Background notes
Archive material and source history
Odyssey came together in New York in the early 1970s, with members from the Bronx and Harlem. Steve 'Silk' Hurley and William 'Windy' Borders were central figures, handling lead vocals and songwriting. The band's 1977 debut album featured 'Native New Yorker,' which became a hit on R&B charts and crossed over to pop radio.
Their sound mixed R&B, soul, and funk, with songs like 'Use It Up and Wear It Out' showing their knack for catchy melodies. The lineup included Tony Reynolds on bass, John 'J.R.' Robinson on drums, and Gorgui Diop on percussion. Other tracks in their catalog include 'Inside Out' and 'Going Back to My Roots.'
Odyssey's music often carried a social awareness in the lyrics, set against danceable rhythms. They recorded songs such as 'Quiero Saber,' 'Amon Ra,' 'Riding On A Train,' and 'Weekend Lover.'
