Faze-O was an American funk band that emerged in the late 1970s, under the guidance of Ohio Players' member Clarence Satchell. The band, best known for its laid-back, spacey type of funk, is most recognized for their hit "Riding High," a staple in the genre. Faze-O's music, characterized by hypnotic grooves, smooth vocals, and innovative use of guitar effects, played a significant role in the evolution of funk music. Despite their brief discography, their influence can be traced in many subsequent R&B and hip-hop productions.
