The Dazz Band is an American R&B, funk band whose popularity exploded in the early 1980s. Emerging from Cleveland, Ohio, the group's biggest hit songs include the Grammy Award-winning "Let It Whip" (1982), "Joystick" (1983), and "Let It All Blow" (1984). The name of the band is a portmanteau of the description "danceable jazz". The Dazz Band grew out of Cleveland, Ohio, in 1976 stemming from the jazz fusion band Bell Telefunk
Lyrics "Dazz Band - Joystick"
Download MP3. Dazz Band.
On 1983's Joystick, the Dazz Band is a lot more high-tech than it was in the late '70s, but is still quite gritty. Tracks like "Straight Out of School," "Rock With Me," and the hit single "Swoop (I'm Yours)" find the Dazz Band meeting the demands of the electro-funk market with pleasing results - anyone digging Prince, Midnight Star, and the System in 1983 could easily get into the Dazz Band as well
Dazz Band - Joystick. Come turn me on, get it on. Baby, I'm your joystick. That you want me to do.
