Main Ingredient - Magic Shoes

[Jamal249999]

Now I've never been one to knock the next man for getting his

You know what I'm saying?

And I do realize that hip-hop is now a form of showbiz

But this has always been something with which you have to be true

So in the year on 1992...(Now this is how we do!)

Little Brother - On The Way

[nealadams70]

Ah my magic shoes of 1976...green and yellow keds that had the power to make my feet HURT....lucky I dont have corns, bunions, or something like it today....

[lovebeingamum40]

The groups from this era...The Whispers, The Sylistics, etc.....and of course this one had the dreamiest, hauntingly beautiful vocals and HARMONIES ever....this group here were so classy, soulful, and just......ahhhhhhh. Please forgive all of these superlatives I'm throwing around, but...this music moves me so. Side bar: they were all so daggone FINE in their attire with those beautiful blowouts(afros)..fine, fine gentlemen...my beautiful brothers from the 60's and 70's....:-)

[MightyGerm96]

[MrNighttrain28]

Cuba Gooding took the lead spot when Don McPherson passed away. Read your history.

[MrNighttrain28]

The late great Donald McPherson. One of the best tenor lead singers ever.

[pinolero13]

[mattyvizzle]

@pinolero13 nah for "on the way"

[mg55412]

[bevie5851]

Proud to say that gentlemen in blue suit is my cousin Carl Thompkins. Other gentlemen is Luther Simmons.  My cousin Carl is now deceased. I'm trying to reach Cuba or Luther to let them know. RIP in Carl.

[anonymissqt]

[bevie5851]

@anonymissqt Hi...who am I communicating with. C.J., Rosetta, etc. contact me at my verizon email bevie5851@verizon.net, or give me a call at 804 733-6956. We got message from Carl's aunt Doris, who said Sue called her and told her Carl was deceased. Carl's sister, Cookie, lives here in Virginia also and was very upset to hear this news. Please contact me A.S.A.P.

[MrGaines1965]

@bevie5851 @ bevie5851 I'm friends with Cuba Gooding on Facebook.

[LinJapanese]

cuba gooden... yes, the lead singer is cuba gooden jr's pops.

[de0ndre]

Lovely tune. Great sample choice for 'Main Source - Fakin The Funk'

[estreetstl]

the late, soulful tenor of D. McPherson...hauntingly beautiful song...Thank you for the posting of a classic that I once thought that only I knew about.

[Elisabeth1903]

This sounds to me more like the Beach Boys than like the Main Ingredient! Where's Cuba Gooding?

[nealadams70]

i could have used those kinda shoes in high school..and college..and today....two left feet dont do it

[REwoodzie]

Great song. Much respect to Main Source and 9th wonder for making great tracks off this hidden jewel.

[cl8yt]

"ya fakin' the funk"

[diderr01]

Little Brother!!!

[Aplustradomus]

DOPE sample...LOve the vocals..

[DJCYCLONE2]

This is one of the hidden classics.. I love this song and I love hearing original samples but Fakin' the Funk was always a special record due to content and the damn near chill and vision of sunshine when you hear those voices... The very beginning of this song has something awesome inside.. Great find & post!!!

[NYhope07]

DJ Jin killed this sample OMG

I can't believe I missed this

White Men Can't Jump OST.

[qwestknowledgeeno]

We on the way now

[fridarix]

[1975tooto]

This song is off the Tasteful Soul Album in 1970! Donald on lead!! Really miss him!!

[hallmark18]

The middle one is Cuba gooding jr(actor)dad

[h2junkey]

You could have easily just said Cuba Gooding Sr. Cuba Jr. and Omar are spitting images of him, IMO

[darganx]

If there wasto be a film about this group, there is only one man to be the lead role!!

[megadirt]

I know thats such a trip..

[PROFND12]

Main Source - Fakin' Da Funk!!!  Nice! Shout to the fam..Keith E, Ken E, Kraig E...ONE!

[vboy13]

this is such a great tune

god bless

[smoothie6ft3]

The Album "Bitter Sweet" was a nod to the passing of Donnie McPherson. Cuba Gooding Sr. took over as lead singer when Donnie lost his battle with lukemia in 72

[illagitimo]

Large professor sampled the intro for "fakin the funk" early ninties hip hop.

[RLW1967]

I love this song, too.

[superstrut75]

in glasgow, if you said you had 'magic shoes' it would mean you had a great pair of shoes. just like this is a magic song. hine.

[10cretion]

nice

[superstrut75]

Is it true there was a follow up song called 'Magic Socks' ?

[dexxxhunt]

nice...i got this lp on wax!u always find breaks on these guys records!

[thematicbeats]

9th wonder took that for " On the Way " off the Chitlin circuit...nice!

[BeantownBaller]

"On the Way" is one of the better if not best song on that LP, and he did the sample justice

[SupremeBeatsInc]

The Great Donnie McPherson(RIP)

sings the lead vocal on this one. The original Main Ingredient lead singer. Great song.

[CWroyal88]

main source straight up nice upload!

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

This song was taken from the LP "Spinning Around". Nice find!
