BioThe Wings were a Nigerian rock band formed in 1968. Led by Emeka Jonathan Udensi, the group was an early pioneer of the Afrobeat genre. The band gained recognition for their fusion of rock and African rhythms, creating a unique sound that captivated audiences. Their album "Kissing You So Hard," released in 1974, solidified their place in music history. With tracks like "For You," "Lost Love," and "Make Me Happy," they showcased their exceptional songwriting skills. However, the band disbanded in 1975 due to a tragic car accident that killed two band members, Spud Nathan and Okey Uwakwe. The Wings left a lasting legacy in Nigerian music, influencing future generations and contributing to the emergence of a vibrant rock scene. Their contribution to the development of Afrobeat and their impact on Nigerian music cannot be overstated.
