Them and Earth Wind and Fire were was favorite groups. I used to call Confunkshun a poor man's Earth Wind and Fire. But they had a greatness of thier own. The 70's&Early 80's is what I call the "Big Band Era of R&B/Soul". The Commadores, Cameo, Parliment/Funkadelic,Lakeside,The SOS band. The Gap Band. We didn't know how good we had it back in the day...Considering the homemade crap they call music today. Even youngsters say the music back then was better...
Hey...I was stationed at Travis AFB back when Con Funk Shun, Cederic and the guys were associated with a band called Cold Fire. Whatever happened to Cold Fire?
........Re_Occupy the great funk music ......while your mind is on money matters ,...my mind is on sound , sound, and more sound ..........need to clean the park out .....
I'm down! Remember when Sinbad got the best in funk together and had a 3 paaarrtay in the Bahamas or somewhere cool?! Man, that would have great to experience. Why doesn't someone with the scrilla do it again, the time is certainly right, and we could use the fun, seriously.
Hey, I'm a White Guy and this is my kind of music. This hit the Disco Dance Clubs hard in 1979. It's still a hit in 2011, and will be a hit forever! This song Jams!
My father is the trumpet player for Con Funk Shun (Karl Fuller Sr.), it really warms my heart to see all the people he helped touch with their music, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
Tell your Daddy it's a HUGE honor to listen to his music! And trust it made it to the shores of Australia where we'd funk and jam and dance to this song in the clubs and on our record players and listen to it on the radio!
@karlfuller2 -I've been Confunkshunized since day1! They are the fathers of FUNK!! Confunkshun's music will be played forever. It was an honor to watch them perform in Akron, Ohio January 2011.We're attending the show in Detroit April 2, 2011. Just cant get enough Funk! BTW your Dad is awesome! Did you see the video of him leading us in prayer 1/16/2011?
@karlfuller2 -Confunkshun of Vallejo, CA, is one of of the top funk/dance/ love song bands of all time. They have influenced thousands of musicians and singers. Their music is timeless.
@karlfuller2 I used to try to follow this for years but lost touch. Do you know if the kid that murdered Louis McCall down in GA. was ever successfull convicted?
@karlfuller2 Please, thank you for the joy your father brought to us all these years!!! I still play Con Funk Shun till this day....I thank GOD for his gift to us of Con Funk Shun music. Please share this posting with your father. Still love me some Con Funk Shun sounds!!!!
If it is true that everything cycles back through every 30 years then we are due for an encounter with real music again. I hope these video's and more importantly the supported commentary inspire todays youth to abandon the talentless direction music went in and create a new sound that their generation might someday be proud of, kind of like my generations sound.
yep we usedd to ride in a old convertible all summer long blasting this.... nobody was shooting guns ... no drugs on the corners... just the ice cream trucks and back yard bar b ques
This song will forever remind me of a neighbor I had in 1979 who had the BEST stereo I'd ever heard. He played this album every day, along with "Street Life" by the Crusaders, Anita Ward, a gang of 'em. Invariably, he'd play this one, the whole album, repeatedly. Frankly, I looked forward to it because his stereo was too cold!
This group crossed the line of JAZZ/FUNK from Brick, Slave, Cameo, Brass Construction, Fazo and Chique all in one. What a groove back in the day. Slow songs were cutting edge music.
even tho its popular on to do so on youtube, I try very hard not to put down today's music.
But then, I come across a classic like this,
& realize just how R&B radio today is just bombarded with all that hip-hop flavored material. I mean, they ALL have that same steady mid-beat that is SO frikkin' boring.
Listening to funky jams like this, by bands like ConFunkShun, Lakeside, Brick, etc,
who produced music that was so energetic & full of life....
Yep. Talent & beauty.Her dad (Peter) was in Santana.Her brother (Peter Michael) has had a pretty good run as a jazz musician himself.She'dve done just fine without Prince...but hey - if you're sitting on gold ...and then discover oil...you take that too.;-) She did some stuff with Ray Obiedo too. I'm sure it's in here somewhere.
The original album version had a live prelude that had to be the funkiest 30 second instrumental ever.Would love it if that was posted.Also of note: A teenage Sheila E. was on percussion for this cut.
@FIGHTSEEN thats right both families live (d) in vallejo Ca... Been to both of their houses... well sheila's brother Pete was living out here, and I know his family well.. And Carl Fullers son, Is my ex husbands best friend!! small world cause Im still the biggest confunkshun fan ever!!!
OMG, this is awesome! The only time I hear this song is on the ol skool lunch hour on my local r&b station here in Huntsville,Alabama, and it's never the long version.
Chase Me ... chase me honey alright you can chase me...chase me thru the nite..come and chase me...chase me honey alright, you can chase me...chase me thru the nite ooooooh yeah used to skate to this back in '79. ouch baby...:) nothin sweeter .. back in San Francisco...
i remember where i first heard this song..in a juke joint down south. i loved it and as soon as i got back home i bought it. my girlfriend at that time heard it and said it was a silly song..that is until we went to the local club a week later and she saw everyone grooving on the dancefloor to this jam!
bozefuze...my little brother thanks you too...he used to roller skate to this in the day...thanks, baby:) ..... chase me honey all right....chase me thru the night... lol
@Muziclvr07 , who you tellin'? I wore this Joint out myself! Cincinnati and DETROIT use to bang this the summer it was out! Goooooooood Times! Don't forget yo' Skates!
Ohhh...this one brings back a lot of good memories. My car loves this song, too because she shakes her mirrors and doors to the beat. LOL
