On last week's Midnight Soulstice radio show, we went all the way down South and took you back to the origins of Soul music.

This week, it's all about the Funk! On this Friday's show, we'll break out my rarest and most original Funk 45s, our most valuable treasures. We haven't done this yet on the show, so this is the moment Funksters have been waiting for. We wanna show you that Funk isn't just about James Brown or Parliament (hear that, Graycap? ) This is gonna be the real thing! You'l hear Funk records that you have never heard before. We hope to turn you on to a new face of Funk.

Tune in this Friday from 11 pm - 1 am Eastern Time, listen live on www.wrir.org



Make friends on MySpace - www.myspace.com/midnightsoulstice

Get a taste of what you'll hear:

All the People - Cramp your style


Bootsey Phelps and the Complete Strangers - Fun in your thang


The Vibrettes - Humpty Dump


The Fatback Band feat. Johnny King - Keep on brother keep on


Larry Ellis & the Funk Hammer - Funky Thing P. 1


Lee Austin - Screwdriver


Darongo - Let my people go

Man you be doing it!

Dude, people here have been asking me to break out my rarest shit. This is gonna be it. Rare Funk madness. I don't even play a lot of these records at club gigs because I'm afraid of losing or damaging them (I once had a case with rare 45s stolen out of my hotel room). This is a rare change that I'll bring a lot of them and play them.

Finess is gonna love this one!

Ann Alford - Got to get me a job

Screwdriver's been on the want list.

IAintTheOne said:

Good luck. Meaty has a copy, too ... maybe he's gonna sell it to you for like, say $300-400? I'm gonna hold on to mine.

MrSoulpower said:

Lmao Meaty wouldnt sell it..well its meaty he just might

IAintTheOne said:

I'm sayin'. Meaty is one of those diggers who'd resell if the price is right.

Okay, another one on the more mellow side ...

MrSoulpower said:

Oh I know.Last time I stepped in there he gave me a decent deal on stuff. I gotta hit his spot again at some point probably before June.

funny I said "yessss" when it clearly should have been on this song:

MrSoulpower said:

Where are the synths and the drum machines?

novabrkr said:

the future

Oh please, this shit sounds like the blues.

novabrkr said:

This happens to be Funk! Maybe you should go back and take music 101.

novabrkr said:

Seriously ... you need to go back to school and study Funk. Do it ... do it!

But all they taught us was classical music! And that shit had no synths either.

novabrkr said:

I think you have listened to too much of Prince's funk.
