Sound, stage & company

Documented collaborators

You've Got a Guy presents The Fatback Band, a cornerstone of disco-funk who helped shape early hip-hop with infectious rhythms and undeniable grooves. Formed in 1970 in New York City by Bill Curtis, the band evolved from a tight New York outfit into a global sound that fed club floors and radio waves alike. From their breakthrough single Street Dance (1973) to later disco-funk anthems, The Fatback Band blended swagger, brass, and relentlessly catchy hooks. The group’s influence spans generations—UK success with I Found Lovin’ and Spanish Hustle, 1980 hits like Gotta Get My Hands on Some (Money) and Backstrokin’, and a 2023 induction into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame for their lasting impact on American music.
