speaking of the Brothers Johnson....did you see them on "The Best of Soul Train" a few weeks ago?! It was an episode from 1978,they were performing "Ride-O-Rocket","Ain't We Funkin Now" and "Blam".

The other musical act was The Dells.I meant to start a thread about it but I forgot to.

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Yeah I caught that episode by mistake, I meant to turn to the Redeem Team's Gold Medal Game and ended up turning to Best Of Soul Train right before it came on. They tried to sneak a new-old episode in the rotation on us. I ended up just taping the Basketball game and watched Soul Train.

Sanpled by one half of Daft Punk for a track called 'Soul Bells' by Le Knight Club
