SPEAKER_08 4:17

I'm in love with a marriage. She's my main thing, she makes me feel alright, she makes my heart sing, and we'll feel alone. She comes as no surprise. Turns me on with a love, takes me to bed.

SPEAKER_03 4:46

Do you think you love me? Don't you play?

SPEAKER_14 4:56

Does everybody know about the uh the Rick James biopic? Well, it's not a biopic, it's like a stage. Stage bio. Traveling the country. Tell Rick James a story. Can't wait to see how they do that. So check your local listings.

SPEAKER_08 5:17

Where's the gun job tonight? We want to dedicate the rest of this set to someone that we all love, Mr. Bob Marley.

SPEAKER_14 5:36

Bob Marley pick is out now. Biopick out now, you're we want you all to lift your hands up for me.

SPEAKER_08 5:49

This is with Bob Marley.

SPEAKER_14 6:23

I remember I went to a Rick James show when I was probably about 14. It was the throwing down tour. Remember the throwing down album? Y'all like to have a good time, don't you? And as everybody knows, Rick was famous for the weed.

SPEAKER_08 6:42

Let me look at you.

SPEAKER_14 6:43

And famous for the giant joints on stage. And of course, everyone mostly everyone partook. Yes, sir, some Rick James. Yeah, if you get a chance to uh check out the uh the the bio stage play regarding his life. Check it out. I know that my city is on the list for like later on in the throughout the year, but uh excited. I'm excited about the bottom bio, let's get back into some music.

SPEAKER_11 9:44

This is one of my favorite groups of all time.

SPEAKER_14 9:54

Roger Troutman, Zap.

unknown 9:58

We love you, we love you, we love you.

SPEAKER_05 10:02

Don't you know we love you, yeah!

SPEAKER_14 10:05

Not the originator of the talk box, though, but probably most famous for the talk box. You know, Peter Franklin probably came out with the talk box early on. Stevie Wonder did some talk box stuff. Then Roger Troutman took it to another level.

SPEAKER_13 10:25

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

SPEAKER_14 10:26

Made it funky.

SPEAKER_13 10:27

Everybody, wait one second. Let me tell you one thing.

SPEAKER_07 10:33

You are number one in this building and have a good time.

SPEAKER_04 10:58

Put your hands up at this audio all night, come on, Julian, share me.

SPEAKER_14 11:20

Thank you again, UCB King. Thanks for joining, by the way. And I was so sad about the incident that took Roger Trotman's life back in ninety-nine by his own brother. Unreal man. I had the pleasure of meeting Roger back in was 94. I was overseas living in Japan at the time, and he was doing like a uh military base tour. And he did a couple of concerts at the base where I live.

unknown 12:29

You know what? I don't see you!

SPEAKER_14 12:32

And it was without a doubt off the chain.

unknown 12:42

Why is the body over here?

SPEAKER_14 12:47

I know that after his passing zap without Roger still did some some touring. I've never seen Zap without Roger. It's probably hard to go to a Zap fountain without Roger. He's like the mastermind behind it. Roger Troutman also had a crazy sense of humor. YouTube some of his interviews and stuff, the man's hilarious.

unknown 13:24

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

SPEAKER_07 13:26

This is not where the party's at. You guys are trying to trick me. I know where the party is.

SPEAKER_14 13:50

Do one titty, man. I was 14 when that came out. Seems like I was 14 for everything, man. Anyway, we used to have this back in 82 when this song was out. Popping was the crate. All that. So we had this popping group. We used to pop to this song. We would incorporate all of the kids in our neighborhood, right? To do this popping group. It was hilarious. I miss those days when music was music.

SPEAKER_07 14:46

Can I get crazy up here? I can hear.

unknown 14:53

Can I get crazy?

SPEAKER_14 14:59

Waiting for some more people to come up. Join. Get in the chat. I'm just curious to see how the sound is coming across. I would hate to do see the replay and there's that zero sound. Yeah, come on in, man. Let me know where you're tuning in from. I'm lying. Introduce yourselves, say hello.

SPEAKER_01 15:58

Now all day long you've been acting mighty crazy young man. Sandfield. What I want you to do is make this hard money to go blow it now.

SPEAKER_14 16:13

Roger's letting an naughty member harmonically. Charlie Wilson man.

SPEAKER_03 17:34

Are you ready, Houston?

SPEAKER_14 17:36

The longevity of his career. Started out with the dab band. Now most commonly known as for his solo stuff. Uncle Charlie. Still doing it, man. Charlie's probably in the seventies now. Looks good, sounds good.

SPEAKER_03 18:22

Y'all sing it for me. So I gotta get up. So I gotta get up Get up. So I got the kid.

SPEAKER_14 19:02

Thank you again. Always get for my 127 subscribers at this time.

unknown 19:09

Now I gotta get it, everyone.

SPEAKER_13 19:14

Appreciate you.

SPEAKER_14 19:24

Now my goal for the end of February, which is a couple weeks away. If I could extend that 127 to 200, that would be amazing. Trying to reach as many R ⁇ B front, so print spans as possible. I love this stuff and I know you guys love it too. Always nice to be able to reach back and remember some of the funkiest most soulful music that ever existed. Can't get this stuff anymore, man. You got a few groups out there that are that are funky, a lot of underground groups. There's a couple groups off the top of my head that I can think of came out in the 90s. Trying to keep the funk alive was a group called Slapback. And a group called DAG D A G. Look those guys up, man. You'd be highly impressed. Another slapback work with Larry Graham, George Clinton on some of their stuff.

SPEAKER_07 21:04

Hey ladies, we sing this Larry Graham.

SPEAKER_14 21:12

I'm not Larry Blackman. I'm Emmy. So much energy, man. Charlie Wilson bouncing around the stage. Parliament. George Clinton live in Houston, seventy-eight. This song used to come on at the clubs. All the seats were empty. Everybody ran through the floor.

SPEAKER_12 23:30

Well, got to go.

SPEAKER_14 23:41

This is a funky guitar. How can you not bobby ahead to this? George Clinton. He's still out there doing it too. I don't know if some of you knew, but like he gave up, sold all the rights to his music. Um a few years ago. So, of course, when you sell your rights to your music, you have no more royalties coming in. Which basically means you have no more income coming in. So George is out there doing live shows trying to survive. How's the sound coming through? Curious to know what everything sounds like. First live stream, like as I mentioned before. If anybody wants to jump in the chat, let me know how the sound is coming through. If nothing's coming through, I'm just bobbing my head for no reason. I've never been to a parliament for way before my time. Too young. I didn't start going to concerts until like eighty-two. I was fourteen. You're not gonna believe this one. Probably the first concert I ever went to. My dad took me to see Elvis Presley. I was like nine years old, but remember it vividly. It was the year that Elvis Presley had passed. Man. Just all in your face on this Saturday.

SPEAKER_11 27:21

Alright, let's keep it rolling, man. Thanks for joining me.

SPEAKER_14 27:40
