Let's get cracking and electrophonic phunk by shock and parasite by the Reddings and Slow dancing by Rick james and Chakakahn

paligap said:

Yeah he did it. Pulled the Blowfly card.

What a lot of folks don't know is that Clarence Reid (aka Blowfly) co-wrote hits like Clean Up Woman & Baby Sitter for Betty Wright, Rockin' Chair (Gwen McCrae) and Sound Your Funky Horn (KC & The Sunshine Band).

Blowfly became an alter-ego for those more conservative endeavors.



This gem features an wacked out tune called When Doves Cum.
(writing credits are given appropriately)

The guy is over 60 years old and still out there doing gigs.



He's got a full band and even has a Ho-Fly dancer.
(he'll be out here in the LBC (Long Beach) on April Fool's Day)

Now this is definately a rare one if it is the song I was asking paligap about. For some reason, I don't know why, I have been thinking this was by General Kaine. I've been on a wild goose chase for years looking for that song.

I remember hearing "Electrophonic Phunk" back in the summer of 1982. It got very little airplay down here and very few people remember it. The few times it was played, I remember thinking "Damn that's a jam!" but I never knew what group to look for.

During that time, I was into funk and only funk, so I really loved the chorus..."We don't like country, we don't like rock, and we certainly don't like punk. All we wanna do is get on down with this electrophonic funk."

Thanks fatheadjoe.

You know I can be opinionated about some things, and that was one of them. I started that thread to see how many buttons I can push. But I still stick to my guns though.

Love those tunes! Both written/produced by Roger!

All this talk about "FUNK" and only 1(ONE) reference to CAMEO??? Cameo personified the real funk of its day!!! Cameo was funk way before "Word Up" and "Candy", play their anthology..not anything bad on it!!!

P.S. Dont forget about the Bar-Kays either!!!

There's no doubt that Cameo and The Barkays are definately big names in the funk world but the subject of this thread is "Forgotten Funk". The pop world may have not picked up on Cameo until "Word Up" but the funk world has always known about and never forgotten stuff like "Shake Your Pants", "Flirt", "Be Yourself","Keep It Hot", etc.

The Barkays were also big with jams like "Traffic Jammer", "Holy Ghost", "Hit And Run", "Freakshow On The Dance Floor", "Body Fever", etc. Everyone remembers these jams also.

Anyway, here's some "Forgotten Funk" from the two bands:

Cameo:

Cameosis
Throw It Down
Roller Skates
Knights By Knights
Style
Emotional Violence
Slyde

The Barkays:

A.J. The Housefly
Monster
Whitehouseorgy
Nightcruising
Touch Tone
Backseat Driver
Propositions
Tripping Out
Busted
Dangerous
Dance, Party, Etc.
Loose Talk
Banging The Walls
Sex Driver
Dance Your Body Desara
Missiles On Target
Freak City USA
Animal
Get Your Fingers Wet
Put A Little Nasty On It
The Slide
X-N-Yo-Sex

And this is where we differ. I hear this track as a Disco song with a killer bassline. But that's what happens when you have Marcus on the job. Trend doesn't end abruptly...it transitions. We simply draw our lines in different places. A lot of those early Disco songs have very funky basslines. You say this makes them Funk. I don't. But it's o.k.
At least this explains how it is that you are seeing/hearing your funk.

Technically Funk can be a way of life. And if you get funk, you can hear it in nature. In the way people talk, in subways, in bum fights (my favorite)...in everything. But hearing the funk in the world around you is different than listening for the the "traces" of it in music and then calling that music funk.

vainandy said:


It's true...Funk didn't just happen. It was in the air. When James went from blues progression to Vamp (in the 60's). That was more than traces...that was Origin. So in this sense you can and will hear "traces" of funk in everything 'cause there's James in almost everything. However everything that has "James" is in...isn't Funk.

If you keep dippin' the , they get soft! I like mine straight up and hardcore. I'll pass on the milk thank you.

And there we have it.

I am longer baffled. I get it. I get what you are doing. You seem to be holding on to the funk. Clinging even. It just seems that the more you stick the Funk label on...the more the Funk get's watered down.

There's hardly a funk, r&b, jazz song out there that doesn't have it's roots in Africa. But we don't call it African music. Ok....maybe VainAndokufo is using his village WiMax connection. checking in on this forum and thinking us all fools 'cause we don't know it's African.

Just as we see what we want. It's evident that we also hear what we want.

And now my contribution:

Track 11
It's better if you get the extended version.
Dont tell me I don't know my s#%!
