The band were originally formed in 1967, by then bassist, Donnie Linton, and went by the name of ‘Ben Iverson and the Nue Dey Express.’ Before the release of their self titled debut Album in 1974, they changed their name to Crown Heights Affair, Crown Heights being a neighbourhood in Brooklyn, New York, U.S.,where they originated from.

Personnel changes occurred in 1975, along with a change of record label, as they moved to ‘De-Lite Records,’ also the home of Kool and the Gang.They would go on to record a further eight studio Albums until they split in 1983.They never achieved a top 40 single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but in the UK they achieved three with ‘You Gave Me Love’ being their most successful, peaking at Number 10, in 1980.

The lyrics to ‘Galaxy of Love’ are a promise by the narrator, that if they stick by him, he not only can offer them the world, but the Galaxy as well.

‘Ladies and Gentlemen the Captain has turned off the no smoking, and seat-belt signs for your convenience, we are travelling at twice the speed of light, and are entering Warp Factor 3.’
