Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis would leave The Time and carve out one of the most successful productions teams in music.

Fine ass Chaka Khan.

I'd say this sucks but at least some of BEP brain dead fans can see an actual musician playing an actual instrument. Fergie, please don't butcher the classics.

Contains a sample of, "Down Here on the Ground" performed by Grant Green. It was a live recording actually if your looking for it.

Victor is a beast.

This bands sound evolves so fast and often. Can someone post a clip from their funk bass, jazz drum and pure banjo period.

I love Youtube, where else can you find treasures like this?

Remember when The Dan won a Grammy for "Two Against Nature" and Walter turned their acceptance speech into a trivia contest? Irreverent till this day and we love you for it Steely Dan.

A guitarist friend of mine played this for me today and I'm hearing it for the first time. Great song. I'm an instant fan.

Bon and Phil have on the same shirt, WTF?

Thanks for posting, I used to link combos to this for days.

@PsychobillyBombshell your in for a treat.

The Mode are just one of those bands there for you to love.

Interesting fact: Sandy "Pepa" Denton mentions in her book that she, Salt, Hurby (their producer) Martin Lawrence and Kid and Play all worked as sales associates for the Sears department chain at the same time prior to making it as entertainers.

Does anyone know how they achieved this effect?.

Bravo! I grew up on rap music but I must say it's really good to see young cats playing traditional music at a time when music seems to be getting further and further away from its roots. Keep up the good work.

MJ your music makes me so happy.

You can almost see them snorting blow during the recording.

The dog is thinking, "man if the guys down at the fire hydrant see me in this get up I'll never hear the end of it."

--CONFIRMED -- Jan, 31, 2012. If you have a body type that cant fit through the crack have a friend or nearby player who can enter the slit in the wall and initiate a duel. Use a gap closing CD to charge the "enemy" player and you can gain access to DC. I'm not sure of what other gap closing cds ...

These cats must have spent a fortune on activator.

WTF are Jam and Lewis doing there? Them cats prolly still ain't spent none of the millions they made with Janet Jackson!

Wow there are a lot of nuances behind throwing some of these different pitches.

Mail him to my P.O. Box since he's already been packaged.

1987 taking the School Bus to Kieller Middle School. "Candy" would come across the speakers and we would all go nuts! It was like a bolt of color, energy and excitement all rolled into one. Fantastic song.

@InfinityNebula Point well taken: "truth be told Prince stole a lot from James" but Prince also took a lot of Larry Graham, Hendrix and Sly Stone and fused into one compelling persona. Quincy Jones said that's exactly what Sammy Davis Jr. and Michael Jackson did to propel themselves to the strato...

Quincy Jones told the story of how a young Clifford Brown offered some words of encouragement to Toots after Down Beat magazine had made some unflattering remarks about his playing, which as this video shows was way off base. Great tone and sense of harmony.

I love how everyone has a different cadence to the chorus. Harmonies today are so artificially augmented. Listen to that rhythm section rupture when Mr. Cotton starts playing that axe!

Will the original lineup play at their induction into the Rock and Roll hall of fame? One can only hope.

Probably one of he funniest skits on a CD ever.

@RoyalCandii Rumor has it that Karyn Parsons aka Hilary Banks from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air did the voice over work for that skit. I could be wrong.

Is this the show they quoted in My Addidas? "I stepped on stage, at Live Aid

All the people gave and the poor got paid." If so it's cool to see the very performance that inspired the verse.

"The Ballad of Dorothy Parker" by Prince brought me here.

The one minute mark cracks me up, a bird mocking a cat, too funny.

@MrKentuckyHeadhunter "If you don't own 3 feet high and rising, shame on you." Lol my sentiments exactly.

The chorus to this song is a word for word explanation of how I feel about a very special woman out there. Maybe one day we will be together.

@GcTheHardstyler If you have not seen them already check out: "Pump Up The Volume - Part 1 - The History Of House Music". 3 part series. And: "Video explains the world's most important 6-sec drum loop." Could not paste the url here for some reason.

"When I blew up the spot/last year on The Box." That was so ill B.

Easy to forget how many hits these cats had.

(sounding like Butt Head) Uh, is that like, Magnum P.I. ?
