Friday Funk #7 - Talkin Loud and Sayin nothin - James Brown
I just had to include this Number 1 hit, not because it’s one of his best but simply because it’s where I scalped the first half of the borrowed beats intro music.
Previously:
Friday Funk #6 - Fight the Power - The Isley Brothers
Fight the Power is a 1975 protest song, inspiring the Public Enemy protest two decades later.
Friday Funk #5 - Just dropped in to see what condition my.. - Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings
Originally recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis in 1967, apparently about an LSD experience. this version was released in 2005 having been recorded for a KFC add but never used.
Friday Funk #4 - The Watts Breakaway - Johnny Oti
The Watts Breakaway is apparently about a dance craze sung by a Greek Cypriot and one time preacher Johnny Otis, inspired by the low rent riot torn ghetto of the Watts Projects.
Friday Funk #3 - Staussmania - Salinas
Danniel Salinas penned this great track for the movie Blaxploitation.
Friday Funk #2 - Your way too - Dragons
Your way too was originally recorded in 1973 and forgotten until it was unearthed by DJ Food, and finally released in September of this year. Brand new retro.
Friday Funk #1 - Green Day - Mo’ Horizons (12” remix)
This Mo’ Horizons track sparked the idea for a Friday Funk Series. It was released just 3 days before I posted it, making the first friday funk feel fully fresh.
