All aboard! It's "Soul Train"...
The instant cure for post-Christmas blues is to type "Soul Train line" into YouTube. Here are some random samples to dance along to:
"Release Yourself" - Graham Central Station:
"Love Train" - The O'Jays: http://bit.ly/5eFVnr
"Get Down" - Curtis Mayfield: http://bit.ly/4JkXhG
"Rock Steady" - Aretha Franklin: http://bit.ly/8QkCf7
"Doin' It To Death" - Fred Wesley & the J.B.'s: http://bit.ly/82Wb9O
"Mighty Mighty" - Earth, Wind & Fire: http://bit.ly/5myId1
"Daddy Could Swear" - Gladys Knight & The Pips: http://bit.ly/60H0nS
"Ballero" - War: http://bit.ly/5WBK5F
And here's the official Soul Train YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/8DbmYp
this is my fave
from the soul train dancers.
You Don't Have to Go
the mighty Chi-Lites
ain't we funkin' now
there was a youtube clip of KC playing Get Down Tonite on a show featuring Dolly Parton, which was wild, but I can't find it. So here's an alternative clip
Bring on Jack
SAY IT LOUD
Tell Me Something Good
tell it Chaka baby
we used to call this one
what cha gonna cook for me, when the chips are brown?
and it's got Steve Ferrone, Anthony Jackson and the Brecker Brothers
There's a whole lot of rhythm goin' round
Let's get some P-funk up in this bitch
and, of course
it's so high you can't get over it, so wide you can't get around it
I'm gettin into it man, you know..
I'm getting into a groove here. This is another big chunk of funk, from probably my favourite rhythm section:
From a similar
era and style. Not in same class as Edwards/Thompson/Rogers but not a bad bass line right here - Midnight Star and "Midas Touch"
hadn't heard that one
but heard plenty like it in 83. The sounds of Solar Radio and Robbie Vincent. I was very much involved in it all back then, playing the pubs and clubs around London.
Another great player was Louis Johnson, Quincy Jones' favoured bassist at the time. He shows his chops on this little number:
Mmmm nice
bit of pluck and slap above
More smooth syncopation from another star - Atlantic Starr "Silver Shadow"
