okay..I have a theory that a very young Narada Micheal Walden is on drums..due to the fact the name (Walden) is listed as co-writer on the extended version (I stand to be corrected). Plus, the drums are highlighted on this record in a major way which supports my theory. The original version has vocals of a man and woman giving loose dialogue in the first four bars..I believe this is the Tom Moulton mix. This is the jam!
Ronald is lovin’ them maracas..lmao! Big Rudy got them claps to a science..Ernie was and will always be a pure BEAST (in my Post- Hendrix Top 5 Greatest Guitarist EVER next door to Eddie Hazel/Mike Hampton..Van Halen and Slash are decent..). What’s cool about this clip is that it’s the rarest of clips with all six brothers and The Great George Moreland on drums. They brought the amps and all..poor roadie..
Im STILL trying to find The Isleys Live @ Yankee Stadium (71′) DVD..I have the original vinyl (good luck finding it..super rare).
Dooley’s Junkyard Dogs!! I dont think this song was ever released, its not even listed in his catalog. The bridge part was later used on his “comeback” record called “Jam 1980″. This recording sounds like the last of the Pee Wee Ellis era before Bootsy, Catfish and The New JB’s were formed.
Boosty is freaking it on this one!! I consider this a serious Jazz Funk piece.
This was after Boots/Catfish left Mr Brown.. a little bit before they joined the P Funk army. Bootsy also recorded under the name “Boots”. I have an import of some rare Westbound Recordings I got in my early college days..havent seen that record since then. I NEED this 45, this a serious local pressing..good luck on I Tunes..
OG Swag. That suit & the great Jimmy Nolen!!
Mother Popcorn vs the ST kids! They are getting it! You can tell the “Popocorn” was ‘The Funky Chicken” in its earliest form.
