Harlem River Drive was a unique American fusion band, primarily active in the early 1970s, that combined elements of Latin, soul, funk, and jazz music. The band was comprised of several notable musicians, including Eddie and Charlie Palmieri, and is often credited with creating the first Latin-soul fusion album. Their self-titled debut album, "Harlem River Drive", remains a landmark recording, with its socio-political themes and innovative blend of musical styles. Despite their brief existence, Harlem River Drive left a lasting impact on the genres of Latin and soul music.
