Don McLean - American Pie
Great ... I still remember (some of) the lyrics to that song. The Day the Music Died.

For today ... Mr. Byrd morphs from hard bop into funky jazz fusion.

Donald Byrd - Cookin' with Blue Note at Montreux.png

The first album, from 1964, was still in bop mode and uses a gospel choir as
an interesting vocal jazz instrument. The latter two are both 1973 - in full fusion/
funk mode. Mr. Byrd was somewhat unique in that his fusion was on the far side
of funk. Most of the other fusion artists had more of a rock or jazz influence.
