5 Facts About Odyssey’s Biggest Hit

Odyssey’s biggest hit was “Native New Yorker,” not “Good Times.” The song reached No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977.

“Native New Yorker” was their only top-40 pop single. It remains their most recognized song.

The group recorded soul and disco into the early 1980s. They released several albums after their 1977 breakthrough.

“Good Times” is often mistakenly thought to be their biggest hit. It was actually a later, less successful single.

Odyssey’s sound blended smooth vocals with disco rhythms. This style defined their late-1970s peak.
