funk and soul to make you whole

October 27, 2008

Eddie Kendricks- girl you need a change of mind.

good ol soul.  the break down starting at 3:45 makes my head asplode.

Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes - dont leave me this way.

the chorus makes me want to jump around. it also makes me feel like i have a lot more style than i really do.
Thelma Houston’s version of this is pretty discolicious as well.

a bunch of awesome New Orleans funk dudes playing Professor Longhair’s Big Chief

there is an instrumental version of this i have with phat backing drums that Lilly Allen samples.  no matter which version you’re listening to though, that piano riff just sticks with you.

but seriously…what is up with the crowd being so incredibly motionless.  how, in the name of jebus and buddah, can you keep your body still? maybe they are sick.  that must be it.

Eddie Bo - hook n sling

I want to have that guitar riff’s babies.

Charles Walker and the Dynamites.

these guys are touring right now, and if they come near you, go check em out, its a fun time.

funky fresh.
