Tony Maiden

Of course, Parker would go on a few years later to launch his own successful band, Radio, which focused on hardcore funk before being mellowed out and crossing over to pop.

There's some dispute that the lead licks here might actually have been by Al Siner, an original band member who would soon leave to be replaced by Tony Maiden and Rufus.

Even if that's true, the rhythm guitar is just as wicked.

Either way, Parker's performance is undeniably dazzling, yet he is more than matched by Shaka's wild and sultry vocals.

During a mind-blowing set that felt like it was going to be rooftop-blowing when Shaka unleashed her trademark screams, at one point during a song, I don't remember which song, she walked out onto the tabletops and sampled my french fries from my basket of fries.

Shaka had my fries! It was unreal.

I mentioned that during my recent interview with Tony Maiden, and he remembered it, saying, that was you? Yes.

Yes, it was.
