Funky Friday - Son of Shaft
So I haven’t posted in a week… I guess that’s what happens when I’m back in town. At least I have a decent sized list of youtube bookmarks to share — I wanted to start with a certain private dick that’s a sex machine to all the chicks, but that’s a little too easy now, isn’t it. (although I think the live version I’m linking to is worth checking out — Ike and Jesse Jackson!)
So instead here’s a slightly lesser-known “follow-up” by the Bar-Kays, who were quite possibly the funkiest men alive in their time. It’s fairly different from the album version I’m used to, but it’s certainly as much of a powerhouse. And the outfits totally rock.
It’s not easy choosing just one song from the Bar-Kays, as they seemed to put out one masterpiece after another in their heyday. So expect at least a couple more in the coming weeks.
