Ultra Funky!

Ultra Funky!

Jazz, Funk, Disco?

Pt II – More from the LP shelf

Welcome back crate diggers, continuing the theme I started the other week, here’s some more tunes for which I’m not really sure the appropriate ‘genre’ label. It’s possible that some of these tunes might be defined as Jazz-Funk, some might be Funk and some might even be classed as Disco.

As before these are monster tunes from monster artists and come from LPs produced between the late 60′s and mid 80′s. I expect this to be part 2 of 4, based on the number of LPs I’m pulling from the shelves.

In today’s mix I bring you Ultrafunk, Gary Toms Empire, P-Funk All Stars, George Clinton, Parliament and the Ohio Players; whilst only 11 tunes in this mix, it’s 66 minutes long; so as always grab a seat, or pull on your dancing shoes and enjoy:

  • Who Is He (What Is He To You) – Ultrafunk
  • Everybody Up – Ohio Players
  • 1-2-3-4 (Let’s Do It Again) – Gary Toms Empire
  • Generator Pop – P-Funk All Stars
  • Party People – Parliament
  • Computer Games – George Clinton
  • Love Rollercoaster – Ohio Players
  • Use Me – Ultrafunk
  • Say It – Ohio Players
  • My Ladies Run Me Crazy – Ohio Players
  • Kung Fu Man – Ultrafunk

If this music is to your liking be sure to pop back soon for parts 3 and 4, including a special addition from Christopher CoShea Campbell (son of the late William Edgar Campbell, aka Eddie Campbell of ‘Eddie & Ernie’ fame).

Jazz, Funk, Disco? Who cares? It grooves and it's the grooves that count...
