funktual, you have introduced me to an unbelievable amount of music since I have been following your (what seems to be) music history master class! this is set to be another person I'll have to make a playlist for! on another note can anyone that sees this tell me, what is the sample at the very start of wu tang- Careful(Click Click)?? it has been bugging me for years! thanks, and anyone interested in hip hop check out a uk rapper called 'jehst' or phi life cypher!
Well done Funktual. Your videos schooled me on Jimmy Castor and I'll never hear "Friday" the same without hearing Bertha Butt Boogie. Thank you and God bless Jimmy Castor's memory and the music he blessed us with.
It is very hard to lose a friend. The hardest part is knowing that they wouldn't want you to be sad or down about it. They are off to a whole new adventure after life kicking out some great tunes to funk to. We can only hope and pray that when we pass we will get to meat and share some best times ever with these great people
He was so much of an influence to me in my days of becoming a multi-instrumentalist.
He loved Forrrce, and showed up at many of our gigs.
When I first met him in 1981 in NYC, his unselfish deeds and caring Big-Brotherhood for "New Blood" were proven over and over. He was a genuine person all the way through. Heaven be a lil bit funkier now. Rest and jam on in peace!
Thanks for sharing. Love to the family and friends...
R.I.P. Mr. Castor, you truly blessed the world with your grooves. Funk, I can only imagine what having a fan/supporter/friend ment to him in his later years. I have mad respect for your knowledge, and appreciation of great artists and their music. As already stated, his legacy will be stronger with peeps like you around.
Awesome Vid. My Grandpa Will Truly Be Missed /3 I Made A Dedication Video For Him. Its On My Channel. If You Could Check It Out And Like That Would Be Great. Thank You 3
Last night i was thinking.. Damn im gonna have to type a message to Funktuall. "Where is my funk?" Then I awake to a Funktuall video! YAY!! Then I hear the sad news :( If im stuck on a desert island with no radio....Ill always be able to hum a Castor song! <3
Funk,Sorry you lost your friend. Even more sad the world losses another legend! You ALWAYS gave him spotlight on your top ten's. Educated the youth on how his music influenced the world! You actually gave me his number and I had the opportunity to meet him and mr.Freeze at a performance in The Mirage hotel,here in Vegas. Remember we must Celebrate his Life, Not cry over his passing. One!
also kanye west sampled one of his songs on late registration i think

I will truly miss the E Man.
He was so much of an influence to me in my days of becoming a multi-instrumentalist.
He loved Forrrce, and showed up at many of our gigs.

I'm sorry you lost your friend but I'm glad you were album to educate us before his passing on what a great music he made.
I know even must be having the biggest party right now.
Legends like Jimmy Castor never die....because his music was too strong.
