I’ve always had a real love for funk and soul music. Sly and The Family Stone, George Clinton, Marie Queenie Lyons, Earth Wind and Fire etc. It’s a shame that it’s almost nonexistent in the current musical trends. Those old funk acts were far more musically talented than the auto-tuned crud that makes up so much of the top 40 these days.
BTW, on a completely random note: I always thought “Soulfinger” by the Bar-Kays would make a great personal themesong. I mean, wouldn’t it be great if everytime you walked into a room, the opening horns to that one started playing?
