Coming Soon is "I love me some Patrice Rushen day" celebrating this funkmaster and the incredible bassist she has on her albums. But today I am highlighting the great bassist Freddie Washington on "Get Off (You fascinate me)". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTrFHdAdKyI

I'm going to end for now with my tirade about the lack of funk bands in the Rock Hall of Fame. I could mention several more including Gap Band, Dazz Band, Zapp Band, Heatwave, Midnight Starr on and on. But I also want to mention a number of Black artists incredibly not in the RockHall like Dionne Warwick, Fifth Dimension, Natalie Cole, Teddy Pendergrast, Delfonics, Dramatics, Chi-Lites, Spinners, Stylistics, Pointer Sisters, Anita Baker, Luther, TLC, BabyFace on and on.. Time will tell

It might surprise some people that I vote for this band to be in the RockHall. The first point, Herbie's career has spanned not just jazz (i.e. Miles Davis's second great quintet) but funk, pop, and soul. Herbie Hancock should have been in years ago, Second: these two albums have some of the most fantastic funk EVER created. Third Paul Jackson's bass playing was innovative and broke the mold for bass playing. Finally, I broke the eight-track of this album twice because I played it so much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffzjh7nl3Lg

Call it jazz, call it jazz funk, call it soul jazz these are my cats. They will always be on my list for RockHall: The BlackByrds. Joe Hall is the bass player https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILrvgPkFuXI

As great of as any "live" funk act on the planet. The Bar-Kays' James Alexander is the bassist (even in the original band that died in the crash). For me, one of the more disrespectful omissions from the RockHall with Ohio Players, War, Kool and the Gang and The Meteors although all the groups I listed should be in the RockHall. Ain't nothing funkier than this jam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJlAop6SyLI
