[3][4] The roots of the band lie in the predecessor group, Faze 3, a trio that included bassist Tyrone "Flye" Crum.
In addition to bassist Crum, the original members of the group that officially took the name "Faze-O" were Ralph "Love" Aikens (guitar/vocals), Roger Parker (drums), Robert "Bip" Neal (lead vocals/percussion), and Keith Harrison (lead vocals/keyboards).
[5] By 1977, the band had completed recording their debut album, with contributions and production from members of the Ohio Players, releasing Riding High that year.
In 2011, the group performed in a line-up featuring original members Keith Harrison, Robert "Bip" Neal, and Ralph Aikens at Island Park in Dayton, Ohio.
[7] All five original members reunited on December 17, 2015 at DATV Studios in Dayton to discuss their music and reminisce about their time as a band, as part of a series of interviews conducted by local deejay Stan "The Man" Brooks to commemorate the opening of Dayton's Funk Music Hall of Fame and Exhibition Center.
