@GrandFunker Hey Grand Funker how the hell are ya' ? :)

[GrandFunker]

@fabianstraregy Pretty groovy, thanks!

[fabianstraregy]

For some goofy reason I thought that this was a Chicago tune and so I have every Chicago tune that there is :) It could only have been that I remembered the music only and not the words plus the horns have a Chicago "sound" to them. The right music/work of art can bring inner peace to one . This one did that for me,what with the threat nuclear annihilation,the Vietnam war and a degree of racism in the the NAVY.So I was quite sustained by this beautiful music.Thanks G Strong Raw. fabian strategy

All man I use to play my drums to this as a kidd.

Mandrill was so good at creating cool, Afro-Latin grooves like this

[MrGoldfangaz49]

it's not Latin at all, but very Afro, deep jungle and beautiful. I could care less about how they categorize, essentially African music as Jungle because it is what it is, beautiful and tropic.

This group was big in New York back in the day....they are from Panama..and the group consist of three brothers (the Wilson brothers) and a friend Clauld Coffee Cave on organ. The lead singer was actually a doctor at Harlem Hospital...some knowledge for your musical ass...lol I was so into them...saw them at the Apollo a few times & at Randalls island back in the 70's when they gave concerts there...

Bus in Brooklyn, New York which is where I am originally from but I used to get stoned with a very good friend of mine back then and now I am retired and he is driving a bus in Brooklyn.....
