Dazz Band - Let it whip

[modularhalfpipe]

Wow awesome performance... What kind of deal did Dazz get screwed into to let that Tom Joyner idiot prance about the stage...? It disrespects their performance, and I'm sure the audience was like WTF? ...anyway, always a huge fan of funk, it has so much more class than the disco people so often mistake it for. Don't forget Heatwave (the groove line) , Funkadelic (one nation under a groove), Cool and the gang(Let's groove)

[51578818r]

Put them on PBS !!!!!!!

[CoreyScar03]

omg haha

[m2killer51]

[gmoiasovghb87fa]

You will never guess why I am here....

[Sybenett]

That's what I'm talking about baby real black R&B dance music, The Dazz Band brothers playing instruments. Rap music hah???? The Bar Kays with the incomparable Mr. Larry Dodson. Shut the funk up.

[FirstReason1]

Erinnert mich ans GTA San Andreas zocken..

Funky

[sactiger]

I wish somebody would please tell tom joyner to sit his FAT ASS DOWN!! nobody wants to see him tryna dance! he ruined it for me... damn...

[gtazocker312]

[rvfried]

[bushtales]

@rvfried yeah it is.... called Funky Nights by the United We Funk All Stars © Alpha Centauri entertainment ACE 11083 D

[erectionaffection]

12 people cant whip it

[tacomadavid68]

I have always thought that this song was by Earth Wind and Fire until about two seconds ago.

[brownbunny1000]

What is the purpose of the bald white guy?

[MrBbigheadd]

This is on my Maxell CD Lens Cleaner Demo tester. Does anyone know if that's Charlie Wilson toothless and thin on stage?

[mariothepookster]

damn , that must have been a helluva concert with the bar-kays.

[Antweezysx]

I LOVE WHEN OLD SCHOOL BANDS PLAY LIVE!!

[danzefirelli]

great live version!!!

[m2killer51]

Thanks for their hits in the numeros 80s! baaah im not to be confused with Bricks ..dazz.it makes you go out to the dancefloor and shake the worms out from your flesch.god damn!..or youll wait till your granddaughter got her communion.

[gayl09]

I love the Dazz Band so much I am watching this for the 3rd time. !!!That Tom Joyner being on the same stage as the Dazz Band is about as bad as Tom Willis on the Jeffersons dancing on the same stage as James Brown!!!

[gayl09]

The thing I hate about getting older is seeing other people around me getting older. At times these guys sound out of breath. Wouldn't you? But they are still good and a delight to my ears. I would love to see them in person!!!!

[gayl09]

I am white and at first I thought who was this stupid white guy-Dazz Band wannabe. I don't care what color he is, he is not part of the Dazz Band so he should get his butt off of the stage. The Dazz Band's presence and talent alone makes him look out of place and stupid. Then he has to act stupid. People want to see the Dazz Band not that twit needing medication.

[deanyo44]

SOMEBODY TELL UNCLE FESTER (TOM JOYNER) TO SIT THE HELL DOWN!!!!

[cw51569]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[adoratanamicina]

Ojala huviera estado alli tambien yo cuanto seria feliz!

[DiamondinMJ]

Tom Joyner fucked that performance up!! Fat sloppy ass, should have stayed out of the way!! It would have a great performance, minus Tom.

[MrTrackfreek]

ANOTHER WINNER,BUT WHY DOES MR. JOINER ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ON STAGE AT HIS SKY SHOWS.PUFFY WAS ALWAYS IN THE VIDEOS&TOM IS ALWAYS ON STAGE.TO ME THAT TAKES AWAY FROM THE CONCERT.SIT YOUR ASS DOWN FOOL.

[mrstanbmw]

@MrTrackfreek good point

[MrSmartBob]

Nice vid. It would be better if the pink suited cunt was edited out of it.

[takerele]

WOOOOOOO!!!!!! YEAH!!!!! LOVE THIS!!!!!!

[HarryMatic]

This is great, but too bad it's missing the minimoog bass that was in the original.

[notton155]

Gee i'm livin' in the wrong country, there was obviously a party going on...

[DebbieWist]

All great music! 80's were definitely the bomb! Let it Whip!

[BanksChannel]

ooh WHOO-HOOoooo!!!!! (so let it whip)...

I must say, the lead singer is pretty damn cool -.-

But, thirty years later... I STILL don't know what the hell they're saying at 1:32

[MrBbigheadd]

@BanksChannel We have the natural feeling

Obviously revealing

Let me be your paper man

I'd love to be your joker man

We both are here to have the fun

So let it whip

[EFMEDITOR]

great song back in the day but their voices sound horrible now ;(

[Tommynatorium]

oh baby baby :D

[grandmamaable]

a good song i like

[sosmooth7]

What's up with Tom Joyner in every shot. Don't he know that its very distracting for some to be on stage while the artists are performing? That WAS the one thing I hated about his sky show,he woduld never get off the stage and let the artists perform. I mean we all know his name was in the name of the show,but the artist made the show not him!

[rshandy]

LOL why is Tom Joyner up there stickeing out like a sore RED thumb LOL

[Headphoneguy92]

@rshandy He DOES look like a red thumb :O

[LoOtn1]

so nice song ^^ love this hear this in GTA San Andreas ^^ in car and i look here at this nice performance

[nikkilynn18]

these guys are so cute and i love the dancing...lol

[spring85sigma]

This song was a hit when I was a freshman in college almost 30 years ago! It is gratifying to see this song performed LIVE and sounding great!

[bushtales]

@spring85sigma Yep, the Legends still there....Go to a Funk show near you...recently The Bar-Kays,Dazz Band, Ohio Players, Slave, Zapp did a Funk Festival in Ohio...

Keep the Funk alive !!!...'P'.

[Wolfington]

@bushtales

That's one nice line up. Shame there's nothing like that going on over here.

[JuleEYELESS]

riding one of the best basslines and im sure it was an hit in the 80s and went to the plague old womans at bar mitzvahs and wedding for years to come right?

[FeartheWarrior]

This is actually an ok version

[djchipman69]

[mrhow22]

man every thing was good from the way they are dressed, to the music you can tell every body is havin fun too

[JohnCClinton]

What's the song he sings in 4:26?

[dlyncottn1960]

@JohnCClinton IDK but it sounds like lyrics from DMX's Party Up! Y'all gonna make me lose my mind!

[DJBiggieSpins]

@JohnCClinton It was a spin on DMX's hit, "Party Up (Up In Here)", the line goes, "Y'all 'gon make me lose my mind, up in here, up in here..."

[JohnCClinton]

You may call me ignorant, but what song does he sing in 4:26 and everybody seems to know it?

[dlyncottn1960]

I wanna go back to this time! IT LITES ME UP!!! Sorry ppl, they just don't make music like this anymore. LET IT WHIP!!! ahhhhhhh, mmmmmmm, yaaaaaa

[novasco55]

It is no wonder the "old shows" are still making the most money and attracting the most fans. Does not matter if it is Funk, Blues, Soul or Old Rock and Roll. The top five grossing shows in 2009 where Bands founded in the 60's, 70's and early 80's. Gangsta and Hip Hop Sucks. Out of the top 30 shows in 2009 24 were Bands founded in the 60's, 70's and 80's as well.

[str8outtatexas1]

attention all thugs,gangbangers,saggin wanna be hard rappers,fake ass r&b wanna be's,& all u disrespectful clowns who think todays garbage ass music is the shit,guess what? this is what u call a real,well dressed,great voices,great performers,smooth ass r&b group.their not singing about their dicks,bitch,money,cars,bling,g­uns,beef or any other senseless shit u hear today.there's a few great artist today,but no one can duplicate the past, thats 60's-early 90's.i'm a 43 year old school die-heart.

[dlyncottn1960]

@str8outtatexas1 Nice knowin' I'm not the only 60's hippie still into this shit!!!! From TX, too!!!!  ^_^

[kill666love]

這是我最愛的歌之ㄧ 我來自台灣

感覺這首歌如同台灣的天氣一樣 讓人感到熱情

[TEchwarrior]

@kill666love 我也來自台灣 這也是我最喜歡的幾首oldschool funk之一 ， 有興趣的話我可以再推薦你幾首 !

[BWKAPPA]

At first glance I said who the heck are these guys? However at a second glance that is SKIP MARTIN singing the lead! The Dazz Band was by far one of the top groups of the 80's!

"We both are here........to have BIG FUN SO LET IT WHIP!"

[TheHappinessmusic]

Precious Musicians!!! Great song, lovely, lovely!!!!! :-)

[recovering16]

They have only mellowed with age - like a fine wine!!

[imsofreakingninja]

@imsofreakingninja

I agree, but without the original, there wouldn't be a cover.

Respect.

[adrion6912]

Damnit Tom Joyner sit your Lemon Head Looking Butt Down!!!! These guys took the time to put together a show and here Tom goes with the wrong colors on and the wrong steps screwing up the show.

[spmillz]

@adrion6912 NO YOU DID NOT CALL HIM A LEMON HEAD! LMBO! I WONDER, IS WHAT TOM WAS DOING EQUIVALENT TO WHAT KANYE DID TO TAYLOR SWIFT (NAW!) OR WHAT LIL MAMA DID TO JAY AND ALICIA (NAW!). TOM WAS WORST LMBO!

[Joy77]

Still fine too I might add!!

[Joy77]

Hot tamale. Get down boys. Damn this is the JAM right here. These guys know how to do it right. Best song of the 80's no doubt.

[steve0308]
