Wayman Tisdale -- hall of fame collegiate hoops star, all-star NBA professional, world-renown contemporary jazz bassist and ... undercover funkateer? Yes, Wayman lived a rich and varied life yet an unaware planet never learnt of his longing to play funk music. Some lucky-ass fans got a glimpse into his alter-ego of 'Tiz' onstage, but most of us knew him simply as a gentle giant of music and life. Tiz is the six foot eight (in platforms and full 'fro) swaggering funk master whom led The Fonkie Planetarians along the hallowed yet greasy pathways trod by funk purveyors Parliament-Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins, Cameo, et al.
In fact major players George Clinton and George Duke have joined in the festivities of The Fonk Record, as had the late Ali Woodson (The Temptations and you know it doesn't get any funkier than Motown).
This is the real deal fonk with a story hatched from mind and soul of 'The Fonklord' himself.
Join Sunshine, Tha Hoinzz, Tha Suckaz, Stinky the Sock and the regal, yet fonkie Tiz for low-down dirty stomp in The Fonk Record -- prepare to get fonkified!
