One of the tightest & greatest bands ever.

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

".. to life. I was in my hotel room in Mexico, something led me to turn on the TV. I then saw Leon Pitillo[...] Leon was sharing his testimony of how he became a born-again Christian..." Youo see, if I took all the time to write again all the words this guy said very recently, that's because I want it to be as a mesage, to all the youth who want to be stars or long for that lifestyle... You'll be down with all that, sooner or later, God is the One to whom we all return...Never forget that...

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

" God told me not to desire stardom. The calling on my life was to become a Pastor. At the age 13, I moved to Philadelphia[...]My turning point, I was sick and tired of the lifestyle, women, drugs, alcohol and all the traveling; playing songs that were not of God. I remember one of the band members brought two girls to our hotel room and I felt so empty in my spirit; I became sick of it all.I began talking to God letting him know how tired I was and if asking him if there something more..

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

George Bell, the guy at the top left , -who was the second guitarist in Instant Funk- is now a pastor... Her's an extract of his own words :

""The devil spoke to me at around the age of 11; he said he would make me a “star” if I sold my soul—I woke up with a new sense of power and not knowing what I really had done. At the age of 12, I was inspired by Carlos Santana. He played a well-known solo that truly won me over. He influenced me to play the guitar. "

[berylman]

Lol... that was my reaction too about the supergay album cover... I literally said to myself "that is gayer than 9 dudes blowing each other in a circle".. sorry for the mental imagery

Regardless.... this song sounds like factory made funk, nothing special at all

[facu9002]

[skorcha]

alembic or warwick ?

[previewlounge]

ultimate mix of funk, swing vibe niceness. and then, the p-funk concept of 'everything is on the one' type of thang.

[cacemphaton]

[Tonewheeldude]

Bought this Album when it came out..

[Michlimania]

Are they trying to be Egyptians?

[knzay]

the gayest album cover i've ever seen after Adam Lambert's!

[FunkyDebob]

@knzay why is that? It has nothing to do with gayness. They just showing a bit off skin and locking their arms together if you think this is gay then you totally lost your sense of normality. Men could actually watch each other during these days without being gay but just human beings.

[slytown]

@knzay Disco was born out of the gay clubs like Paradise Garage and The Loft. Not much of a surprise.

[LBJTV]

@knzay you're gay

[adrian480]

super cool, bass guitar sound like a Alembic bass

[wildnpeacefulme]

Oh and whoever the lead singer was...that boy was sangin his ass off...

[redjam40]

This is a Great Song. I have put my hands and say I have never heard this until heard it here first.

I was around at this time as well. Must have just missed it. Great tune. Love the groove on this track

[anacleto42]
