The first step on my way to the groovy Oneness was 'Masterpiece' by the Temptations in the early seventies. Luscious vocals with spacey mix over pulsating rhythm totally melted my then slightly high-brow heart.




Then I met those funky ladies of Labelle fame. Great singing, great musicians and great New Orleans rhythms with that nearly falling-off-the-chair kinda syncopation. Here's a lecture on astronomy.




But then found out Bootsy. Ever since after the ' Ahh... The Name Is Bootsy Baby' I have known I'm at it. On The One

...and this guy..

Man, I wore that album out! One of the baddest-assest tracks ever is on that album: "High On Your Love / One Mo Hit". The whole thing is 7-and-a-half minutes, but it's worth hearing the whole thing if you've never heard it. The way Rick and the band build it and transition to "One Mo Hit" is just epic -- the band is just on fire!

Heard this on KSOL 107.7FM in the Bay Area.

Ha, yes, KSOL was thee funk/soul station back in the day. I still have cassette tapes from when I recorded tracks off the radio, and occasionally you'll hear the DJ saying "K - S - O - L" to the beat at the end of the song. The good ol' days.

Such a great performance, and not ONE shot of the bass player, who's driving this nasty, funky bus.
