Background notes

Archive material and source history

Lakeside formed in Dayton, Ohio in the early 1970s, with members including Mark and Stephen Shockley, Fred Calhoun, Otis Stokes, and Norman Beavers. They took their name from a local lake. In 1977, their album 'Fantastic Voyage' gave them their biggest hit with the title track, which reached the Top 10 on Billboard's R&B charts.

Their sound mixed R&B, soul, and funk, with songs like 'Hold On Tight' and 'Something About That Woman' showing their upbeat, melodic approach. They faced some legal disputes over royalties in the 1980s, which slowed their recording for a time.

Beyond 'Fantastic Voyage,' Lakeside had other tracks like 'Magic Moments' and 'Baby I'm Lonely' that kept them on R&B radio through the late '70s and early '80s. Their music stayed grounded in vocal harmonies and danceable grooves.
