I'm not much of a hip hop fan (or is that trip hop?), but I liked that. I'll have to check them out.

I wore this record out back in the day. Wonder is a musical genius and SITKOL is his best work.

Not a tune to create earworms with but definitely the best use of marbles I've ever seen.

and they do have other members. The young man in this video is one of four. Plus, he loves music-boxes, which is what inspired him to make this machine. He has videos of him making it, and I believe he said initially he thought it would only take him a month to make it. It took fourteen months

You need to go back to the originators.

The father of all funk, James Brown.

The greatest practitioners of funk, Parliament-Funkadelic. The leader of that band, George Clinton, was honored by Mark Ronson and friends band when they won awards this year.

This also reminds me of Kool and the Gang and Morris Day and the Time. Jungle Boogie and Jungle Love.

all this before 1975.

Seriously, "I Wish" didn't get as much airplay as "Sir Duke" from Stevie Wonder's album, and that bugged me since I thought "Sir Duke" wasn't too good. Especially Wonder repeating himself endlessly on "Sir Duke."
