Lars schreef:Toch nog een detailkritiek: wat funk en disco e.d. betrof, had ik de indruk dat veel van de fragmenten alleen maar in de quiz zaten omdat ze veel later door iemand gesampeld waren. Dit is wel eens interessant, maar is toch niet dé norm voor de relevantie van de muziek (als ik een zwaar woord als "relevantie" mag gebruiken, ik vind niet direct een beter).
Dat moet ik toch tegenspreken Lars
hier de nummers in kwestie met enkele commentaren van gespecialiseerde sites
o.a Discomusic.com
Jackie Moore - This time baby werd gesampled door de Freemasons vandaar het bijvraagje maar was op zich een hele grote disco-hit en een absolute classic.
Jackie Moore had a huge Disco hit with 1979's "This Time Baby" on Columbia Records. It has since gone on to become an out and out Disco classic. "This Time Baby" was a remake of the O'Jay's song from the year before.
Machine - There but the grace of God go I
Machine had an awsome Disco hit with "There But For the Grace of God Go I," which was thought to be racist-of course it wasn't. The radio version changed the great hook line "let's find a place they say, somewhere far away, with no Blacks, no Jews & no gays, but for the grace of god go i" to "somewhere far away, where only upper class people stay..."
DC LaRue - Cathedrals
Best known release was "Cathedrals", an excellent bus-stop number.
The track was released on a 45 in the U.K. with the full length album version on the flip.
Bobby O - She has a way
I don't think your average deejay would necessarily classify this record as a CLASSIC, but I beg to differ. Every time, I mean every single time I played and remixed this record, I got a tremendous reception. It would pack the floor, or maintain the dance floor full. A definite PRIME TIME PLAYER.
La Flavour - Mandolay
This is an awesome song, which they still perform in the clubs today!!
Change - A lovers holiday
Haalde hitparade in diverse landen
Instant Funk - I got my mind made up
Haalde hitparade in diverse landen
Prince Charles & City beat band - I'm a fool for love
uit zijn LP Stonekillers, fantastische funkplaat
Headhunters - God made me funky
Hitsingle Afkomstig van één van de beste funk platen allertijden 'Survival of the fittest'
This was from the album cut by Herbie Hancock's back-up group soon after the massive unexpected popularity of Herbie's Headhunters LP. It's actually much better than Herbie's own follow-up LP, Thrust. The 1st track, God Made Me Funky, is everything the title promises, with a really great, greasy guitar riff (by Blackbird McKnight) holding it all together. One of the very best jazz-funk cuts of all time.
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman. - Ludwig Van Beethoven
