Thanks, WBPTV for showcasing The Funky Meters. Sissy Strut is my favorite by them as well as a steppers vibe. 💞🎼

Don't forget about Little Old Money Maker, a very underrated track.

The Meters was the most underrated group in history!!! I absolutely loved them!!! Thank u so much!💖💖👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@sandramorris420]

Mr. Art Neville had a nice 1962 Ballad written by The Late Mr. Allen Toussaint, and before The Meters, called “All These Things.”

Frankie Beverly once said the Meters were a inspiration for the making of Maze .

[@RonaldWilliams-lp3bg]

You know what bro that's funny that you just mentioned Frankie Beverly's name I just saw this particular message I just got through typing on this page about this group that he was in a year or two before he started maze it's called Raw Soul man check this out whenever you have a chance go on KZbin and pull up raw Soul live at winterland 1975 they got a track that they made call I need you and it's about 13 to 14 minutes long but man they sound just like the early Earth wind and fire from around 73 to 72 man that group is funky and I mean extremely funky nothing like the maze sound but most of the guys in this band formed maze wow believe me you won't be disappointed trust me 🤘🥁🥁🎶🎵

The epitome of Seventies Funk, thank you for honouring The Meters! Toussaint and Sehorn were hugely influential in Southern Soul music

Chicken Strut

[@marvinwhittaker]

Cissy Strut is the only song I can identify with, keep them coming man

[@shawndiggz8904]

Handclapping Song! The Meters are one of the most funkiest bands ever!

[@lakesiabeavers4161]

They had plenty of songs, I can’t even choose. This was a very good video, too bad the songs were copyrighted, I would have loved to reminisce on their songs. Great job WBPTV!!! 💐💐💐💐

[@keynind2905]

being from New Orleans and meeting George Porter (coolest MF EVER), they don't have not one bad song. I have most albums they have made, and some things that they have done with others... But honestly, these guys don't have a bad song... Sissy Strut is a song that everyone musician has to know to play in New Orleans. These guy are and were AMAZING!!! R.I.P. Arthur Neville!!!!

[@teel714]

The only Meters instrumental I have heard (and LOVE) is "Sissy Strut"!

[@michaelmitchell5098]

Sophisticated Cissy!!!!😊

[@RonaldWilliams-lp3bg]

Hey bro I know this may be off the topic of this video but I want to ask you something you know about Frankie Beverly and maze right well there's a group that Frankie Beverly was in a year or two before he started maze which is called Raw Soul man I would love for you to do a video on that particular band because they have a video of them live on KZbin at winterland from 1975 and man believe me when I tell you this that group was so funky it's unbelievable man they got a song called I need you what is about 13 or 14 minutes long live and they sound just like the early Earth wind and fire around 72 to 73. During that time I bulshit you not seriously check them out man Raw Soul 🤘🥁🥁🎶🎵
