Got the Funk!

Post by mazz » Wed Sep 12, 2007 1:29 pm

Got the funky forward with all 9s across the board!! (Gloat, Gloat) The screener said they wanted to dance around with an afro wig on and big platform shoes!Authentic-sounding 1970s-style FUNK/SOUL/R&B/DISCO INSTRUMENTALS (no vocals) in the vein of Parliament/Funkadelic, the Isley Bros., Rick James, Bootsy Collins, War, the S.O.S. Band, Sly & The Family Stone, etc. are wanted by the President of an LA-based Music Library.Dynomite!I know others got the forward too, post that stuff here so we can groove on it, man!

Mazz,My screener wanted to do the "Hustle" and also added "Truly what the listing had in mind" and "Great Disco track"I'm beginning to be a little concerned about knowing this style a little too well I may need to pick up my white suit from the cleaners, it's been there since 1974 Got all 8"s and a forward.http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... eam=1Chuck
