Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band was one of the most original musical ensembles of the disco era. They were formed in the Bronx in 1974 by Stony Browder Jr., his brother August Darnell, singer Cory Daye, Andy Hernandez, and Mickey Sevilla. The concept of the group was the re-creation of a '30s dance band with witty lyrics and a disco beat, as evidenced by their 1976 self-titled debut album. It produced the dancefloor hit "Cherchez la Femme" and went gold. The follow-up, Meets King Pennett, was less successful. After a third album, the group fragmented, with Darnell and Hernandez forming Kid Creole & the Coconuts. Browder reorganized and issued a Dr. Buzzard's Savannah Band (dropping the "original") album in 1984. ~ William Ruhlmann
