Benjamin Bassoon Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 This popped up on a YouTube feed and it's terrific. Woods Empire released just one album in 1981, Universal Love being the standout track. I think that Paul Jackson Jr. (Herbie Hancock) had the bass duties. It's a wonderful piece of funky soul music. If Silk Sonic do a second album they should cover this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Bassoon Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Talking of Silk Sonic, they did a pretty good version of this, originally recorded by ConFunkShun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure his the drummer in the iconic live flood album recorded in Japan 1976. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 This is my current listen. We all know about the bassist but as bass players I think we're uniquely placed to appreciate a monster drummer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
