This is the kind of jam that I really love. It is one of the funkiest jams ever. If this one don't make your ass shake, then you ain't got no rhythm in your bones. Uptempo, hard jammin', and funky as hell.

Give it up.

right on point JAM!!


oh, and someone else can come up with the trivia about MJ's "Wanna be startin something"

I've seen the guy live about 15+ years ago... a hot & sweaty experience!

Didn't Micheal use the chorus from this tune? I remember hearing this song a lot as a kid. Funkadelic's "Standing On The Verge" has some similarities groove wise. Yeah if you can't move to this, you have no soul.

Oh mann. Are we on the same wave length or what?? I was going to put this thread on today. This song is the "Bomb". Has a jazzy feel to it.

I read on Kool& the Gang" web site they were supposed to do this song in 1973.

I love this song but I couldn't name another song by the guy.

Great tune indeed. Manu never really had another American "Hit".
He's played with Fela and my partner has done gigs with him.

Of course we are. You are "Angie" and I am "Andy". We're so similar, we are like brother and sister.

Remember we were discussing a local "Soul Train-like" show in my area back in the day called "Black Gold"? Well, when the show first came on the air and didn't have it's own original theme song yet, "Soul Makossa" was the show's first theme song. Then, they came up with an original tune by a local group afterwards when the show got it's feet off the ground. This should give you an idea of what kind of funk we were kickin' down here.

I'm sure when you hear it, you'd recognoize "Pata Piya" from the Electric Africa album tA mentioned

Okay. They picked a good song for the show.
