Daily News | How ‘Here Come the Sixers’ became the hit record three Delaware County friends once dreamed of
. It plays at wedding receptions, bars, and on Anthony Gargano’s 97.5 FM sports-talk show where “Play the song” has become a rallying cry.
It might not have the power of “Fly, Eagles Fly” but “Here Come The Sixers” has found its place nearly 50 years after three buddies from Delco recorded it. Once discarded, the song is now a fabric of the team. In a way, it is the hit record that Fresh Aire was chasing.Stomp your feet McDonnell played the drums and Richard Sherwood played the Hohner Clavinet — the instrument Stevie Wonder popularized — that starts it off. They wanted the song to have the pace of someone dribbling up the court.
They finished the song in a week, recorded it on a four-track recorder at Childress’ apartment, and brought it to the Spectrum. Williams called the team employees into the empty arena and played the song over the PA system. It was approved. Fresh Aire recorded a master at The Sound Room in Upper Darby, had it pressed on vinyl, and it played for a few seasons as Dr. J warmed up.Fresh Aire produced songs for other teams but none of them seemed to stick.
“The band never made enough money to survive,” said Rocap, who went to Springfield High and Combs College of Music.
