Ripple was an American funk band from Michigan. The group was signed to GRC Records and Salsoul Records in the 1970s, and scored several hit singles, the biggest of which were "I Don't Know What It Is, But It Sure Is Funky" and "The Beat Goes On," the latter on Salsoul Records, joined by the Salsoul Orchestra. The former's signature "oh-la oh-la ay" line was later incorporated into Marcia Griffiths' smash hit, "Electric Boogie (Electric Slide)."
