In addition to this being a great funk album, I always remember it as one of those "surprise" records.
Seemed like we usually had SOME kind of advance warning about stuff 'bout to be released (so you had a "hit list" you'd show up at the record store lookin for).......but this one was just THERE. Remember grabbin it & NOT even a little disappointed. They came hard with this one (yeah...cue Andy....rimshot.....l ).
F'n great band. [Edited 2/18/15 2:13am] Funk Is It's Own Reward | |

Kleeer was always under the radar but their singles generally got airplay in my area. I know Running Back To You used to get a lot of airplay. Get Ready had little to no promotion. I happened to hear She Said She Loves Me on the radio without realizing they had a new album out. Don't laugh at my funk

Yes, that entire album is great. All those jams already listed and don't forget this sexy slow jam.... . . . . And this one here.... "I have an entire collection of Lawrence Welk records to start me off.". . . . . Hell, even the damn album cover itself is hot. And yes, I have jacked off to it. . . Andy is a four letter word. | |

And there it is
Second only to Henderson's "Slingshot" though. Hell, I'm straight & I agree with THAT one! Funk Is It's Own Reward | |

They played the hell out of that one in my area. That one had some help from Rick James on it. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I'm gonna have to look for their albums next time I go shopping for used vinyl.I only have a 'Best of' CD by them. | |

Yeah, that's recommended (the full catalog on vinyl). Interesting thing though...you can skip the 12"s for them (IMHO). They weren't big on great re-mixes /extended versions. Funk Is It's Own Reward | |

Stonesee was obviously a filler song and a continuation of De Ting Continues. I really clearly feel the funk. Sincerely Really clearly feel the funk. My feet are moving in a primitive manner. I feel the funk. I know that Michael Henderson cover was your favorite but that shit should have been banned in record stores and he should have been fined for wearing turquoise drawz.

He wasn't wearing anything shocking or out of the ordinary at that time. Back in those days, many, if not the majority, of men wore the bikini type swimsuits. Actually, the swimsuits that looked like shorts were in the minority in those days. And the good thing about those days was, men weren't shaving their pubes like little bitches so it was common to see hair going into the top of the swimsuit and coming out by both legs at the bottom. Hell, I remember back in those days, for a cheap thrill, I used to buy a six pack of beer and drive to the pubic swimming pool and park outside the fence and just watch the men. That thrill is gone though those days because they all wear swimsuits past their knees and the few that wear the bikini types shave every hair off their body and look like bitch ass drag queens.
