Listening to this, I can see the huge influence Sugarfoot and the Ohio Players had on the 70's funk bands! And if you don't believe it...listen to OP's I Wanna Be Free after you listen to this. Everybody was trying to sound like Sugar...that includes Larry Blackmon of Cameo too!. Don't get me wrong...Michael Cooper was a bad boy too! He had some great songs during and after Con-Funk-Shun
i'm tryin to find a certain song and its a lil similar to this. i've been having a real hard time trying to find it cuz i don't know the name of it. all i know is dat in da song it goes shoop....shoop.....shoop....shoop. And its real slow old school jam. can anyone help me?
Does MC acknolwedge .. .the "ow" and the "shoop" ... EXACTLY like Sugah did for the Ohio Players in "I Want to be Free" ... even same groove and similar chords (not exactly, tho).
@ DullardGuy. I agree to some deree about Michael Cooper being the voice of Con funk shun... Just take another listen to some of the other songs led by Felton Pilate.... Love shine, Make it last... etc... But MC was definitely the man in the latter years of Con funk shun.
I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Cooper a few years ago,when Con Funk Shun played at Indiana Black Expo. I did volunteer work for IBE at the time as I had for the previous 6 years. It was my job to make sure the music acts were checked into their hotel rooms. I have met quite a few.....Patti Labelle,O'Jays,Dramatics,etc and I have NEVER,I repeat NEVER met a nicer person than Michael Cooper. Close 2nd is L.J. Reynolds
lol! this is why i love youtube...imagine someone from the past - 30 years ago maybe - peering into this page & post....they'd wonder what the heck is a "my space?" so funny...anyway so great to hear these bands again...i had forgotten about con funk shun...amazing.
OmG!! I was 10 when this came out and it was one of my favorite songs!! I didn't quite understand the lyrics because I was young, but I knew it had a nice groove. LOL@ 1:37! They were groovin'!
Did C-F-S ever acknowledge their debt to the Ohio Players on this song? The whole "shoop" background is almost exactly from "I want to be Free" by OP. Also, the lead singer in this song emulated "Sugar's" vocal style through part of the song. Hope they gave attribution!
Coop had some hits back n da day
