King Floyd-Groove Me.flv

[@torrencebrannon]

King Floyd, (Rst In Peace) is one of the architects of the New Orleans soul music scene. I was honored to have known him as a kid growing up in 1970's New Orleans , as he and my step father, Jackie Pettis were singing buddies. My step father was an amazing, gifted vocalist with a four octave vocal range, he unfortunately died violently at the age of 42. But as far as I'm concerned, King Floyd is one of the world's most soulful vocalist, true that!

[@naynayroxalot]

What a cool memory! Sorry to hear of your step-father's passing.

[@frosty9139]

Hey there sugar dumplin. Let me tell you somethin. What a line!

[@YaoEspirito]

One of the all time classics of the soul era. It's got everything -swing, soul, laid-back groove; it's all there.

[@lifeworksndhenterprisesllc6597]

Nawlins' best soul men and great songwriting RIP the king.

[@djrockne8138]

Damn, this song is so important to the sound of the 70s. Amazing!

[@itsyevette836]

Kevin Andrews right Andrew :)

[@razorbackfilms]

Proto rap! I’m old enough to remember being in first grade at an all black elementary school we would rap to this. Flash forward to five years ago I was with a record producer also black who tried to tell me the first rap record was kurtis blow in 1980. I said I got a c note says your wrong. Played the song he threw it down and left angry.

[@A_Pa-Plainjane]

At least he paid..that is a man who is good to his word.

[@pokeashpikachuu]

My favorite old times song ever!! the best!!

[@brotherbmp]

Almost 49 years and I still have to listen to the whole song!!!

[@xxbangemboyxx]

As you already know, if you are not old school and can catch what he saying, you will never understand one word that comes out of his mouth besides the hook lmbfao 😅😅😅😅😅 . And I'm speaking just to the people on this page right, if you like good old music like I do, I want you to like And subscribe to my channel . I will have all of the videos up by the weekend .

[@chaideelove1819]

....he had a great voice.....just real funky and soulful.............that just what I like..............

[@bigraviolees]

You can hear his influence on Black Crowes Jealous Again and even Blurred Lines by Thicke

[@marciafoster8487]

THIS A OLDIE BUT GOODY SONG

[@michellebrotherton4329]

love it

[@kurtadams3021]

CLASSIC FUNK

[@joshuablake2574]

This song is amazing and good 😊😔😭😩💕😴

[@cynthiaholmes7887]

i love it

[@MichaelJacksonzGlove]

I love his voice, he doesn't have a big manly Teddy Pendergrass voice but it's on the softer side like Michael Jackson and El DeBarge.

[@Lietiel]

"On the softer side"? He flat-out sounds like a woman. When I first heard the song, I thought it was a female singer. lol He sounds great, though.

[@monilaninetynine3811]

Lietiel I used to think this was a woman singing myself.

[@itsyevette836]

“ sock it to me mama “. ❤️❤️❤️

[@pamelamckenzie2685]

I love this I remember this.

[@krystlenackpomminh]

Love this !!!!

[@creaturebotman]

Another Talented Singer influenced by the one and only James Brown.

[@TerryHillen]

where's the band? that rhythm is sooo funky...where's the band?

[@armentavitian282]

+Terry Hillen He's singing live over a music track.

[@aim2dabone]

+Terry Hillen He is lip syncing to the original recording. It was recorded at the Malaco Records studio in Jackson, Mississippi with Vernie Robbins on bass; James Stroud on drums; Wardell Quezerque on keys; Jerry Puckett on guitar and Hugh Garraway and Perry Lomax on horns. I love the Southern Soul that still comes from the Malaco label.

[@henryjackson2357]

Terry Hillen No hay Banda.

[@TheSecurityCamChannel]

OldiesAngel Who cares Be thankful there's a clip of him.

[@A_Pa-Plainjane]

​@@aim2dabone- appreciate knowing the names of the individuals who played this. It makes it a little bit more real. As a young white boy, about 20, this song created a positive vibe in my head and an good image of domestic life. Thank you King Floyd, New Orleans & the soulful Southland. May we celebrate life and all its blessings.

[@SWANGA247]

Whooo in the hell disliked this

[@SWANGA247]

[@laurieromano5550]

For my daughter & her fience' she said yes!

[@YhwhKhaiMostHigh]

[@attygarland6909]

What show did he perform this on? Always thought he should have released as a single his remake of Otis Redding's Hard to Handle (also on the Choice Cuts album). Very groovy!

This song always reminds me of Austin Powers Goldmember

[@dakotastein9499]

i cant hear this song without picturing homer simpson and his ass groove

[@brendaadams1361]

he lived about eight blocks away from me. so 10 year old me knocked on his door one day. he answered it smiling

[@davocreative]

is this story true? damn!

[@brendaadams1361]

davocreative ..yes very true. The street name was Curran Blvd in New Orleans

[@marcuss1526]

Brenda thanks for sharing your story!!!

[@marcuss1526]

[@tompaulcampbell]

How did you go from this, Motown, and the Philadelphia Sound to mumble rap?

To You My Wife ❤️✔️💯😎

[@wickid3616]

i was soul before most soul people were born. no offense meant. i was born in a black n white world.

[@WhiskerWhippers]

I always thought a female sang this

[@augustandersen2704]

+Barfill “JJ” mogo True that brother.

[@itsyevette836]

I honestly thought this was a woman too and I am a black woman and love this song but I was young when I thought this and as I got older I just realized he had a nice voice

[@d_no_allyn_86]

@@itsyevette836 yeah but no one is saying it's good or bad. Obviously it's an awesome voice. But until I shazaamed it last night. I thought this was a woman and I'm 32 lol. I never really heard the whole song. Just in passing or like on a commercial and they only play the chorus. So you don't hear "make me feel good mama" lol. It's all clear now lol. But you're not alone.

[@PraiserJ4ye]

He looks like bobby brown

[@mikewild1822]

not live

[@Time4aKiss]

What a voice! Sounds photoshopped.

[@michellebrotherton4329]

love it
