A Best of Soul Train episode aired with him on it not too long ago. The guy was pretty cheesy. He was like a toned down George Clinton.

Wasn't this the same episode with brass construction and peaches & herb?
If so it was one of my favorites minus captain sky.

Basically a poor man's Bootsy (played bass, sang, was tall & had crazy clothing lol )

Did three or four records (I got three of his albums) with a bunch of good cuts, but like elem said, he never really took off.
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.

Not many people know that this is Mr T. Not a bad singer but did better with the acting I guess. Rocky 3 is one of my favorite movies.

My only exposure to him was that episode of "Soul Train" that aired a while ago. I thought the song was simply decent. Well, I'll put it this way, it's much better than what would be considered the best of today's music.

Yeah,I saw that Soul Train episode.The guy seems kinda strange and his song wasn't really that great.He came across as a George Clinton/Rick James wannabee.

I have another song by him,"Super Sporm",on a disco compilation CD.It's a cool jam.

Super Sporm is marked down in hip hop history as the most used break in dj history
