As part of their 15th Anniversary celebrations, the Toronto Raptors honored former PF Charles Oakley Wednesday night, an occasion that has me checking the schedule to see when Doug Christie’s number is being retired. The Globe & Mail’s Michael Grange used the opportunity to recall a time when the legendary clotheshorse/gourmand/Michael Jordan wingman wasn’t [...]

This song was mentioned in the funky, Wild Cherry thread. The ubran legend surrounding the Ohio Players version of this song had a woman screaming in the background as she was murdered while the song was being recorded.

Old German music program '''Beat Club''' was a superb program back when it was on (before my time though). There's now a website My Beat Club which has tons of live footage from the show, interestingly much of it shot abroad in the UK like The Ohio Players - Fire . I highly recommend MC5 - Kick Out The Jams , one of the many Ramones tracks, Eric Burdon & War - Spill The Wine , the Equals - Baby...

When I left you on Friday I promised I’d be dropping something funky today, and [...]
