The third groundbreaking funk series by Dynamite Willy and the Funk Freaks, titled "Incredible Funk," is a three-part musical masterpiece that takes listeners on an unforgettable journey through the magical realms of funk. Following the monumental success of their previous funk series, the band kept the groove alive, delivering more waves of dynamic funk energy that solidified their legendary status.

"Incredible Funk (Act I)," the first release of the series, stands out as a pure, feel-good funk explosion. With lead guitarist Darnell "Roach" Dawson stepping into the spotlight, his soulful vocals float effortlessly over a richly textured funk backdrop. Supported by the harmonious ad-libs of the Funk Freaks, the track showcases the band’s unparalleled musical diversity. Leroy Stinson delivers yet another hypnotic bassline groove, while Benjamin "Ben Ben" Harold’s dynamic drumwork drives the rhythm, pushing the funk to a higher plane and making it impossible not to move.

Released in the fall of 1974, "Incredible Funk (Act I)" became an instant funk and R&B classic, skyrocketing to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Its infectious energy and pure funk vibe made it a staple in the funk community and a fan favorite. Often debated as the best of the series, narrowly surpassing Act III, Act I remains a testament to the band’s unmatched artistry.
