[@djtrishm]

how do you retain all this knowledge!

[@Multi1628]

Always enjoy your show as there is always the added benefit of listening to great music as you present musical history - so interesting! Further notes related to this current present: Gloria Jones other great classic, Heartbeat another Northern soul bestie, inspired Jimmy Somerville's 1994 Heartbeat. She was married to Marc Bloan, T. Rex himself, wrote 70s disco classic "Haven't Stopped Dancing." You could do a whole segment on Gloria Jones, song-writer. Speaking of writers, Sir Mac Rice was the writer of Mustang Sally, as anyone with the Wicked Pickett 7" can see under the title: (Rice). Speaking of Yvonne Fair, she was one of James Brown's special early female singers (see Lyn Collins), & her "I Feel Good" was released 3 years prior to James Brown's "I Got You" (same label King, same writer, Brown). Fair is but a handful of artists that sang duet with Marvin Gaye (1975). Has Lezli Valentine ever been given song-writer props for "Love on a Two-Way Street": hers 1968, Moments 1970, Stacy Lattisaw 1981, Alicia Keyes 2009. Eleventh Hour: great dance album in the same vein of Disco Tex & the Sex-O-Lettes. Please DJ FUNKTUAL: more tunes, more history - DAVEDJ

Hey, Funktual, 2 questions for you: 1) Whom do you like better: Dorothy Moore or Merry Clayton? 2) What percentage of your collection of 45 RPM 7" records are made of polystyrene versus polyvinylchloride? Also, could you make a video sometime explaining the difference between the two substances so that people can avoid getting stuck with the terrible sounding, easily worn out styrene records?

[@FunkyDopeBrother]

Do The Players Association - Footsteps. Great cover.

[@fivedeadlyvenoms1]

Your kung fu in great old school music is very good. I'd like you to teach me- what essential equipment would you recommend in this Bluetooth digital age to become a decent DJ? Right now I am just parsing your vids, picking songs I like, and going with a portable Bluetooth boombox and Spotify. I know you live for vinyl, but I am more interested in the sampling/DJ/speaker equipment you use, and is there anything out there for novices with special regards to portability yet block rockin beats?

[@lutalutamedia]

Should be called "No Funkin way"

[@ASDuling]

Temptations! and The Eleventh Hour totally threw me off, i was not expecting that. At all.

[@brown550]

Dude...... The Eleventh Hour #NFW

[@whiterice42]

Was that "hup, two, three, four" in War sampled by Beastie Boys? It sounds familiar.

[@Lousson2695]

Please include Tammi Terell's "All I Do".....

[@gtaylormade1508]

check out Gloria Ann Taylor "World That's Not Real"

[@BeatStylist]

Where's the "no freakin' ways"?
