Documented collaborators

Dayton Flyers is a quintessential post-disco funk group hailing from Dayton, Ohio. Active primarily between 1980 and 1985, the band left a distinctive imprint on early 80s dance floors with a blend of shimmering synths, punchy grooves, and heartfelt funk. Led by Rahni Harris as vocalist and keyboardist on later material, the project also featured notable collaborators, including a guest appearance by Bootsy Collins on Krackity Krack from the 1982 album Hot Fun. While the act has been largely inactive since the mid-80s, Dayton Flyers remains a touchstone for fans of the era and collectors of influential funk. We’ve got you covered with a clear biography, a highlights-heavy discography, and a look at touring history and potential future activity.
