Well I really didn't expect anyone to reply, but am glad that a few
did. Yesterday I went out to buy GFR's album On Time, but had no
luck finding it. So I dropped $40 and bought the Thirty Years of
Funk........I haven't stopped listening to it. It's got a great
history of the band and the music's amazing. I can tell it's not
really blues, but it's got soul. I guess it's their Mowtown
influence. They also sound really funky. I mean I find myself just
sitting there bobbing my head up and down like I'm in a rap video.
I can't believe I've missed out on these guys. I'm listening to the
song Walk Like a Man...."by the time I'm in my prime I'm gonna strut
like a cock until I'm 99"....that's great! I must say that I like
the song Footstompin' Music better than Rock 'n Roll Soul. To me it
just seems funkier. I also forgot how much Some Kind Of Wonderful
rocks. I couldn't stop listening to it last night. I'm seeing a
girl that I've known for a couple of years and the song really hits
home. Is it true that Don Brewer was lead vocals on that song? And
how come Mark Farner hasn't been touring? I would imagine it's
because he's a born again christian. Anyway, thanks for the
responses and I hope to hear from y'all soon.

Later,
Mike
