Old Schoolers....do you recall the summer of '81? shake it up tonight....ooh ooh... show you how to party right (yeah) shake it up tonight...ooh ooh... show you how to party right
[Edited 9/22/05 6:27am] More Summer of '81 Fun.... "Paradise" - Change "When will My Love be Right" - Robert Winters & Fall "Numbers" - Kraftwerk "Yearning for your Love" - Gap Band "A Little Bit of Jazz" - Nick Striker Band "We're in this Love Together" - Al Jarreau "Whatcha Gonna Do for Me" - Chaka Khan "When Love Calls" - Atlantic Starr "I'll Do Anything for You" - Denroy Morgan Forgot the name of the dance tune by Bohannon, but it kicked-ass! I still hear it on the radio. I loved the summer of '81. I was entering my senior year of college - ah, the memories. '81 wasn't as great as '84, but it comes close. |

"Don't Stop" -- K.I.D.
Not sure whether it was a summer release, but 1981 is the copyright date on my 12" copy. Oh, and I'll probably get flamed for this by knowledgeable funk fans, but I like the track "Connections and Disconnections" that was released in 1981 under the name "Funkadelic." George Clinton had nothing to do with the album... it was released by three of the original Parliaments who'd left the Mothership. It's currently in print as a reissue under the title Who's a Funkadelic? (The original release title was briefly 42.9% and quickly changed to Connections and Disconnections.) Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position. |

ALL N ALL - Earth, Wind & Fire FUNKENTELECHY vs THE PLACEBO SYNDROME - Parliament GO FOR YOUR GUNS - Isleys ASK RUFUS - Rufus & Chaka Khan GAMES DAMES & GUITAR THANGS - Eddie Hazel REACH FOR IT - George Duke HEAVY WEATHER - Weather Report Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy, Baby! - Bootsy's Rubber Band RIGHT ON TIME - Brorthers Johnson SLAVE (debut) IN FULL BLOOM - Rose Royce (offical debut) LIVE AT THE LONDON PALLADIUM - Marvin Gaye BRICK - (their 2nd album) COMMODORES - 6th album; blue sky with logo; street-named ZOOM Plus folks were still buzzing off SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE from the previous year. Damn! that was my college sophomore year. test | |

There's some decent tunes on C&D. This falling out within the PFunk empire was actually kind of funny to watch. Like a Keystone Cops thing with folks stumbling over each other. The other "Disconnection" was drummer Jerome railey's MUTINY a few years earlier. test | |
