The early 80's I was in my early 20's and there were so many funk bands on the radio and so much fantastic funk/soul music being played. WTF Happened? The artists of today sure aren't what they used to be. I couldn't tell who's who today. All i want to hear is 70's, 80's, and early 90's funk/R&B/Soul music 24-7, and it's all i listen to. Screw the rap crap today

That FUNKY BASS player's skill set is in full command quite masterfully and certainly has a dominating musical effect through out the entire song: The beat in conjunction is absolutely SOULful and with the surrounding cast you get nothing more than TRUE talent in perfect harmony. Unfortunately this is missing in most of today's so called music. Thus entertainment at its best is really all in your choice of THROW BACK sounds.
