RIBS: A Monday Mix… “Funk Jammin”…

Music. Thank God for music. It does help sooth the soul during those trying times.

Here’s a rare Monday Mix from the Rhythms In Black Satin kitchen. Still in a serious “party down, give-me-the-funk” frame of mind as I try to break free of these shackles, obstacles and challenges that life is battering me with right now.

Like last week’s Triple Play Thurs-Day, this one is an all uptempo, fast mix.  We start you off with some funk courtesy of the Brides of Funkenstein (Never Buy Texas From A Cowboy), The Isley Brothers (Fight The Power) and Foxy (Get Off). From there Billy Ocean, MFSB, The Emotions and The Originals pick up the groove and move it further along. The centerpiece of the mix belongs to Brick with a back-to-back double play of their hits, Ain’t Gonna Hurt Nobody and Dazz (Disco Jazz). To wrap it all up, we reach way back and pull out the Buddy Miles classic, Them Changes, and then finish out the mix with a few disco-era cuts: a forgotten groove from Isaac Hayes, the title track to the album Chocolate Chip; Do It Any Way You Wanna Do It by People’s Choice; and [IMHO] THE signature track that epitomized the entire disco craze, Disco Circus by Martin Circus.

Oh, and lest I forget, a special “shout out and ‘Thank you’” to EJ (of Old School Wednesday & EJFlavors.com fame) for helping me cop a clean copy of The Emotions cut. Every Wednesday like clockwork EJ be puttin’ down his OSW music mix. Don’t start YOUR Wednesday without it!

So… a Monday mix, some “Funk Jammin” to start off the week.

Enjoy!
