Background notes
Archive material and source history
Five Fingers of Funk came out of Detroit in the late 1960s. They put out a few albums over about ten years, with 'Autumn Blue' arriving in 1971. That track, along with songs like 'Comin' Out The Cellar' and 'Funky 97', gives a good sense of their sound, a mix of funk and soul with tight vocal harmonies and a solid groove.
The group included Ronald Miller on lead vocals and guitar, Melvin Davis on drums, Michael Reed on bass, Mark Davis on keyboards, and Wallace Drake on saxophone. Their lyrics sometimes touched on social issues, which drew some attention at the time. They weren't together for a particularly long stretch, but a handful of their recordings have stuck around.
