The Strikers Live- Body Music Part 1

[TheKamaria85]

I love the first minute !!

[geewdanger]

My mom always loved this song and this os my favorite I've listed to this since i was eight years old still do now to this day

[OLDSCHOOLNEVERDIES]

Still going extra strong after 30 years! I got all of their 12" mixes.

The Prelude Records bands are timeless...

[zdzbzrz]

What a shame they only did one album...they could have pursued with others albums in the later eighties... (at least one more...) ...sure they could have done a good electro-funk album;...come on, I mean, these guys -like Brass Construction,Cameo,Chic,Kool & The Gang,Shalamar or Skyy- are from New-York ! They surely knew how to produce good and powerful beats...but I've heard that it was due to differencs of opinions as to directions to take within the band, artistically speaking...

[NORAK69]

Does anyone know the name of the bass player in this video. I think he may be a friend of mine. I'v been looking for him for about 20 years.....

[shoebooty1]

yeah, i know him as WES. where r u from WORD4u

[Word4u]

I'm from North Carolina. I thought his name was "Skip" or Willie.

[shoebooty1]

Skip is his nickname. he is from franklinton N.C. and still has lots of family there. i'm currently working on a project with skip now. where do you know him from?

[Word4u]

I'm from franklinton also. I had the chance to work with him years ago for a brief moment but i was very young and did not capitalize on his knowlege and i have been trying to find him for about 10 years. could you have him contact me if possible. tell him my name is Quentin.

[shoebooty1]

Word4u i dropped Skips email address in your message box. much luck on the reunion

[Word4u]

Thanks alot. I got it..... sent him a message today.

[oleskolover]

Hi,

The Strickers have a place in my heart. I knew several of the band members from when we lived in NY. I remember when Skip (Willie) was moving to NC. I would love to chat with Skip. I too live in NC now.  Please forward his email address to me. PLEASE.

[shaggy140pv]
