As a white teen growing up in the 70's, I never could get enough funk. The old school music of the 70's and early 80's was the best, especially funk and soul. Sure do miss those days. Best days of my life...and the best music, too!!
God I miss bands like Con funk Shun. The eighties had the best of the best. There are just too many bands to mention. The Gap band, Rick james Cameo, Bar Kay’s , Whispers, midnight Star, The Deele, RFTW. The Time. It goes on and on. A era that will never come again. Today’s music I’m sorry to say just plan sucks.
OMG You just hit a HOMERUN with those comments 4SURE ‼️💃🕺💃🕺🔥Great music like this doesn't have a time stamp 🎯💕🤗💋💖🙌🏿🌟🎉✨️Still listening how about Dec 12 2023😊💃🕺💃
And what put the icing on a cake is that they played their own instruments, not this Push a button on a computer to make a drum sound to make a guitar sound because if you put it in context, someone had to play those instruments to begin with in order for the computer to imitate them. I love how Felton pilot goes from playing the trombone to sing into going back to playing the trombone pure talent.
I love this group! They are vintage now but their sound is still great! I’m still listening and just love them so much!! Voices, outfits, it all works for them!!
Sad to say these days are gone real bands real music real lyrics I could go on for hours about this type of music but the good thing is we can relive those memories by seeing and hearing things like this there will never ever be music like this again all the work ethnics have changed it's just about the money have a good day
The one and only, unfadable Con Funk Shun showing their rule over the last of the funk eras in the 80's. If this cut don't make U get and shake and dance, U must be dead or suffering from paralysis.
I like this because in those days, brothers were not afraid to smile, look happy and radiant some positive energy. I miss that and I think that was important to see as a small black boy in those days.
Man you ain't lied, I totally feel you! This is the stuff my dad raised me on, and he was a very stoic old school black man. He was a Vietnam vet, who grew up in the Pratt City neighborhood of Birmingham Alabama before the end of segregation. His dad was a coal miner in the Pratt mine. He was usually a VERY intense and serious man. Get some of his funk or soul music goin and he'd genuinely be happy, smiling, singing along. Which was a very rare sight, some of my favorite memories of my pops, God rest his soul.
No one today, can top Con Funk Shun! Felt on and Michael, were and still are multi talented!! I've got to be enough!!! Ouu Think about it! Priceless!! 🎶💋🎷💞🎸💋🎶
Hahahah you got that right lol these brothers can sing , hold and play instruments at the same time that's genius !!! There no group today can do what they do
Mint Condition....those guys are amazing! Pretty Brown eyes is such a badass tune - perfect blend of amazing harmonies and raw musicianship. Those guys can play! Believe In Us is a gem as well...
They had to do away with this how else r u going to steal God ppl soul I read when alex the butcher said when he got to n afrika we were jamming so hard with our band on the battlefield he had to take his men off the battlefield they were dramatized by the soul to the music we bad y'all just wake up brother Musa daroo shabazz's
The difference in today and back then was your talent meant everything, today all you need is a bunch of tattoos a blunt, sagging' pants and broken english and some derogatory rhymes and you're a musician even though you never picked up an instrument in your life. I know its by design stardom is a trap.
If you were a band your stuff had to be on point back then. And Con Funk Shun was definitely on point they can sing they can dance. They can play instruments and do it all on point young folks nowadays. They know nothing about this!!!
I remember lunchtime at Pasadena High School in the quad area the DJ would promote the dances at the Civic Center and the quad would be packed when this jam came on..... 1980’s great era for funk bands !!!
Funk France is Disco-Funk internet radio station found on iTunes. I listen to it during my morning shower. They play good ol skoo stuff, like this song.
They are what I call REAL men! Both with the manly look and BODY coupled with the sex appeal... then to imagine them singing the lyrics of this song to you.... Honey Please!
And that's what is missing with singers today. Love their smiles especially Felton and Michael. I could see why there was a love triangle with another woman lol.
Melody Sanger So sad that person needs to be executed unmercifully by every limit of the law R.I.P. Thank God for the second amendment that Dems want to take away Don't let it happen 🇱🇷
Wow, just stumbled across this - amazing! I remember Con Funk Shun from back in the day but have never been able to find anything on them - it was almost as though they only existed in my head. Love it!
Doesn't take away from the fact that they really could play and sing. They were an honest to god BAND who actually played real instruments. Like so many others from that era. Don't get it twisted.

We might be related….

Absolutely the best 🎼🎼🎤🎤
@@evieivie Agree
I HAD white friends in the early 80s and we listen to all kind of music. I miss them we all had move and lost contact

You said it all!!
OMG THIS SONG is STILL JAMMING. !!!
What the funk is going on
CONFUNK SHUN ALL DAY AND EVERY DAY WHY DONT YOU THINK ABOUT IT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌷🌷🌷❤❤❤❤❤❤
Deep bass beat, tight pants to match the choreo, all those fine men...I am SO appreciative of Con Funk Shun videos....Long Live Funk !
You ain't joking sis. Them brothers were.FINE!!!
the JAM back in the day, today and in the future!
CON FUNK SHUN, a group that set it off with a mixture of r & b, jazz, soul and dance all wrapped up in the FUNK.
I love this group! They are vintage now but their sound is still great! I’m still listening and just love them so much!! Voices, outfits, it all works for them!!
Sad to say these days are gone real bands real music real lyrics I could go on for hours about this type of music but the good thing is we can relive those memories by seeing and hearing things like this there will never ever be music like this again all the work ethnics have changed it's just about the money have a good day
Might be a different lane, but do check out Volf, Fearless Flyers, and Mark Lettieri. Some folks are keeping funk alive during these whack times.
One of the best that ever did it. I'll always love Con Funk Shun thanks for your contribution to funk music.
Christopher hi 👋 Lakeside and Confunkshun were 2 of the 🔥 band in that era December 3,2022

REMEMBERING CO-FOUNDER/DRUMMER LOUIS A. MCCALL, JR.
(DECEMBER 28, 1951 - JUNE 25, 1997)
20 years almost so sad the criminal who did this should suffer and die i hope im not harsh
DAIL MCDAVID You're not harsh enough!
Melody Sanger So sad that person needs to be executed unmercifully by every limit of the law R.I.P. Thank God for the second amendment that Dems want to take away Don't let it happen 🇱🇷
@@dailmcdavid5883 please elaborate are u saying he was murdered?
That is Hilarious!
So to add to that... I wish I was Michael Cooper's Jumpsuit and Guitar!!! LOL
This was my song. A forgotten treasure
Real singers, real talent, real musicians and real music.
I wish I could have been alive during this time. I didn't make my entrance until 1981. 😊
Wow, just stumbled across this - amazing! I remember Con Funk Shun from back in the day but have never been able to find anything on them - it was almost as though they only existed in my head. Love it!
Those codpieces were awesome 😁
The Most Syndicated Show in the 70s ❤❤❤

Doesn't take away from the fact that they really could play and sing. They were an honest to god BAND who actually played real instruments. Like so many others from that era. Don't get it twisted.
