Was meant to be seeing them tonight. Gutted!!

[Reggaebass]

Heard this today, Great tune from 1983

 

[Ricky 4000]

So, there I was, funkin' away on my false-jazz bass, through the Zoom 036 [Funk Wah] patch, and thinkin 'it don't get much funkier than this!' -- Then this came on:

Damn, she's funky! 😍

So is that drummer. Snare is tighter than a very tight thing in the middle of tight week.

Don't get no funkier than this IMHO. The riff that David Dyson plays at around 3.40 is something I've shamelessly nicked and shoehorned into anything requiring some funk.

To me, that’s the perfect slap tone ☝️

Apologies if it has already been posted, but this. Brilliant transitional phase before the Rubber Band. Whoever uploaded it to you tube however, wasn't allowed on the mothership for their schoolboy spelling error 👏

I  love this whole album, but this version of the all time classic by Sly Stone kills it. 

 

[P-Belly Evans]

Nobody has mentioned this either yet (unless I missed it - if so apologies). Or hair etc etc.

"Sucks teeth" - Great groove. I really like that, even though I'm not normally a fan of slap.

Has the pleasure off seeing George Duke in the 80’s, he was playing keys for story clarke! Phil Bailey guest vocals, just after he had done easy lover with Phil Collins

was a good gig!

That was the funk that got ya' right there! 🤩

Ida slips into a lush finger-style groove here, after a minute or so of the slap:

Thanks Ricky, that’s So good , I see this one on her site

Ida - oh I love some Ida, the Prince influence will stay with her forever I expect.

Talking of... this is one of the stankiest faces ever pulled.... that crowd, that gig... that bassline... one can only imagine the level of satisfaction Rhonda Smith had playing this... if it doesn't start at the right point, jump to 6m 50s and wait for it. Ooof.
