Us English owe a huge debt of gratitude to those wonderful American Soulnfunk grooves. Many.. Many gettin' down times.. no one seems to mention Stargard anymore..they were the Capital of FUNK in the 70's with 'which way is up' & 'what you waiting for'. Absolutely Mint!

      Not crazy to me @el champeon. Good music is good music. Also I think radio stations played more variety then. I grew up in a Black American family outside of Seattle and mostly everyone was Swedish or Norwegian descent. We listened to everything back then. Rock, Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers, Bob Denver, and all kinds of R&B music. I was a little kid, but oldest bro and sister were teens during this era. I remember opening my window so that I could listen to the teenagers conversations and their music. My siblings didn't want their little sisters around them all of the time. We had to follow along in secret. Ha!
