As Bob Burtman would say, "Icksnay on the uck-fay" as the Parliament Funkadelic live version of "Tear The Roof Off" commenced to play.
Some songs that James Brown made famous and then decided to rerecord. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
James Brown - I Feel Good (1975) Not the version you're used to hearing.
James Brown - Problems (1975) If you Google "James Brown" and "Problems", it will take a LONG time to get to this song.
James Brown - It’s A New Day (1970) My favorite song by JB.
Parliament-Funkadelic - Tear The Roof Off (Live 1976) Do not listen if the swears offend you.
The Clash - Radio Clash (Remix) (1980)
African Music Machine - Mr. Brown (1974)
Chuck Brown - B.A.D. (1984)
George McCrae - I Get Lifted (1974) From Wikipedia: He was about to return to college to study law enforcement, when Richard Finch and Harry Wayne Casey of KC and the Sunshine Band invited him to sing the lyrics for a song that they had recorded for the band, but could not reach the high notes that were required for the song. The original intention was that Gwen, his wife, should record it, but she was late for the session and George recorded alone. The rest is history! Finch and Casey began their decade-long chart dominance. People don't recall what a big influence the Miami Sound had on dance floors and AM radios all over the country. You just can't fake those grooves.
Jimmy “Bo” Horne - Let Me (Be Your Lover) (1978) Sampled by Stereo MC's to fine effect.
Jimmy “Bo” Horne - Dance Across The Floor (1978)
Ron Louis Smith - Make Me Know It (1978) Ronald Louis Smith is the original KC and the Sunshine Band trumpet player and the leader of the horn section and choreographer. He created all the dance moves the band was famous for. The Sunshine Band was formerly called the Ocean Liner Band. Ronald Louis Smith wrote/produced the hit disco record "Spank" artist Jimmy Bo Horne.
He arranged and played the trumpet parts in the big reggae record "Buffalo Soldier" by Bob Marley. He also worked with Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine at Miami Sound Studio.
Chicago - What’s This World Coming To (1973) I love Chicago albums V, VI, and VII. As good a trio of records any group recorded in the '70s consecutively, except for Stevie.
Bobby Rydell - Sway (1976) This is not the original 1960 hit, but an attempt to modernize through the demon known at the time as Disco. Many, many artists rode the train to sadness. Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Kate Smith, Bobby Hebb, so so many.
Frank Sinatra - All Or Nothing At All (1977) This is not the original 1939 hit, but an attempt to modernize through the demon known at the time as Disco. Many, many artists rode the train to sadness. Bobby Rydell, Sammy Davis, Kate Smith, Bobby Hebb, so so many.
The Beach Boys - Here Comes The Night (1979) This is not the original 1967 song, but an attempt to modernize through the demon known at the time as Disco. Many, many artists rode the train to sadness. Ringo Starr, Rod Stewart, The Hollies, so so many.
Osmonds - I, I, I (1979) Produced by Maurice Gibb. No answer from Robin or Barry.
Jeff Lynne - Goin’ Down To Rio (1977) From his two-sided dance single. Attendant dance steps on the cover. He was in The Move.
Bobby Hebb - Sunny ’76 (1976)
Neil Diamond - Dancing In The Streets (1979)
Elton John - Thunder In The Night (1979)
Lawrence Hilton Jacobs - Kiss and Tell (1979)
Maureen McGovern - I’m Happy Just To Dance With You (1979)
Sammy David Jr. - We’ll Make It This Time (Theme from "Kojak") (1976)
Tom Jones - Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina (1979)
