They were the band concept of innovative drummer Bill Curtis that wished to merge the "fatback" jazz beat of New Orleans into a funk band. They had seminal hits like "(Do The) Spanish Hustle", "I Like Girls", "Gotta Get My Hands on Some (Money)", and "Backstrokin'". Their 1979 single "King Tim III (Personality Jock)" is sometimes considered the first hip hop single.
The Band is the second studio album by the Band, released on September 22, 1969. It is also known as The Brown Album. According to Rob Bowman's liner notes for the 2000 reissue, The Band has been viewed as a concept album, with the songs focusing on people, places and traditions associated with an older version of Americana.

The Fatback Band’s Bill Curtis: ‘Street Music is what I always called it because it came from the top off my head and we never rehearsed. Photograph: Gems/Redferns. Street Music is what I always called it because it came from the top off my head and we never rehearsed, says a spry, 84-year-old Bill Curtis, the longtime session-drummer and maestro behind The Fatback Band. Everything was just raw energy. King Tim III came about because basically we were doing an album and I didn’t hear a single, he laughs. I told my partner Jerry that we needed a hit otherwise ain’t no one was gonna hear the album. So I said, ‘Jerry, what if we do a rap song?’ Jerry was like, ‘I have a friend that lives in the projects who raps.
