1970s R&B Classic of the Day: Chuck Brown and The Soul Searchers "Bustin' Loose"

Going back to 1979, this go-go classic was the first such song to reach No. 1 of the Billboard R&B Singles chart. The song was famous for Chuck Brown's yelling in the chorus, "I feel like bustin' loose. Gimmethebridge, now! Gimmethebridge, now now!" A somewhat forgotten funk classic.

Not forgotten by everybody.

This 2-disc comp has stayed in the rotation in my car for at least the past 6 months...



...The Best of Chuck Brown

Not only does it have his standard Go-Go fare, but it includes a live Bonus Track called Can't Nobody (Do me like Jesus)
(done with full church choir and backing band)


Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers were part of the homecoming entertainment at FAMU the year Bustin' Loose was hot.
They almost shook Jake Gaither Gym off its foundation they rocked the placed so hard.

Great one. Wasn't this one on Soul Train recently? I fear most of the young'uns might know it best as sampled by Nelly for Hot in Herrrrre.

We agree on this one!!!!! The rhythm section is too funky.
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams.

.....and he has Nelly to thank for bringing this song to the youngsters. Cause if, "Hott in Herrrr", isn't a direct ripoff of this song, then something is wrong with my ears.
