Melvin Sparks (March 22, 1946 – March 15, 2011) Rest in Peace! Your soulful music lives on in all of us musicians that you inspired. A funkier guitarist never walked the earth!!
I remember having the pleasure of meeting you in Syracuse NY, and playing a couple licks on that gorgeous geetar your playin in the video. I didn't have my camera, maybe next time.
I put this one together for WFDU fund drive 04 or 05? this was the first live on air (6 hrs of history making radio man!) w/ all-stars group & last minute I'd got Dae Bennett to come run sound, thank G for him! He had nothing to do with the video though. I had no idea there was one or forgot it was shot, but by whom? Is there is more footage? with me, Rob Paparrozzi, John Tropea, Anthony Jackson, Jimmy and Jerry Vivino, I know I'm forgetting many more. luv u!
Thanks, this is not my working band as this band is basically an "all star" band put together by the radio station that put this show on! Go to my site to hear the current working (MSB) band which contains a real "B3".

I would have, but I was busy praying for world peace...
(It's great music to listen to while doing so, though! ;-)

Nice band Melvin!The only thing I didn't like was the cheesy keyboard sounds.Those were some of the worst organ patches I've ever heard!

Ho man, that grooves!!! It's the case when people FEEL the music. No need to show off. I LOVE that jam session! Congrats from Switzerland!
