And from what I'm hearing, the funk is still alive in 2009.

Hell yeah! Thesis proven!

That's why it kinda humors me when people say everything's dominated by "hip-hop", well NOT REALLY... You just gotta search! I don't know WHY folks don't come here and just admit they listen to it! The ORG is made for MUSIC, mayne!

@ the song before last talking about "don't give me that funky chicken". I don't want no damn Church's Chicken either!

Show is and thank ya.

Alrighty, on this Friday's Midnight Soulstice (June 26th), we'll pick out some Rare Soul tunes ... with rare meaning not the obvious choices which everyone knows and loves.

We'll play a wide spectrum from mid-1960s to late 1970s Soul, all songs that will be recognized by few people on this board, so please let us expand your mind.

It'll be two full hours of fantastic Soul music, so tune in ... and we'll prove that a song doesn't have to be known to be a timeless classic ..

Listen at www.wrir.org Friday, June 26th, 11 pm - 1 am Eastern Time



A little taste ... some of the better known of the lesser known ..

AH SHIT! I'm looking forward to that one!

Timmy84 said:

Me too.

MrSoulpower said:

awww hell... Im ready

I"m really feelin POets of Rhythm and Kings Go forth. "Im not too keen on the 80's style overly-synthesized funk. I like Funk like the 70's and even 60's funk. Anymore new bands(beside the aforementioned) that's like that? BTW BEST FUNK THREAD EVAR!!!!!

Sandino said:

Pretty much all artists on our new Funk show are late 60s/early 70s style. Download the show, and you got two hours of new music. It's free.

I'm not into overly sythesized 80s Funk either.

MrSoulpower said:

This week's Soulstice will be hot, when we'll present The Fatback Band on our show, once of the greatest Funk bands ever. Period.

The Fatback Band is most known for their Top Ten R&B hits, (Do The) Spanish Hustle, I Like Girls, Gotta Get My Hands on Some (Money), and Backstrokin'. Their 1979 single King Tim III (Personality Jock) is considered by many to be one of the first rap singles.

But being so incredibly funky on the Soulstice, we'll focus mainly on Fatback's early material, mainly those Funk monsters released on Perception (for samples, scroll down to the YouTube clips). Fatback founder and drummer Bill Curtis will join us live on the show to discuss the group's legacy with us.

Tune in this Friday, July 3rd, from 11 pm until 1 am Eastern and listen live at www.wrir.org

We might do that.
