Anyone remember the 70's Funk group, Steve Hightower & the Hightops. The members incuded; Clyde, Pretty Tony, T-Bone and of course Steve Hightower himself.


I think they only released 3 hit singles; "Break Me of a Piece of that Funk" "When The Funk Hits the Fan" and the funk ballad "I Willll Never Funk Again" but they all went gold.

Sure, When the Funk Hits The Fan was a classic:

"When the funk hits the fan/Gon' smell like chittlin' and ham!"

"We gone funk to we sweat, gonna get all stankin' and wet"


That's my favorite line from When the Funk Hit's the Fan.

Somebody's been watching too much Steve Harvey.

Let's not forget about their lesser known hit "I will never funk again". the Hightops were bad ass in their day!

Reading the title I thought, "Steve Harvey show"... but few posts in I was like wait a minute?? Talking about it like a real group, got me thinking I'm crazy

And who can forget Pops Williams & Temptones??

Funny, (very funny, actually came on today on Comedy Central) but it looks like this thread has turned into recording artist on TV shows.

OMG, I was completely confused untill about post 13 or somthing!

My favorite performance has to been when they performed with Kene & Kel.

"When the Funk hit's the fa, Pharaoh give me back my land"

The episode with Derrick Love just came on.

"And I will never Funk ... again"
