#Funk
From “Black Messiah”
D'Angelo and The Vanguard - Till It's Done
Lovley.. and haunting
D'Angelo - Unshaken
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
Did I hear a thunder?
Did I hear you break?
I can't quite remember
Just what guided me this way, oh
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
The pines, they often whisper
They whisper what no tongue can tell
He who drinks from the deep water
May he know the depths of the well
Well
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
One of my favs by Di Angelo
Devils Pie😃
👍
For a slice of the devil's pie
All in line, all in line (What? Huh?)
For a slice of the devil's pie (Yeah)
All in line, all in line (I don't give a fuck, I ain't goin' out for the—)
For a slice of the devil's pie (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

#OTD November 28, 1977
Parliament, released their sixth studio album, “Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome”
Damn they made it funky!
My aunt would play this album back in the day and man did it go over my head for the most part.
But this is the album that included their hit single “Flash Light”, which features a synthesizer bass line played on a Minimoog. It was impossible not to notice and enjoy this track.
It’s a concept album, which was not unusual for the group. George Clinton wanted to create a “funk opera”, and he delivers as usual.
The original album contained a poster of the character Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk, as well as an 8-page comic book that explains the concept behind the LP.
Ethiopian Parisian jazzy funky worldbeats.

🎧 RIP #JeanKnight — 1943-2023
In the summer of 1971, "Mr. Big Stuff" raced up the Top 40 and Soul charts, and was Billboard's #1 Soul Single that year. The record sold more than 2 million copies and was nominated for a Grammy.
"Mr. Big Stuff" was Knight's signature song, but she made many other soul and R&B records.

Music Monday , there’s a link to my Linktree in my profile with links to my musical output. Mostly electronic, ambient, Funk and Dance music. Linktr.ee/jaypeach53 #ambientmusic #electronica #mastomusic #fedimusic #funk #ambie
for the past few months my #musical focus has been #remixing a bunch of classic #funk #basslines over the Go-Go drum beat, and learning a few #Jazz standards in parallel. but a couple of weeks ago I ran through an #original suite of acoustic #bass #guitar compositions all in the same minor key, that i had put together earlier this year. after not touching it for so long it felt very fresh again, so I decided to record it :) here's the Dropbox link to the #FLAC file:

@mrcompletely and a dope #french #funk version of Jr Walker’s “I’m a Roadrunner” that I uploaded long ago, from Richard Tate on Vol 2:
Our friend Wilbard (who @mrcompletely and I dearly hope pops up here sometime) once gave me a collection of absolute earworms of #jazz, #funk and #psych from #Québéc in the 70s. My efforts to get it on YT have been stymied by silly copyright claims, but here’s a great jazz/funk track from the Al Baculis Quintet off the first volume:

Morning jog while listening to Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters live in 1975. James Brown is great and everything, but #funk in the hands of highly-accomplished #jazz musicians is a whole new level. It almost makes you giddy in parts.
Plus you get covers with giant cosmic fish, spirit dancers, cyclones and jazz dudes dressed as astronauts.

For your #TuesdayJazz listening pleasure, here is The Budos Band. They are an #Afrobeat, #funk, #jazz, #soul, #afrosoul, #psychedelicrock group from Staten Island, New York. And here they are playing live at Fort Warden/Port Townsend WA, one of my favorite places.

#Zapp's "More Bounce to the Ounce" (9:31), 1979.
Throughout the 70s, music lovers would stay up late on Friday nights to watch Midnight Special. Live performances of great artists from all genres.
They’re digitizing that series on YouTube, slowly releasing various performances. Today they dropped “Tell Me Something Good,” by Rufus. They’re a funk band that was basically the launch of Chaka Khan’s career.
Check it out:

"Yes We Can Can" is a #funk song written by #AllenToussaint, and first released by Lee Dorsey in 1970. It was popularized when it was recorded by the #American #RAndB #girlGroup the #PointerSisters.

Having watched the first episode of First Ladies of Hip Hop on BBC IPlayer (which was great, incidentally), I have now tracked down the track (much sampled) that was being used in the back ground.... so here it is some classic 70s #funk from Mandrill with a great #African flavour.... (and yes, if you like the Jungle Brothers, you'll recognise this from their first album).
Have a good day, everyone!
"You Dropped a Bomb on Me" is a #funk song performed by #theGapBand, released in 1982 on producer #LonnieSimmons's label, #TotalExperienceRecords. In addition to the single release, the song was featured on the band's 1982 album #GapBandIV.

Fishbone released their self-titled EP
Got this the day it came out because I’d heard the ultra-festive track “Party At Ground Zero” and knew I had to hear more.
It combines some of my favorite musical styles (punk, funk, metal, rock, and ska) and features a large line up of musicians playing horns, keyboards, guitars, etc.
Huge energy, and wild, often silly lyrics. Perfect for 15 yo me. I’d play it for anyone who would listen. I like how the album flows through different styles.
Not sure I have a favorite track, but I often play "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F." for it’s great guitar work and interesting lyrics 👇

#NowPlaying: #ACertainRatio - ACR Loco
2020 UK issue on turquoise #vinyl.
I also bought this in the record store sale yesterday. It's cool how this was randomly packed in varying colours with differing rarity. I was unlucky and got the least rare colour, but I don't mind as I think this is the coolest one. This album hearkens back to the time around acr:mcr, whereas their later 1982 more to Sextet. I'm quite pleased after this first listen already! And Denise Johnson's on it!
#NowPlaying: #ACertainRatio - To Each...
2017 European reissue on 2x red #vinyl at 45 RPM.
When I walked past my frequented record store today I saw there was a massive sale going on and the record I saw lying in the shelf for months was 12 euros cheaper than normal. So I had to buy it. This is my favourite a✓: album, it blends #PostPunk and #funk so perfectly, with chilling brass sections and funky rhythms. The Fox for one starts off with an amazing drum riff!

Has anyone seen Meshell Ndegeocello live this year? I'm a huge, huge fan and she's playing here next month, but I gotta say, her current album is my all time least favorite thing she's ever done. The show will likely be great, I know that, and I'll prob end up going, but I'd love to hear a show report from recent times... She is a goddess of #music but I'm just not feeling the most recent release #jazz #soulmusic #funk
Was feeling drained due to recent/still resolving stomach issues, but then this song showed up in my feed and lifted me up.
