@ Morefactlessfiction7, Lady Bee (AKA Wendy Clark) is on WRNB. I am 45 and I can remember this version and The Black Heat verision. I also watched Brutus, Fat Larry's Band, and Breakwater @ Awbury Park battle to see who could do the better version in like 1975. Breakwater won. I always did and love this music.

Who did it originally? Kool and the Gang?
This is from "Music is the Message" album.
Still funky though.

Correct! I've had this posting for several years and never paid any attention. Thanx for your astuteness and patronage of the funk!

When I was on the westside I used to check out places like Cornacopia, Winnfield Ballroom, Olympia Ballroom, etc. Can't forget the Cozy Nook with Lady B and Bobby Dance!

Yo Wali, Sorry I couldn't holla earlier but i was wondering where a good party for oldheads could swing. I'm a grandpop but still on occassion like to cut a groove. I don't do bars and the club set is not my scene. So watup?

I did the military thing too and remember being out Cali and those girls loved us Philly cats for the way we dressed danced and most of all no jerry curl juices! Even the NYC boys had to stand up and take notes! They got hip hop but Philly got tha funk!

And you know this! Jeri Curls?? That was a L.A. thing, some Switch /Debarge bullshit. We didn't play that and knew that set was corny. The music they was playin was cool. Hip Hop was on the rise and NYC held it down and we cut the beat with remixes of Funkadelic and Schooly D that slayed. NYC boys was givin up the respect though Chi Town and DC was holdin' but they were country. My best friend was a dude from Hartford who had my back unlimited with much love and respect both ways.
