I have all his old stuff. Fell in love with his stuff from watching Hoolihan and Big Chuck. They had a skit that used Troglodyte. RIP Jimmy. Thanks for the funk!

Two words: "KING KONG!" Man, I LOVED that song! Jimmy's stuff was very funny and exceedingly funky. RIP.

I see what u did there!

But man, this is a bummer. I got the Jimmy Castor Bunch's It's Just Begun album when it first came out (1972?) and it turned me into a rabid funk fan! Long before I discovered George Clinton, Ohio Players, or Kool & The Gang, I was trying to teach my white suburban 13-year-old bandmates tunes like "Troglodyte", "It's Just Begun", and "Ltd"

(...and failing misreably.)
