The original Con Funk Shun members have stated they are honored to have Silk Sonic remake their music.

[@velboone6041]

They sure did

[@faith2xxx]

They said they're going to return the favor and cover one of Silk Sonic's songs.

I do remember Bruno saying that before he and Anderson started working together on the SS album, he was in a dark place. They work so well together because there is a genuine friendship and love between them and it shows on the stage. They are phenomenal and it's a joy to get to witness them as a group in real time.

[@clarissamendoza8322]

Yeah. I immediately thought of his friend Phillip Lawrence. He writes with him. He needs brotherly support when it comes to music I guess.

[@mommatia6095]

I'm very familiar with Bruno sharing this in an interview. He and Anderson has created a bond over the past 5yrs

[@ihavespoken4555]

@@mommatia6095 It's a beautiful thing to witness. And after reading that article about Anderson's childhood, I'm so happy he has someone like Bruno in his life to keep him smiling.

I'm beyond obsessed with Silk Sonic. Every performance they one up themselves. This is my favorite performance by them. I saw them in March in Vegas...you gotta go to the show. They added more dates. Money well spent.

[@nursem65]

Their live performances have turned out to be even better than the recorded tracks.

[@bandietonbegrepen4673]

Bruno has been paying homage to different eras in music his entire career. And that's what I love most about him. He's always putting people up on game to how it's done and where it started. I also love that Anderson is becoming more of a household name, even though he's been around for a while and is a complete beast by himself. More people know him now and see how slept on he's been.

[@wegap2012]

Agreed. Very happy for Anderson. He is a phenomenal artist in his own right and this attention and prestige is well deserved for him as an artist.

[@zanohoriamazo1]

Mike Jack, Whitney, Prince, James Brown, Maurice White, Marvin, Aretha, Jackie Wilson, David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, & more would all be proud.

When you say it feels like they're kids on stage you're spot on. Bruno said in several interviews that recording this whole project felt like being a kid again when you're in the garage working out the parts, Andy on the drums, him on the guitar.

[@debbiea4786]

I agree! They should perform on every last award show there is! LOVE me some Silk Sonic 😍🥰💜

[@chi2twn]

I THINK they have performed on every televised award show -- of note -- as the OPENING ACT starting with the Grammy's last year 2021, singing "Leave the Door Open." Correct me if I'm wrong please.

[@DNAConsultingDetectives]

Indeed...they need to perform on every award show for the rest of time. This 65 year old can NOT get enough of Silk Sonic. Always been a Bruno Mars fan and Anderson is just making it better. Bruno has a deal with Disney for a musical film. Can't wait for that!

[@deneengrant2086]

It’s the white shoes for me. So seventies!

[@wbish3]

Went to the Silk Sonic Concert last week and it was EVERYTHING! Best concert I've EVER been to. I immediately went home and bought tickets to see them again in Aug.

[@puffing2500]

I feel the exact same way, buying them for august again!

[@lifejourney3086]

when Bruno hits that note.....who ever he loving on better get a clue cuz I'm thinking he's hitting that note for ME!😍 And he is better LIVE on this!

[@123joseg321]

That look on Brads face at 7:46 screams “it’s just not fair” on how Bruno sings, and I totally agree man…

[@ruthfoster1579]

Without Anderson….there would be no Silk Sonic!! It’s a Duo and it works because they both contribute and have created something MAGICAL…they are just awesome 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾

[@bartonbagnes4605]

They are smooth as Silk Sonic.😁

[@tonzyjc]

Absolutely love it! They took a photo with Janet at this award show and I thought of how proud she must feel.

[@rydellgarcia]

Gotta agree with the high note! He did it better than on the recorded one!!! Geezz

[@craigblakes5499]

They have brought real R&B back. MJ and the other great artists would be very proud of them. They made this classic song their very own, and the group who made this song first, Con Funk Shun, said that they love it. And that's huge cause the lead singer Michael Cooper did his thing on the original. Dru Hill also did this song, and it is good, but not like this. I'm glad that these fellas are bringing it back.

[@peanutforever2191]

I am 46, so I saw some of those "old greats" back in the day. And I am pretty damn sure they wouldn't simply be proud of these guys, they would be jealous, too. They have perfected EVERYTHING. AND they are SMOOTH AF. Nothing compares. I never thought Bruno could get better than Bruno, and he has, with Silk Sonic. F'ing legendary.

[@5339kimhall]

I totally agree. The energy that Anderson and Bruno feed each other is absolutely magical❤️I am a 58 year old woman and can’t stop listening to this album!

[@sissyj64]

Omg Spring it on me so get on board of the Loves Train 🚆 Silk Sonic is on fire 🔥 😍

[@adudley27]

This is my dad & aunt’s favorite song by Con Funk Shun. He played it for her when they went to visit her at the nursing home. She loved it! And my mom thought it was so accurate, she was shocked when my dad & I told it was Silk Sonic after they come back from their visit (I live across the yard from them). She even argued saying, “Their’s No Way,” until I pulled it up for her on KZbin. Lol

[@kempissongster21]

Absolutely the most thoughtful, mature, meaningful, and appreciative review of this performance I’ve seen. The best. Much gratitude.

This is from when musicians entertained us. They played instruments and really would sing! I am so happy that they created there own lane.

Yours has been the best review of this performance (your first I’ve watched, so far). You touched on everything I thought of, the dancing, which was so tight! Seems easy, I’m a dancer and it’s not easy to do, the costumes, the lighting, the vocals, the era, brought back to a new audience (maybe better, in some ways). You didn’t sing over it, thank you! If you stopped it, it was at necessary points. You really know how to critique!

Dan B Too many to mention, but here are some: Anthony Hamilton, Music Soldchild, Joe, Maxwell, Avery Wilson, Gregory Porter, etc. These artists have grit and their own style. They didn’t just simply learn riffs from other r&b artists. The irony is, BM truly appreciates r&b music; he has studied it, celebrated it and I believe he would agree with me. Please listen to more than pop music to arrive at your opinion.
