The Pharaohs were a slammin funk band out of Chicago in the late 60's/early
70's who would later go on to form part of the core of EWF.

The Pharaohs were led by Lui Satterfield....

Here are the players on the song "Pharaohs Love" by the Pharaohs
(taken from the liner notes of the compilation album I have called
"Original Raw Soul")
