[@crenshawblaster3982]

that halfro looks rockin for sure!

[@erikadavis4696]

Exactly what I thought, too..

[@pussyfunk-stopputtingthepu2652]

a little bit, yep ... that's true !

[@monicabell1264]

Exactamente , in fact , pensé que era MAURICE WHITE

[@eugenemckinney8736]

There's a mistake in your description : There were only 8 members in this group; and Randy Muller was NOT a member from Skyy ... Though the two groups originated from Brooklyn, New-York; Randy Muller was the founder, lead member, keyboardist and flutist from Brass Construction (an other group from N.Y., indeed); he helped his friend Solomon Roberts to build up the group Skyy, but was not part of it. However, Randy Muller did produce some Skyy songs; for the Cayre brothers' label "Salsoul" (now defunct) and for "Alligator Bit Him" productions (also defunct now). Randy Muller eventually founded "The Muller Organization" too, for his own group; Brass Construction.
p.s. : Notice on this video how the new member/keyboardist - Wayne Wilentz - is dressed with the same shirt as the preceding member (Larry Greenberg) was wearing on the "Skyyline" album. As Larry Greenberg no longer sported a moustache on "Skyylight" (the last album where he appeared), you could have thought it was still him here, on this video ... It's tricky, right !?

[@pussyfunk-stopputtingthepu2652]

Love how most of them were dressed (except for the lady doing the replacement) almost like on the front cover's photo from the "Skyyline" album (1981) !

[@johndasilva2686]

Skyy were a class act. Funk music with oompf

[@davewollenberg1518]

Quit usin' the character name. It was Sherman Hemsley.

[@hharriseoh676]

I missed disco and funk music. Rap is a joke!

[@vanessascott1662]

Real talk

[@icegold1125]

Me 2 but I'm recording a few jams🎤🎼🔌🕶

[@rhuttrho88]

@rcandminilover exactly!🤷🏿‍♂️

[@pussyfunk-stopputtingthepu2652]

Disco sucked (hence the movement around 1979, when disco was being dead) but FUNK definitely ROCKED !!!

[@MakeSomeNoisePlaylists]

not really man.....give it try....there are a lot of good rap artists out there
and you can never miss disco and funk. its the backbone of modern pop music....and rap!

[@okAngelface]

Dick Clark's attitude lacks his usual friendly enthusiasm. Unsettling, off-put demeanor is cringe. Not the best depiction of his interview style.

[@pussyfunk-stopputtingthepu2652]

He had to cope with a crazy audience all the time ... But what was one to expect, when there were groups like Kool & The Gang, Sylvers or again Skyy ... ?!

[@Non-Serviam300]

Yeah he was a little bit off.

[@WinterBaby90]

Idk what interview you're watching he seemed okay to me but to each their own
