Crown Heights Affair, an American R&B, funk, and disco group from Brooklyn, New York City, were formed in 1967. Initially known as Ben Iverson and the Nue Dey Express, the band were renamed after a neighbourhood in Brooklyn. Signed to RCA, they recorded their self-titled first album as Crown Heights Affair in 1974, featuring their first single "(You Can't Bend My) Super Rod". Line-up changes followed, along with a move to De-Lite Records in 1975. Their collaboration with Polygram Records led to global success with singles such as "Dreaming a Dream", which reached number one on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart and number 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975, and "Every Beat of My Heart". In the UK Singles Chart, they reached the Top 40 in 1978 with "Galaxy of Love" and reached number 10 in 1980 with "You Gave Me Love". The group split up in 1984. Notable members who passed away include Bert Reid on 12 December 2004, Raymond Reid on 21 May 2013, and James "Ajax" Baynard on 20 February 2015.
