I have been going through my Motown and funk collection this week.
It is Music that I was not much into in my youth, massive headbanger over here, but as I have opened small bits of my mind, I love this and I wasted years not giving it an additional chance.
First time for me to open up some was the first time when I worked with Rick James, who backed up Boston Ballet. Boston Ballet was all jazz and funk dancing crew that were so fucking athletic that anyone would be impressed.
One of their warm up routines was a standing line and everyone leapfrogged over the one in front for about twenty minutes. Then lay down with their feet up and each would run over the groups feet. Insane, but it led to some amazing choreography later in the show.
All with Rick James twelve piece band making the jazz/funk music. No singing, just fucking WOW!
Ohio Players. I know it's not Christmas fare, but neither am I. I just want Christmas over and done.
