Something good indeed.

Wooo, gave me thrills! Funk at its best.
I'd be glad to find some live Stevie Wonder singing with her...

They say Stevie wrote that song with Chaka in mind.

Really?

I didn't even see comments bellow on youtube. Probably was I hypnotized

Rufus had the best B side Funk material too.
I saw the Funkadelics, Rufus and George Duke years back.
Groups that groove like that don't even need lights or theatrical gimmickry.
Nice find.

Funkadeliks. George Clinton, Bootsy and all. Reference!
Where did I put these CDs... I miss not having them on vinyl though...

One nation, under a groove!

Fantastic post!
Seeing this prompted me to dust off my copy of Rufusized. Still sounds FRESH! I love 'Once you get started'. I have all of their 70's albums (on vinyl!), they went off the boil a bit in the 80's add did so many of their peers.

Still loving George Duke, Bootsy, Funkadelic, the JB's, Headhunters, Sly Stone, Ohio Players, those guys could PLAY!

i'm so funky, i gotta do my show from a mile away...

A real shame I am too young for having had the chance to see these girls&guys live...

I would have loved to see "The Midnight Special" series on the tv here in the 70's, but it never made it. We had a cool show from '69 - '75 called GTK, which was music for young folks - on the government channel. Awesome for a child of the time (me), local and international rock'n'roll on a b&w telly

I use to watch Ed Sullivan against my father wishes.
We went next door to my Uncles because he ran a nightime produce stand.....
Saw the Jacksons, Elvis, Doors, Joplin, Beatles, Smokey Robinson, Supremes, Temptations...
Mono in B & W was so cool back then.
Without music where would be right now...?

My fave was catching James Brown on Merv Griffin after school on afternoon tv. Cultural dissonance.

For an amazing film of 60s era performances, you gatta see the T.A.M.I. show (teenage music international). It has some classic Marvin Gaye, Smokey, even Leslie Gore was great, and JB upstaging the closing act Mick & the Stones - monumental.

Nice.

Love this one as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ANMN17-kt8

Dude, Leslie Gore employs all of us here. I sub for her occasionally.
She had a house gig here at the Stardust before they tore it down. She's a class act.
Ruth Brown was always playing and lived here too. Every Thursady night we could watch her.
I sat in with them too but LGore had the charts and a more produced show.
BBKIng lives and still plays here, and while many think these are old tired performers, they're not. Plus they have the best cats jamming too. It's like old tunes redone with great new sounds and style. BB is still authentic though,and the old boards player still has his beat to shut Wurly and RMI...

Darkrezin's link was way cool too. Chaka was so cute !!! Love the feathers and shit too.
Was that the Dick Cavett show...?
Everyone had the secret agent haircut back then, well, except the Brotha's. Superfly and Link from the ModSquad set the styles back then.

Looked like Mike Douglas (another afternoon variety show). Very square guy but he had great guests.
