Old Playa Footage

[soulrealife]

Wow

[37plus1]

This video is infectious. I woke up in the middle of the night just to log onto youtube. It's amazing how one song can be interpreted in two ways. Music speaks volumes. I am proud of you Mr. Digglerla (Smokey). I don't know how often you read comments but I wish you the best for the upcoming years. Congratulations and be encouraged I will never forget seeing Playa at Mayfest 2000 something in Georgia.

[MrCbolden]

I remember when I first heard Don't Stop the Music, yall stuff knock! Much luv

quick question...what are those chords that you were playing?

[EMR80]

They killed that shit Smoke on the keys playing. Static vibrato is cold nice riffs and then he hits a little falsetto. Smoke is tight he needs to come to Minneapolis.
