Back when musicians had talent. You can also tell how much fun they were having too. It wasn't just to show off or be cool like today. No wonder we all miss these days so much!
The singer Freddy used to live on my block in west Philly on may street I knew his wife wanda and his daughter lady I grew up with her that was my first crush in the late 80s yes those were the good days in my Young teenage life the year 1982 yes I was 13 then I miss them days I remember they was singing on Lancaster avenue west Philly yes near the deli wow I hope the family remember me the CHIPPER
@@Gildedbutterfly1976 Yes, Larry first and then Freddie. You should check out their first hit 'Centre City' 1976 do the full album version of it complete with intro.
Yes, it is, it happened a lot back then, listen to "Don't Take Away The Music" by Tavares and listen to where much of it seems to come from "Backstabbers" by The O'Jays. "Outstanding" by The Gap Band which came out the same year as this is very similar to this also.
When I was 34+ and spend my Sundays'eve looking for company, that bass line used to pull me out of my armchair or bar stool and without any style shape or form, caught by the groove I started to "dance like I knew ", and that beat any kind of quality chat to come home with someone...Thanks for that beat Fat Larry,I owe you a lot!
Formed by drummer and vocalist "Fat" Larry James (August 2, 1949 - December 5, 1987) The band's biggest hits were "Act Like You Know" (1982) (which later appeared on the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City) and "Zoom", which reached number two in the UK Singles Charts. Be My Lady was taken from the Album Breakin' Out which was released in 1982, the track was also released as a single the same year. James died from a heart attack, at the age of 38, on December 5, 1987 and the band folded. Get Up Funky People - Pay Respect To The Big Fella !!!!!
This was a great live set! No lip-synching or auto-tune, just exceptional musicianship from the vocals to the production. Fat Larry's Band was definitely a force to be reckoned with back in the day!!!

J'ai envie d'enfiler mon costard , mes weston ,mon pento qui glisse , et direction la discotheque le Pacific , ou l'échappatoire ou encore le chalet du lac , pour l'annee je choisi un grand cru 1986 qui vient avec moi , j'ai le poste pionnier et des gamels de 40 dans le coffre de la 205 GTI , a nostalgie quand tu nous tient .
Honestly, I wouldn't have known about this song if it weren't for gta. Sad to know the members are gone: as that's always the case with music from gta.
In GTA Vice City runnin' from police with this song! Great times.
The best times my g
Nostalgia

gta vice city put me on to this song now its forever in my mind
I'm playing thru vice city for the first time and I'm addicted to this song now haha

RIP to Fat Larry and Freddie Campbell (on leads)

I am assuming Fat Larry is the drummer keeping that killer groove!
Yup
Good music indeed!!
The absolute best funkiest BASS STANCE ever - bro has got the moves 😂😂😂
Low strung guitars to deliver this wonderful music.
"Don't fucking mess up this, we have one take. The tape costs a small fortune."
Let me guess. Fat Larry is the drummer?
This was the shilznik in high school and its still the jam. Fat larry's band
Completely forgot about this what a tune

The Best Ever!!!!!!
