The Time

I should be slapped for being from Minneapolis and not owning a single album by Morris Day & The Time. And suggestions on where to start?

Nice work man. I'm currently listening to these cuts. I'll let you know what I think!

Also...do you work in the print industry too?

Yes I do. Circulation dept. Here're a couple more:

Alright man, I've listened to a bunch of these cuts. All tight as hell! I went out looking for Slave's debut album. Apparently it's out of print and mad expensive. So I downloaded it for a listen and have bumped it a couple times now - excellent material!

I'll be using this thread as sort of a "master template" for my future funk purchases. I basically know nothing except for what you guys are laying down here....aside from a few acts.

Question: Funk vs. Disco?

I know there is a clear difference. But I don't really know how to articulate it. It goes like this - my mom and dad (middle aged white people born on rock 'n' roll) have never heard of a genre known as "funk". They're like, "you mean disco?". Is it just a white person thing? lol...I mean, I always stress the fact that the are different, but they don't get it. I think they are under the impression it's all dance/pop Bee Gee's sounding shit. lol...anyway, random thought I know...but I thought I'd bring it up...

Yeah BITD a lot of whites thought anything black and non-Motown was disco; they couldn't tell the differences between Atlantic Starr, Parliament/Funkadelic, Unlimited Touch, Willie Hutch and Crown Heights Affair (that would be R&B, funk, disco-funk, soul and straight disco respectively) and STILL can't tell......

Are you familiar with the Jesse Johnson Revue? Jesse Johnson was the guitarist for the time.







And Mazarati?





And Tamara & The Seen?

LOL...maybe you should read before making ASSumptions? I own 4 albums by them (one of which I had on tape and just bought the CD). Just adding to the collection...

Lol, I didn't feel like reading all of that. Too much work.

You could have asked...lol. Plus, I don't think I'd be asking about The Time, Slave, or Ohio Players without ever hearing Parliament/Funkadelic. I mean, that'd be like skipping Run-DMC if I hadn't.

@Alan next I'm going to post some vids of some really obscure shit. That'll have to wait 'til tomorrow.......(yaaaaawwwwwwn) I'm out. Peace,

@Alan here you go..........





















































Aight I'm done. I see I've strayed from the original theme of this thread but these are obscure nonetheless. Next up, the JAZZ! (Powell should be able to appreciate some of these).

Thanks GK3....I'll check these out soon! All I've been listening to is funk lately.
