"Wood Beez" Scritti Politti, Double Door/Chi., 11/4/06

This is a video of Green Gartside and his band, Scritti Politti, throwing down the classic song, "Wood Beez". They performed Nov. 4th, 2006 at Chicago's Double Door to an adoring crowd. People were dancing like mad, and many fans were singing loudly around me. But, for a small and simple digital camera, the overall video turned out pretty well, I think! Enjoy, SP fans and SP fans-2-B!

@NickDuvet Ditto. I remember hearing it first time on the radio in Feb 84 and thinking 'What the HELL?'

Scritti Politti is my fav band of the 80s, i mixed hypnotyze, absolute, sugar and spice, perfect way...

Probably the best funky pop group of this decade.

cheers Nic

I'm surprise that not that many people are aware of Scritti Politt. This song was played in clubs around the world around 1984. Absolute did not get much played (I wonder), and Perfect Way was the one that finally got main stream played. This guy, Green Gartside was the one that popularized the funky beat with pop flavor in England & eventually around the world... Probably one of the very best of the 80's.

Amazed and happy that Green's popped his head up again for us/ Ha ha he would have laughed at that sentence.

Originally record sessions (never released) producer was legendary Nile Rodgers of CHIC (who also produced Madonna, David Bowie,...).

After some money problems the new producer was another legend : Arif Mardin.

and even without the studio polish, he actually sings like that. Check out my footage of 'the sweetest girl'
