Huh?!? They don't any the "Godfather" if they aren't the first. Trust me... they didn't start calling it Go-Go when he first played. Like any music, that's a marketing label that came after the music became popular and outsiders started noticing. "Go-Go" was the venue where music was played before it was the music itself. Experience Unlimited and Trouble Funk were Funk R&B acts that saw the success of The Soul Searchers organs/conga/continuous beats had and then grew Go-Go from that.
I'm late responding but even though Chuck is one of the best that ever did it and I love him. He is not the first. While I wouldn't call him a pimp through his own admitance he took the sound from the young boys here in DC that were playing gogo and added some wind instruments and his guitar. He made it his own sound and the rest is history.
An Over looked Style of music for sure.The only Go go tune people know is EU doing the butt!That`s because of Spike Lee!My Keyboard player use to play with Chuck.His name is Tony Tillman.He hipped me to alot of Go go!!
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorry i didnt want that happening to me
Chuck is the MAN! I met a dude from D.C. and he introduced me to several different Go Go artist and I wasn't feelin any of them. When I heard this JAM, I was sold! Even the joints I didn't like before I was starting to warm up to.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME...GO-GO WAS AROUND BEFORE CHUCK!!! NOW TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DO-HE HELPED TO PUT IT ON THE MAP AND BRING ANOTHER SOUND TO IT. However, I grew up in DC and was listening to Go-Go before Chuck got a hold of it. Glad you like it now. Enjoy!!
