This is the best tune. I am still a funkster at heart. Can anyone remember the pirate radio station everyone used to listen to at the time that played jazz funk?
Havent seen this clip for so long, was such a pleasure workin with the boys in those early years.True raw talent,they made same top Brit Jazzfunk classics :-)
I have got perfect pitch and musical recall. I can tell you that they are singing live but the backing track is recorded! No live performance would match the studio album perfectly like this does!
@laur51 Here, here, I was very sad to hear of his passing in the Netherlands a few years ago. He was a big influence on me buying a Bass Guitar, and forever practicing. His style was effortless. 'BIG-UP' Paul 'Tubbs' Williams, never forgotten among true 'Funkateers'.
I'm from the UK and the music that these guys produced changed my life as a musician and I've never looked back since. R.I.P. Paul "Tubbs" Williams, you were one of the baddest bass players to walk the face of the earth.
Light Of The World have released a best of CD called 'Anthology: Addicted To Funk'. You should be able to get it through Play or Amazon. Swingin is included. Excellent CD.
That brings back some great memories.I remember seeing them live at the Peterborough Cresset back in 1979. There still going today and have recently released a new album inner voices.
Real music...cooool post!
