The 1976 Crossover Anatomy: Wild Cherry wrote "Play That Funky Music" after an audience member in Pittsburgh demanded "play that funky music, white boy." Driven by an E-minor syncopated pentatonic riff (E2 → G2 → A2 → Bb2 → B2 → D3), it crossed over from R&B charts directly to #1 on Billboard Hot 100 on September 18, 1976, shipping over 2.5M physical units.
