Bootsy Collins for ever... excellent bass and best music quality over 40 years ago, best times i remember

[@TheDeysiRae]

Bootsy is STILL the man. Kali Uchi has made her career sampling him.

[@signalsoldier]

That bass slide at 1:17 is so timely 👌🏿👌🏿. It's those lil marvels that make this a funk masterpiece.

Crazy being a teenage white boy in an infantry battalion in the 70s that had sharp divisions of White, Black, and Brown but absolutely grooving whenever the brothers fired up the Funk. 64 now and this music still sends me.

[@danibo47]

No 💩

[@ZoY33]

West coast or just Dre’s production?

[@mother-fng-bonswa3612]

Inspiration? its a straight up loop and sample rip

This song touches my spirit in a special way. This is beyond funk or disco, soul, gospel. This is spirit music imo.

[@kylegreenwood8826]

Agreed

[@anagram8]

Correct, because this is their interpretation of, "swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home." Written by Wallace Willis in the 1800's. It's deeply soulful and touches on all levels of experiences past, present, future...known as the now-now

[@anagram8]
