Crown Heights Affair was an R&B / funk / disco group from New York, founded in the early 1970s.
Originally known as Neu Day Express, the group took their new name from a district of their native Brooklyn, and consisted of Phil Thomas, William "Deadbeat Dad" Anderson, Howard Young, Bert Reid, James Baynard, Raymond Reid, Muki Wilson and Raymond Rock. Signed by RCA they recorded a self titled debut album in 1974.

Personnel changes followed, along with a shift to De-Lite Records, the then home of Kool and the Gang. The record label's subsequent liaison with Polygram Records saw the group gain worldwide audiences for singles such as "Dreaming A Dream", "Every Beat of My Heart", "Foxy Lady", and "Dancin'".

"Dreaming A Dream" hit Number one on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1975, (plus Billboard Hot 100 #43); and they topped out at #2 on the dance chart later that year with "Every Beat Of My Heart" (Billboard Hot 100 #83). In the UK they made the Top 10 in 1980 with "You Gave Me Love".
