As a white teen growing up in the 70's, I never could get enough funk. The old school music of the 70's and early 80's was the best, especially funk and soul. Sure do miss those days. Best days of my life...and the best music, too!!

God I miss bands like Con funk Shun. The eighties had the best of the best. There are just too many bands to mention. The Gap band, Rick james Cameo, Bar Kay’s , Whispers, midnight Star, The Deele, RFTW. The Time. It goes on and on. A era that will never come again. Today’s music I’m sorry to say just plan sucks.

And what put the icing on a cake is that they played their own instruments, not this Push a button on a computer to make a drum sound to make a guitar sound because if you put it in context, someone had to play those instruments to begin with in order for the computer to imitate them. I love how Felton pilot goes from playing the trombone to sing into going back to playing the trombone pure talent.

Man you ain't lied, I totally feel you! This is the stuff my dad raised me on, and he was a very stoic old school black man. He was a Vietnam vet, who grew up in the Pratt City neighborhood of Birmingham Alabama before the end of segregation. His dad was a coal miner in the Pratt mine. He was usually a VERY intense and serious man. Get some of his funk or soul music goin and he'd genuinely be happy, smiling, singing along. Which was a very rare sight, some of my favorite memories of my pops, God rest his soul.
