Matthew Watson, Tony Roberts, Boobie Townsend and Ricky Jackson were soon joined by Lester Johnson after his tour of duty with the US Army came to an end. Shortly after that they added Pam Tanner, Henry Leon Miles and Ron Hedricks to complete the original Funk Campaign.

The group hit the road and headed West. From 1970 through 1973 they lived in Hollywood, surviving on air, popcorn and hope, Finally, in 1973 they released their first album for MCA under the production of Wayne Henderson. But the fires of home were a strong pull on the stuggling group so they returned home to Indianapolis in 1974.
