This was a hot jam by Con Funk Shun during the disco era. Anybody into this one?

You go,Vainandy....wake this place up! It's Friday,dammit!!

Damn right. I'm firing off pistols in both hands trying to wake these motherfuckers up and they're still asleep.

This ain nuttin but the funk.
They rock this shit live.

Lord guess I gotta be the one to post the video.

FUN FUN FUN let's skate.

In the pantheon..JAMMMM.

I love how Felton Pilate sings in falsetto during the verses than growls during the chorus. It's classic.

[softly]
"You can..."

[LOUDLY]
"CHASE MEH!"

That's her on the Timbales, Bill Summers added some Conga on "Not Ready".

Sheila is also on the Spirit of Love album, percussion's.
Patrice did some backing vocals on the Spirit Of Love album.

Not Ready is one of my favorite ballads by ConFunkShun.
I love Felton's falsetto at the beginning of the song.

this was a hot jam in the summer of '79

No, now that I've moved, I don't have internet at home anymore. When I plugged up my laptop, there were several people in the apartment complex showing up in the Network Sharing Center, but dammitt, they all were password protected. Unless someone moves in nearby with a router that isn't password protected (so I can bleed off their ass like I did at the previous house), I'll be without internet because that shit's too damn expensive.

Well this is just weird Andy. I don't get it, did you WANT to move?

Most definately. I was sharing a house that was paid for with a relative (my deceased mother's house) and sharing the cost of the utilities. That arrangement was not working well at all. I wanted my own place alone. The money's tight but I'm much happier.

I feel ya on that.

I dig it too phunkdaddy. Felton & Coop's vocals were tight together.

phunkdaddy said:

Have you tried on of those package deals?

StarMon said:

Weren't they?

Timmy84 said:

mmm hmm

StarMon said:

I'd like to get the Candy album on cd but i refuse
to pay 28 dollars plus for the import.

phunkdaddy said:

I know what you mean.Those imports are ridiculously expensive I paid a small fortune last year for the Japanese imports of the first four Raydio CDs.

phunkdaddy said:

Indeed! I wonder,why do these CDs always have to be "imports" anyway? Con Funk Shun is an American band! So is Raydio.Why can't their CDs be pressed and sold right here in America (for a much cheaper price)? I shouldn't have to order their music all the way from Japan!
