I'm talking about first generation
all the people he listened to

youre gonna have to put me onto Kool i guess

you're one year away from their debut
literally

the Jungle Boogie guys thought they were one hit wonders and that song was sort of novelty funk

my eyes can't believe what I'm reading

i dont really listen to Give Up The Funk either also novelty funk

these are almost all their "hits"

Hollywood Swinger got poached so hard by Diddy man hes the laziest sampler in history

u remember the mos song calling out him and will smith for doing that s***?

@Koala @Jerry_Seinfeld

He’s one of the best to ever do it.

yeah idk they sound like the Steely Dan of funk

What about the Commodores?

Likely the same thing wouldn't put them in remotely the same ballpark as the other guys you mentioned

what about Norman Whitfield?

The Motown stuff? Stellar of course. Did he sing?

let the dying die

@Aruji do you see what I mean with Van Dyke Parks? The way the old timey banjo keeps phasing in and out transporting you to another time like on Song Cycle

I’ll see y’all In 2027 when you’re discussing 1971

You’re one year away from some of my favorite songs I’ve been listening to at the moment

Nah we just went through the most interesting years probably be much faster now

Which? Sly?

Still waiting for your Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom reaction

You rec’d me Dillard and Clark tho

He didn’t sing but I feel like his late 60s and early 70s songs he wrote, produced and arranged for other people helped develop the popularity of the funk genre as separate from soul

Yes but the whole Fam thread hit you with Rock Bottom rec when you exposed yourself for being unaware of the Canterbury scene
