Hey! I can't let the post double-century go by without a celebration of your staying power as much as mine. Older readers may remember we once had a regular 'Get The Funk In Here' feature hereabouts of a Friday, and with Saturday arguably an even funkier night of the week I thought I'd dust the old concept down for another spin as a way of thanking you all for the good times we've shared. *weep*.
I was going to do this as a zip but when I tested it, it looked like it'd take about an hour to download, so mindful that you'd probably rather be getting yourself outside of a large glass of Saturday night Chardonnay and unzipping your Significant Other instead of a bunch of mp3 files, I've gone for the usual track by track approach.
The recommended running order is as listed.
Make lurve not war. And play loud.
Curtis Mayfield - 'Back To The World' (1973)
Shuggie Otis - 'Sweet Thang' (1974)
Ramp - 'Daylight' (1977)
Terry Callier - 'What Color Is Love?' (1972)
Curtis Mayfield - 'Can't Say Nothing' (1973)
Peace, out.

my mrs is just about to explode with that devil bug so i'll be dancing solo and unzipping a bottle of southern comfort waiting for the inevitable and preparing myself for much of the same. bugger.

ReplyDeleteOnly hard liquor and the love of a good woman can do this.
ReplyDeleteShout outs to Simon and Marcy - good to have you here.
Smooth, stomping and slighty modish. Marvellous. Great to see Shuggie getting a spin up too.
