Sugarhill Gang ~ Funk Box

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Their first album has some great soul as well !

That's what i always dig about the Sugar Hill productions. Great mix of rap & songs on that label.

Sylvia Robinson's background, when she started in soul music herself, has no doubt been an influence.

Oh, okay... hmmm

Not sure if this might help: http://www.dailymotion.co...1981_music

It used to be on the site of orger jayquan

His current site is THE FOUNDATION , although i couldn't find the video there. I guess because he updated and reconstructed his site.

I can see the pre-video truck ad just fine, but when the song video comes on, there's no visual, just the music.
