You guys know what i'm talking about. Bands/artists like Klymaxx, Rockwell, The Bar Kays, Rick James, Starpoint.

Who else is digging that sound? I might go and get an s- curl!

I'm digging it! But I wouldn't go as far as getting an S-curl.

oh man why not? that shit needs to make come back!

so which artists do you like from that genre?

dancerella said:

The s-curl is making a slight comeback with Black teenagers. I saw some kid the other day with a s-curl mohawk and then there's the standard style where the entire head is curled witht he sides faded out...

ABeautifulOne said:

no way! see that sounds hot to me! then you gotta rock some acid washed jeans with it!

dancerella said:

Shalamar , The System , Andre Cymone , Klymaxx , etc.

dancerella said:

I don't know about the jeans but it's on the rise...

DarkSideOfBeauty said:

Besides the barbershop scene, Eddie thinking "F*CK YOU TOO" is a greeting, the big man singing in falsetto, Randy "Sexual Chocolate" Watson and Arsenio in drag ( ), this was my favorite scene from the movie:

Just let your Soul Glo...

DarkSideOfBeauty said:

those are all some great artists!

Timmy84 said:

i wish that Randy "sexual chocolate" Watson would have released an album! he had it going on! i thought it was so funny when the older guy was like "he good"! "that boy can sing"!

I never have care for jeans too much. They are too plain looking and Andy loves shine and flash. Check out the guy with the blonde hair bending over with the red flap on his shirt. I'd love to see those come back.....



Also, the guy sitting on the floor in the black and white outfit with the white boots. His hair looks great too.

dancerella said:

And the other old man going "yeah good and terrible ".

vainandy said:

LittleBLUECorvette said:

hell yeah you should definitely do it! you gotta get some short ankle boots too! i'm trying to get some for the fall/winter!

bboy87 said:

that is so hot you gotta send me pics after you've done it. bring back the s-curl damn it!

dancerella said:

This is veteran funk band the barkays. This photo was from their 1984 album dangerous. The guy who you are talking bout with the one black pants leg and the other white is their lead singer larry dodson who to this day rocks a short blonde crop. This photo demonstrated the band's move to the punk look back in the early eighties. Cameo also dressed punk during this period too.

i remember back in the day when my dad use to use the at home S-Curl kit. My mom used to be so pissed with him because she was always buying new pillow cases!!!!

bboy87 said:

What type of curl? A short one like Ginuwine or a CURL. I;m still thinking between a process(conk) or a straight up curl.

That's The Barkays I've been hipping you too. That's the back cover to their 1984 "Dangerous" album....the one that includes the song, "Freakshow On The Dancefloor".

This is their wildest look ever. You should see the actual album cover. In this picture (from the internet), there is some Chinese writing in a block that is covering something up that you can't see. The guy sitting on the floor in the middle with his legs spread, has a bulge in his pants and he looks like he is sporting an erection.

Yeah, Larry will be wild until the day they bury him in the ground.

The Bar-Kays are some bad muthas. These cats rocked any kind of hair style in the 80's and still funked hard like nobody's business with cuts like: Freakshow On The Dance Floor, Your Place Or Mine, Sexomatic.

That's the Bar Kays? damn, i'm embarrased because i've been listening to them a lot lately and didn't even recognize them. wow they look so cool. i may need to see if i can find that album too. is it good?

MsLegs said:

that song is a masterpiece imo! so fucking good it hurts!
