Shack Up - Banbarra

Washington DC based disco/funk group Banbarra's sole known single, "Shack Up" was recorded at Track Recorders and released on the United Artists label in the mid 1970's, and while obscure, has had a lasting dancefloor impact, turning up on numerous compilations, reissues and in hip hop and drum & bass samples. The group was apparently a "one hit wonder" featuring songwriters Moe Daniels and Joseph Anthony Carter. Billboard denotes the interesting fact that in 1976 "Shack Up" hit as high as #4 on the Club Play Singles chart and spent more than 8 weeks on the Disco trackcharts.
