Thanks to Cinnie for hipping me to Kings Go Forth, brilliant album. This is my fave cut...

I like these guys too....

daptone and them, they have been doing this for so long... it's nice to see them get some light. other than that, (mostly) europeans have copped the sound. they have studied it more than people in the states, who are encouraged to follow trends.

Everything to a TEE, not just traditional!

This Dogg Master cat, he should easily be the sole heir of Roger Troutman's legacy right now.

you are SO correct. how they pay tribute to james brown... WE don't even show him respect like how the japanese do!!!

Yes, it is. Does it remind you of Sly Stone's "If You Want Me to Stay?"

Thanks to everyone for sharing these artists. I hadn't heard of most of them.

Bellanoche, "Funky Goldman" reminded me of Jimmy Sommers - "What Am I Gonna Do" initially. But I guess Jimmy could've "borrowed" from Sly too

You won't hear these on R&B stations in the USA, not even the "adult urban" ones. Their idea of R&B is Jaheim, which is the same old Luther Vandross/Anita Baker buppie slow tempo or "smooth jazz" music, just with thug lyrics.

I know..I dont listen to the radio anymore unless it's internet streamed stations or cable stations. Really need to hear this stuff.
