[TheDfunkadelic]

@timmy841212 sorry my friend that's micheal hampton

[timmy841212]

@TheDfunkadelic Thanks but Eddie was credited for the album. I could've sworn he AND Michael were on it though.

[ericbuchanan]

In Detroit thinking about renting a hall and throwing a dayz of wayback jam with old school classics like this with some zapp/roger, tom browne,whodini,heatwave,ojays,­tempts,cameo,etc,etc......you get the point.....think it would go over well?

[ZILLA810]

LOVIN THIS SHIT......

[Moneylandman626]

To all of the funkateers. No more needs to be said.  THE SHIT!!!!!!!!!!

[ptrlmn]

This is straight back in the day funk....love it

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

@ptrlmn

Right on!

..With no chaser.

[BabyBeastie1]

Longest guitar solo ever?

[saborlatina1966]

@BabyBeastie1 AND ONE OF BADDEST

[MLFize]

one of my all time favorite songs

[MrWjd47]

This take me way back in the days. It was bad song back then and still is. I've been a big fan of P-Funk eversince my sister turn me on to them growing up. I had the chance to see the P-Funk All Stars perform in Germany when I was station in the military. George Clinton you're the man and I still have my sunglasses on.

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

@MrWjd47

Cool.

[craigmusic1707]

@MrWjd47 Best parts: 2:45, the screaming lead at 3:10, , the feeling of going down a rollercoaster at 7:41 and the return of the girls at 8:24(who is that screamin lead?) the harmonies (like at 9:20)...heck, the whole dang song is a revelation!!! This song rivals "Knee Deep" as a classic anthem.

[patsyrays1stborn]

george was a master at making raw funk palatable to the masses.....great stuff...his secret weapon?,,,....Mr. Bernie Worrell!!

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

@patsyrays1stborn

Haha I can dig that.. "WOO"

[lilmarv1]

@patsyrays1stborn Agreed! Bernie was the Funky backbone. He was in a Funky place all the time. For George Clinton to have never picked up a single instrument....Bernie Worrell (and others) made him look like a GENIUS! Well, actually he was...in his own Funky-Madness World. He was genius enough to en-Vision the entire P-Funk storyline and then assemble the cast of characters he needed to make it happen.

[groomtroy]

Good old school, I had the 45.

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

@groomtroy

Yes.

[klatu62]

Big Bro Mike Hampton playing a Avatar.. Killer Solo..

[Stoptheinsane]

If you can't dance to it then; DON'T DO IT!

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

@Stoptheinsane

But if you can dance, and get through to it, then DO IT!

(lol)

[612kev]

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

Thank  you.

[612kev]

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

(lol) I hear ya'. That's all I would've been trying to do.

Thanks

[alghani11]

Mojo was one of the few DJs that would play the entire cut. And he didn't talk over the music. I used to blast this on casette.

[MusiciansRule07]

Can anybody let a brotha know where to get a clean download of this to the Zune or the IPOD? All the way back to Tha D circa 1981. We made ours the P over in Bloomfield too, y'all! Lone Pine Road never got ovah us bumping this jam LOUD at Cranbrook. Even the white folks had to acknowledge this was tha bomb! From Palmer Park to Rogell to Rouge and through Mojo all across the Metro....still missin' Mojo today. Needs to be on XM. Hazel was a baaaaad man!

[xchr17sx]

@MusiciansRule07 Don't nobody know nothin' bout this unless they was from detroit michigan listening to mojo/ thewizard or marvolous marv your mid-day DJ! WGPR.

[saborlatina1966]

@MusiciansRule07 AN I THOUGH I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!

[dewill74]

@MusiciansRule07 ....Joy Road!!!!!!!!!!!!! What up doe!. This is the anthem from back in the day. Chillin' @ Belle Isle or Edgewater park!! or in my own hood - CODY FIELD! Home of those '85 Comets... I'm feelin' you fo sho!!

[keidonbro]

@MusiciansRule07 I live 4 this shit.

[guccikat6]

me and my skate fam rock to this every sunday night @ skateland >>>>i grew up off this tune

[davelip007]

For those of you who were fortunate enough to see a P-FUNK show in the 70's, you remember some classic music! George Clinton, Berine Worrell, & Bootsy Collins were simply the best! When the Mothership dropped, it was all over!

[janrcl]

Now this is the s***!!! ..Feeling this!!

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

Haha, fa' sho'.

[janesaddiction1]

OMG, I cannot believe this song is on utube....ahhh "you will be happy go lucky"....OMG I LOVE THIS HERE SONG!

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

lol.. It's here.

.."'nJoy"

[mrjdubb313]

in the summer of '79, The Electrifying Mojo had The Brides at the studios of WGPR in Detroit. my friend and i rode down from Flint to see them. once we got there, jefferson ave was off the meat rack - there was at least 350+ people in front of the station dancing to this while they looked out the window! PRICELESS !!!!

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

Awesome story.

[janrcl]

I rememember when The Electrifing Mojo use to play this song about twice a night. I missed that DJ. He used to play all the funk jams back then. The nighttime DJ in Detroit.

[james48505]

@janrcl

I remember the Electricfying Mojo. He was the man at 10:00 pm in Detroit and I lived in Flint.

[davelip007]

WOW!! You remember that??? That was CLASSIC!!! I was in that mess as well, I was 13 at the time and I remember seeing some Errol Flynns and some BK's hoping not to get caught in a cross fire!! That was Detroit back in the day. Mojo was ahead of his time.

[11966ericp]

@davelip007

I also grew up on Mojo back in the D, Double Whammy WHOA, he was the best and he stayed ontop of thefunk!!!!!

[drgroove]

we used to pic up mojo all the way up in saginaw on a clear night.

[james48505]

@davelip007 I remember and I was there at a Average White Band concert at Cobo Hall. The Electricifying Mojo was the man. Now I understand they have taped music programs and I don't listen to the top 40 anymore. Music just has not gotten better it was gotten worse.

[MrFin333]

The first concert my brothers ever took me to was a p-funk concert @ either Joe Louis arena or Cobo in Detroit in 79 I was 4 !!! This stuff was force fed to me when I was a baby, I thank them still to this day ! Great stuff.

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

Cool

[cbarrow2114]

remind me of ole dayz in school and still luv this shit til i die da ziggygir

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

I can dig it.

[dagnome27]

Despite what the tag words say, this is NOT Bootsy Collins playing bass, it's ME, Bruce Nazarian. Guitar too, but I don't think that's me playing the solo - only the lead stuff at the very begininning.

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

Thanks for sharing this info with us Bruce.

[dagnome27]

My pleasure - this was a fun track to play on

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

There was only one comment that claims Bootsy was playing bass on this song for some reason.

Timmyfunk1 even pointed the fact out, that Bootsy isn't on bass... most serious p-funk fans know Bootsy's bass playing style.

I gladly added your name to the tags...

Which tracks have your input on Fuzzy's "Radio Active" and Johnny Taylor's "Eargasm"...

[TheDigitalGuy1]

@ThaGrooveallegiance Id have to go back and check the track listing for Fuzzy's LP - Probably most if not all of them... on Eargasm, Disco Lady for sure...

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

@TheDigitalGuy1 Cool! Thanks Bruce.

[Timmyfunk1]

Well that is illuminating. I always thought it was Bernie on the synth. Wow!

[lwwatterson]

could someone PLEASE POST "Didnt mean to fall in Love" & "I'm Holding You Responsible" from this same Album, the wicked vocals and Guitar in "I'm Holding".... Mike Hampton Kills!!

[Timmyfunk1]

Only that's not Mike Hampton. It's Eddie Hazel.

[93gadosta]

I LOVE the FUNK

[pgcountyy]

Hampton on the solo..

[daddy63og]

[djdredwhitehead]

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

Cool, I can remember going to the record store and buying this album, returning home and letting the needle drop on this sucka... and playing it all evening with my headphones on full blast.

[delisababy]

Redford's not torn down...it's still standing--shuttered.

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

"lol" I saw your comment ilovemred.

[rroberson52]

Detroit...Henry Ford c/o 1980!!! This is one of those JAMS that will still be hot after 30 years! My 12-year old doesn't want to admit it, but she likes this tune. She would never tell her friends.

[ThaGrooveallegiance]

30 years and still strong...

"My 12-year old doesn't want to admit it, but she likes this tune. She would never tell her friends" ~ rroberson52

(lol).

[FunkWitYoMind]

you might say this is truly disco-punk? funkin sweet

[MinisterLynne]

This is exactly why old heads can't get too into the new music "fluffy grime"...they forgot the main ingredient PFUNK! Premium Funk that is. Thanks for The

Brides #1 song and now I must get to it ;- )

[kokilananda]

Kennedy, class of 80's, Sacramento, CA.

[phantomopp]

Study to this in my Dorm room at Central State University back in the Day.

[em3digital]

Ooooh shit! I'm really tripping! I was at Redford High School (which is now torn down)... I use to get fucked up off listening to this song! Damn...

[R0B0TRON]

ULTIMATE

[dfunkmcd]

dfunk's all time favorie funk jams!!

[mizike06]

THIS JAM MAKES ME WANNA CRY.....

[craigmusic1707]

@mizike06 the meaning is so "deep" yes, i have played it at least 10 times a day since i rediscovered it last week!!

[0MM3]

the guitar solo, is that schieder or hampton

[s4ujxm]

Mike Hampton

[TuckerEatsBabies]

and i thought KNEE DEEP went hard!! this is seriously untouchable. can't believe this album doesn't catch more mention

[bemoore4]

I think that you got caught up in the moment for a second there. I love this song, all 15 minutes of it, but you better not be trying to imply that it's in the same league as "(not just) Knee Deep". Knee Deep has a better concept, better production, a better guitar solo (one of the best ever) and is a clearly superior song.

[shjtyu]

This is raw. Knee deep was like microwaved popcorn.

[antman8093]

old school jam in detroit one of my favs,

[PETEthemedic]

One Love From Detroit

[naehuddy]

hell yeah!!!!  my first year at the Mack, Mackenzie high detroit

[pooptyme]

I still have the original album!

And let me tell you these "Hip-Hop" newjacks cannot FUNK like this! Why? NO SAMPLES, all original composition, Amen!

[badafli]

This is my songgg!can you post didn't mean to fall in love.

[gunfiregod]

THIS WAS MY JAM!!! Back in Det at Henry Ford Hs with "the Rover" & the fellas back in the day (class of 76)

[Timmyfunk1]

Did this classic P-Funk jam get any airplay in Detroit? As usual NYC never bought any Texas.

[detroitghost]

I feel you. This was a jam! Did you see them when they were on The Scene on ch. 62? (Murray-Wright HS '85)

[gunfiregod]

No I would have loved that!!!

[mackmall313]

funny..i went to Henry Ford High and i waz BORN in 1976..these classics connecting our generations..i luv it..funk waz born and can never die.timeless muzik

[coochilla]

bootsy collins on bass  ssssssssssssssssssssing

[JPfromFlint]

Who is playing bass on this song? Does anybody know?

[Timmyfunk1]

Bernie Worrell on the bass synth. Definitely ain't Bootsy.

[TheDigitalGuy1]

@JPfromFlint Yes - that's me - Bruce Nazarian

[Oldskugurl1960]

I have to say it again this is some FUNKY SHI !!!!!

[Oldskugurl1960]

Thisong is the SHI- !! I am doing the Full-tilt like it's the 1980's!

[blacksandwich1]

thanks for posting this jam thagrooveallegiance!

[blacksandwich1]

one of my fav's!

[dramaticefx]

I am 15 again! This is one of those songs, that 15+ minutes are clearly not long enough!

You can feel the heart and soul put into each and every note song and played! Mr. Clinton worked with some extreme talent!

Damn,... this song is the absolute shit!

ThaGrooveallegiance,...thanks for posting

[blacksandwich1]

ive been a funk fan for decades, that to all you funkateers for posting this music of the p-funk mob. I've lost alot of these songs over the years but thank to you all i have back!

[michelle2837]

yes you get bernie worrell on those keys, sheilah horne went retarded on vocals loved it pluas michael freaking haMPTON ON THAT guitar solo then eddie hazel does his solo not his best but hey eddie closes

[blacksandwich1]

you know so much about the funk i like your comments I am also a pfunk fan for decades ive met a few members of the mob over the years including george clinton. I had a good friend named ed tempo aka the mirror man he had the skill of lamenating the p-funk album art on the face of mirrors. ive lost contact with him,its been 22 years since ive heard from him please stay in contact with me. thanks

[Timmyfunk1]

That is Michael Hampton from start to finish. Eddie Hazel is on the track called "I'm Holding You Responsible".

[weewee123]

i have it :S

[dmckiever01]

This song is the SHIT.

[Ladewi2001]

I have been looking for a downloadable version of this song..IMPOSSIBLE. We had a local DJ here, who would pay for the radio time to play this song once a month so people could record it. It was like a mini event. He would announce to people to get their tapes ready, the date , time and all. God..I want this on my I-POD so bad.

[kamelgee]

the break was so fonky on this , perfect for pop lockin back in the day ....but i could never make out the solo. mike or black byrd?

[keciajjj]

THE BEST P FUNK SONG OF ALL TIME. I remember dancing to this song at a house party back in the day.

[wllywurld]

This Izz Y We P on the Funky Tree!

For All You Timbalakelands, get a Muthafunkin' receipt...

[ready348]

real funk at its finest

[MinisterLynne]

This is exactly why old heads can't get too into the "fluffy grime" (depends on who's hot at the moment pop or rap) because they forgot the main ingredient FUNK! lol...I love the slide show.

[ioxxd90]

My favorite song by the Brides...........Should have went to #1 in my opinion....

[happinessisadrag]

They haven't developed a way of rating THE FUNK!!!!
