Buzzard's Original Savannah Band was a big band- and swing-influenced disco band, formed in the Bronx, New York. They are best known for their US dance hit, "Cherchez La Femme/Se Si Bon", from their self-titled debut album. The band was conceived by half-brothers Stony Browder Jr. (February 7, 1949 – October 6, 2001) and Thomas Browder (also known as August Darnell, born August 12, 1950), with the former writing music and the latter lyrics.

Buzzard's Original Savannah Band (album). Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band is the debut studio album by Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. It was released in 1976 by RCA. It peaked at number 22 on the Billboard 200 chart and number 31 on the Top R&B Albums chart.

Buzzards Original Savannah Band goes to Washington. After the release of a third album, James Monroe HS Presents Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band Goes to Washington, the group fragmented, with Darnell and Hernandez going off to form Kid Creole & the Coconuts. Browder reorganized and issued a Dr. Buzzard's Savannah Band (dropping the "original") album titled Calling All Beatniks! in 1984. William Ruhlmann, Rovi.

Buzzard Is a Very Unique sound, using a big-band approach with R&B and jazz elements. It is a shame that I only know of 2 album by Dr. Buzzard and one by Kid Creole. I feel it was well worth the price even though they are repeats from his original Savanna Band.
