slightly. There are songs that are similiar. One done by P and the other done by BK's. I heard it over the summer (my brother and I was pulling out some songs) and I can't remember what the titles were but both songs had the same beat.

Dodson is more like Leroy Bonner (of the Ohio Players), imo.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

I know he didn't mean they look alike, but I'm just taking this opportunity to spread the funk message over here at Music and More. Rarely is there discussion about the Bar-Keys in this forum wink

I think that U may be talking about the Prince song "Billy Jack Bitch". That song sounds so similar to The Bar-Kays hit song "Hit and Run". I am a really big fan of the early Bar-Kays.
U should get the Bar-Kays 1981 album "Nightcruising".
It is a really GOOD ALBUM and there is a song on it titled "Backseat Driver". It is TOO FUNKY!
U can find it on vinyl at GEMM.COM

Thanks, and I have plenty of BK. And no, those are not the songs. I'll check them out over the weekend, then I'll let you know.
