Trouble Funk - Live, venue unknown - "Lonzo get busy!"
sho' nuff bumpin bizznatch! I've seen them live too many times to count. Trouble Funk & Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers. Course it's labeled "go-go" but certainly is by far soem of the best live, funk/r&b/jazz/soul I ever had the opportunity to experience. I actually got pulled up on stage in dc once at the Warner Theater when we went to see Chuck Brown. 16 years old and white lol thank god I could dance.
Chuck Brown, yeah! "Run Joe, Run Joe"! All that great percussion and the shout outs, pure interactive entertainment. I was a long-haired white boy of German descent - my people did those fucked-up dances to oom-pah music with lederhosen on after too much Bock beer. I sho' nuff was the odd man out...
But do you remember the semi-legendary Redds and the Boys?
I'll be on IM tomorrow night, let's chat for a bit.
Oh wow, kick ass. Percussion and Horns! your people are midgets? I played one in the wizard of oz maybe we are related LMAO...
Run Joe was good although I liked 1970s Chuck Brown the best like Bustin Loose and I need Some Money, talkin bout money money money. Cuz we all know it don't mean a thing if you ain't got the go-go swing! K i need to listen to some now.
Seriously though that rocks, hell, if you were ever at a live show we might have run into each other back then.
Familiar w/ Redds & the Boys sure... What about Little Benny & the Masters, Hot Cold Sweat, Rare Essense, EU, The Junkyard Band. Still have a lot of it on vinyl, been able to find some really good classic mp3s too. Def. IM me I should be around.
Check it out Zen... New song of his but definitely the same ole Chuck.
Country Boy. Love them horns. (zipped mp3)
