Funky Fanfare (Soul Thing) - Keith Mansfield

Keith Mansfield conducting the KPM AllStars live at Islington Assembly Hall 7th July 2012.
This song was used by Quentin Tarantino in Kill Bill and is featured in the TV show Pit Boss.
DangerDoom sampled it for the track Old School which features Talib Kweli.

I'm only 16 years old, but i got goosbumps. This song is absolutely wonderful. Good music 100% appreciated, thank you Mr. Keith Mansfield for the ear pleasure.

And now you are 25 - IF you are still alive

[@JFBridge]

Superb tune and superb arrangement............Keith Mansfield's still got it!

[@EddieFonzarelli]

Fun fact. This tune, perhaps popularly known as the opening to Kill Bill, was used at the beginning of many Shaw Bros. Kung-Fu movies. The "Our feature presentation" opening to Kill Bill is an Homage from Quentin to the old days of Shaw Bros. movies.
At least that what a bird told me...

[@jeffmissinne3866]

What the bird told you is for the birds all right. The KPM "Funky Fanfare" track was the music used on the "Astro-Daters," a series of what projectionists call "snipes" (Previews of Coming Attractions, Starts Friday, etc.) produced by the National Screen Service Corp. and used by thousands of theatres in the 70's.

It was a great story though lol

[@KingOFuh]

@@jeffmissinne3866 I heard Funky Fanfare first in the snipe in a theater around 1970. FF was never used by the Shaw Brothers. That was a Tarantino invention.

Isn’t anybody going to mention that THIS piece was covered by ARZACHEL and titled Queen St. Gang? Check it out…you’ll love that one too!
Never knew about this version here as I thought it was original with Arzachel.
