Yes, you're right. But some young guys try to produce again 80s funk music. Here this french guy named Dabeull: youtube.com/@dabeull?si=dSc4SjmziSio_mlE

[@theNerve_theAudacity]

In 1981: I was still too young for the club scene, but by then, I had already been flipping the radio dial for a few of my formative years by then. I still remember the very first time this dropped on WBLS's Ken "Spider" Webb show, and have loved it since. I'm proud that I was born and raised in NYC during such a progressive time in music. Fast approaching 52 now, and I miss this level of musicianship as a relevant component to society in general.

[@SMnY]

I agree 💯%

[@MichaelWilliams-iy6mi]

I second that I first heard this record in a club called Pegasus in nyc,then later in Justines,Bentleys,Silver Shadow etc the 80's was the best in music so diverse
