This was the track that turned me onto George Duke back in the day. It caught my ear because when I first heard it, I thought it was Bootsy. Even now when I listen to it, it still sounds awfully Bootsy-ish, lol. But then the other tracks on the album were some of the most progressive jazz I'd ever heard, really turned me out. Have been a stoned-cold Duke fan ever since. This clip is great LIVE footage that I've never seen. Thanks for sharing, and bringing back some funky memories.  | |

U weren't the only 1 who thought "Reach" sounded like Bootsy lol If u read the comic book on the backside of the "Electric Spanking Of War Babies" vynl, they throw jabs at Rick James (Trick James) and George (George Dookie)..... | |

I remember that. I used to read EVERY single little tiny thing written all over those Funkadelic albums, lol. When I look at those album covers today, I think "Who in their right mind would take the time to read all that tiny little scribble?". I know! - I know!: YOU AND I, lol. | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 Dookiefonk ... a brief but incredible & Brasilian-style livejam (forgot the tracktitle) thrown in the mix around @ 1:02, followed by another round of "Reach For It", and "Dukey Stick" performed in the studio after that. I guess this was some tv-documentary or special. clip = disabled  www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gMFcHpxAhw
