The band has always impressed me with J B . They could lock a groove with perfection. And don't you visualize Heavy D rapping Mr. Big Stuff. I 'm willing to say we'll hear this beat again! JB set the Bar on music.
Ok, Im younger then those who have lived and breathed this type of music, hence the fact that my marching band plays many upbeat and blood pumping songs closer to the new generation ranging from All Of The Lights to Black n' Yellow, but out of the sheer blue sky my band director pulls out a sheet of paper and instructs us on how to play, dance, & chant for this song. I'm officially hooked on this song for its groove and sweet smooth jazz. Now the percussion is always saying "Pass the peas"
@johnsomnia I have NO idea of what the hell you're talking about, and I'll wager that neither do you! I get NOTHING from the JB's work! NOTHING! I posted a great song from back in the day so that others who are still feeling this great music can enjoy it! What prompted you to write something so blatantly untruthful and downright silly?
@johnsomnia Hahah what the hell are you talking about asshole? Is this the first time you clicked on an audio of a band on youtube? There literally must be millions on youtube. Are you on fucking crack? What do you care anyways with your wise ass comment? Fucking weirdos in this world man.. how does a person become so weird and not realize people who post videos are clearly putting them up in tribute.
Like on the Thanksgiving episode of Martin! lol! " I say, pass the peas like we used to do!" But the song says " Pass the peas like we used to say"!! lolzz!
@sexybj89 Did you just get finished watching this particular episode on TvOne...because I did, and it's crazy ironic for you to reply at this moment and time LMAO!
@grrrroink So so so true. I play drums and it gets really old when I'm filling in with bands and they tell me that I'm dragging the tempo. They just ain't feelin' it right!
@grrrroink So so so true. I play drums and it gets really frustrating when band's I'm playing with tell me I'm dragging tempos. They just ain't feelin' it right!
Rainbow? C'mon, now! The good skatin' in Chicago was out South at "Skate City" or "Foxy Wheels". Think "Midnight Rambels" or doing "The Big Wheel" all laid out, nearly touching the floor!
Man u way off markam was the shit; they had a dane floor in the rink it was allways crowded while we were big wheeling on the rink the baddest crazy legges were being done in that lil dancecfloor there @ markam
Fred Wesley (born July 4, 1943) is an American jazz and funk trombonist, best known for his work with James Brown in the 1960s and 1970s.
Wesley was born in Columbus, Georgia, of James Brown's bands, playing on many hit recordings including "Say it Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud", "Mother Popcorn" and co-writing tunes such as "Hot Pants".
A couple of days ago I noticed that this vid had become blocked in some countries...ain't that a crock??!!! I guess eventually all this good music will be banned from youtube. It's like buying a song and not being able to play it for anyone else. I've owned all of my older music before those "groups" were created. It's a shame they used their money in the pursuit of some false conquest. Well...'nuff said!
I'm 15 years old and I know it because of my dad… THANKS DAD!
