I remember Frumpy ( from Hamburg) performing live in my home town headlining a festival in 1973. I had met the organiser just the week before who hired me as an Usher. Frumpy opened for some important bands in the US and met great receptivity there on their tours, but then their rcords were not in the stores which is a pity.
The term was popularized by British music journalists, who adopted the term "Krautrock" as a humorous umbrella-label for the diverse German scene, though many so-labelled artists disliked the term. Core influences on these German artists included bands such as the Mothers of Invention, the Velvet Underground, the Beatles and Pink Floyd. A significant influence was the late '60s albums of jazz musician Miles David. Moving away from the patterns of song structure and melody of much rock music in America and Britain, some in the movement were drawn to a more mechanical and electronic sound. Krautrock has proven to be highly influential on a succession of other musical styles and developments. Early contemporary enthusiasts outside Germany included Hawkwind and Julian Cope who has always cited krautrock as an influence, and wrote the book Krautrocksampler on the subject - suggesting, "Krautrock is a subjective British phenomenon", based on the way the music was received in the UK rather than on the actual West German music scene out of which it grew). The genre also had a strong influence on David Bowie’s 1976 album, Station to Station and the experimentation it inspired led to his “Berlin Trilogy”. Krautrock was also highly influential on the late-'70s development of British new wave and post-punk, notably artists such as Siouxsie and the Banshees, Public Image Ltd, Cabaret Voltaire, The Fall, Gary Numan, Joy Division, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and Simple Minds. Kraftwerk in particular had a lot of influence on American electronic dance music of the 1980s: Electro, House, Techno and especially Goa Trance.
Like a library... All great knowledge and lots of it ! Be good to go down the list of mentions to delight of the multiple genres you've mentioned 👍. THANKS, really 😁
@@DerEchteBold Well, it reads like the typical shallow description of Krautrock you'll likely find on Wikipedia or Encyclopædia Britannica. Not one single original thought, just the usual song and dance.
Inga Rumpf had some powerful vocals. Pity the early 1970s German prog-psych rock band with songs like "The Gipsy Was Born," "Duty" and "Morning" wasn't more popular. Perhaps, Inga wasn't talking about her "Humps" like Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas or "Buttons" like the Pussycat Dolls. "Oh well," as Peter Green would say.
Just in case anybody thought this was live, this is unfortunately a lip-synched performance of a studio recording from their debut album. The debut album was recorded before the guitarist joined the band, so you can see Rainer Baumann miming guitar notes that don't exist in the song.
Best Frumpy song ever- my taste- is "How the Gypsy was born". That Hammond sounds brutal when I heard it for the first time. Kicked me right into another dimension.
Stimmt. Hey Uwe, hier ist einer meiner favorisierten songs: ua-cam.com/video/EN4ANI88xFQ/v-deo.html, ich mag besonders diesen "schlendernden, behäbigen" Grund-groove, der im ersten Teil besonders gut vernehmbar ist. Damals konnte ich mit der Orgel im Rock nix anfangen, aber bei Frumpy hat sie mich überhaut nicht gestört. Apropos Orgel, das georgel beim Gitarrensolo nervt mich ein wenig, für meinen Geschmack hätten die Frumpys eine andere Gitarre nehmen sollen, oder einen Effekt, oder beides. Ich frage mal, wäre ein wärmerer Klang und ein etwas integrierteres Solo evtl. noch song-dienlicher? LIEBEn Gruß
Eine der größten Stimmen, die es jemals in Deutschland (und darüber hinaus) gegeben hat. Wie viele berühmte Bands aus dieser Zeit müssten sich hinter Frumpy anstellen.
A great version of a great Richie Havens track from a great album "All will be changed" . Frumpy were an excellent band with a fine vocalist in lnga Rumph . Check out "Frumpy 2" where on the four long tracks the band stretch out and show what a fine band they were .
love this - nearest thing clearly is julie driscoll/bian auger/trinity - but very different (but equally good) singers united by great organ backing.....
In a similar, & i think better, vein is Brian Auget & the Trinity, featuring Julie Driscoll. Brian is B-3 Master, & Julies voice is incredible. They also cover Indian Rope Man, The Flesh Failures ( from Hair ) & Light My Fire. Also Brian Augers Oblivion Expresss ( instrumental trio ).
I remember well that according to the critics of that era a distinctive attribute of Krautrock was the lack of vibe and swing of most German drummers. Their drumming used to be on the leady side.
If you've heard of FRUMPY and Inga Rumpf for the first time here - go to How The Gipsy Was Born (Live 1971). It was one of the greatest songs in the early 70s, and a hit. We almost crawled into the radio back then (behind the Iron Curtain). From minute 4:56 and 7:10 you could freak out...
Yeah, I think calling this "Krautrock" is too limiting and pigeonholing as opposed to simply calling it some excellent Progressive rock. The British and American bands had no exclusive claim on that term, and German bands, as well as those of many other nationalities were very diverse and merely lacked the promotion and distribution enjoyed by the British and American bands.
Yes you make a good point but progressive music was very much a British genre and set the standard for those European and American outfits. When you consider the wide variety of progressive rock from the likes of King Crimson,Genesis, Yes, ELP, through to Third Ear Band, Edgar Broughton and Rare Bird and onto Van Der Graff Generator, Focus and Traffic these bands were the pioneers and IMO produced the finest of the genre.
I dont consider Frumpy progressive rock. Heavy rock with progtendecies when you listen to their full albums. Great cover version my faveis still Jullie Driscoll with Brian Anger.
I agree with (the only comments I read) that the singer had a different sound and looks like some other folks think it is great. Obviously 60's stuff, when I was in my teens. Maybe those liking this are of a similar age as I. Hey it's good to have you all around young and old...
I'd never heard of them before, but that voice......amazing 😍 to be honest I wasn't even sure at first if she was singing in English or German but she's singing Fog dangling thick Can't see the right road Streets are sick, The eight day mill It might grind slow, but it grinds fine Indian rope man, while lookin' on Tells common clay he's heavenly born Retired layman looks on in scorn, With a transplanted heart Kiss him quick, he has to part. Yeah... yeah Indian rope man sees the times, Splitting loose the edge of minds Catching losers in his line, in his line, yeah Kiss him quick, he has to part. Yeah... yeah Indian rope man flexes his eye, Dissolving the fog Revealing the lie Indian rope man holds my trick in his heart, yeah Kiss him quick, he has to part Yeah... yeah Indian rope man sees all strife Cutting down eternal life When his soul transcends his heart, oh Kiss him quick, he has to part. Yeah... yeah

Danke Frumpy, danke Inga! Eure Musik war und ist der Hammer! Das geht noch immer in Herz und Seele!❤
i can't believe I never heard this before tonight! What a cool tune!

Same
Same.
Julie driscoll and the trinity sings it a hundred times better ❤
Not forgetting Brian Auger with his son and daughter :)@@lesleyscott938
Was für eine tolle Band und was für eine grandiose Sängerin mit einer wahnsinnig ausdrucksvollen Stimme. ❤❤❤
Inga Rumpf was the voice in this Time in Germany !!
Not trying to be offensive, but was she trans?
This band had a great sound. And her voice really has it. They sound like they could have done a James Bond theme back then.
that voice...effortless... now on my list of favorites I've ever heard.
Inga was incredible as a natural talent, the band just showcased how good she was with their musical prowess.
SHE WAS GORGEOUS. 💖
And she had a great voice!
Is gorgeous
Where have they been all my life?
Never heard of Frumpy until the YT recommendation, which for once was good un
True, this band is amazing.
Wow, what a great song! The voice is fantastic!

Bluesy & psychedelic. The band is cooking ! Fantastic find, thank you for posting.

If i was a male groupie back in 71... Inga would've fucking destroyed me!
Dreams are good!
I' would have loved being destroyed by Inga ! haha , had a massive crush on here for decades and that voice , oh man.
Never heard of this song or the group - but great song and WOW , what a voice.
ua-cam.com/video/EN4ANI88xFQ/v-deo.html LIEBEn Gruß
They have some more great songs, esp. on their 2nd album, "Frumpy 2".
They were created by AI two years ago.
Excellent - I only knew the Bob Marley version
What an amazing voice❤❤❤
Saw Frumpy many years ago at the Lyceum in London supporting Steamhammer. Loved them 😊
Now Steamhammer were a fantastic band and so wish I had seen them

Perhaps, Inga wasn't talking about her "Humps" like Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas or "Buttons" like the Pussycat Dolls. "Oh well," as Peter Green would say.
I think German bands were always supressed a little back in the day.
This deserves millions of views
Frumpy was Awesome with this lineup.
What a great version and the singing WOW!

I'd never heard of Frumpy before stumbling upon this. I've heard Brian Auger do this song a number of times.
Never heard of this band until today.😮
Very cool 😎 reminds me of Curved Air.
Same here.
Great voice ❤
Inga canta demais e tem uma incrível voz. Maravilhosa música.
Best Frumpy song ever- my taste- is "How the Gypsy was born". That Hammond sounds brutal when I heard it for the first time. Kicked me right into another dimension.
Digging the “Indian rope man” song and music. Cool first time hearing and seeing this. Life is…great❤
“Frumpy” ……I love it.
Fantastisch, Inga Rumpf. Es muß nicht immer "How The Gipsy Was Born" sein. Toll

The voice
👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Surprised this wasn't a hit. Cool song, great singing, and solid hooks.
Bin 66Jahre und habe diese Zeit genossen und heute noch auf Festivals und Konzerten unterwegs.Inga war mein Traum früher.
Bella Inga, the definitive hippy-freak-rocker girl ❤️
Absolutely!
Not a hippy freak. A Rocker, yes.
Amazing voice and the band, to the perfection.

Amazing voice!
Inga's voice is the coolest.

Outstanding! No Joke
I am loving me some Inga!
She sounds like Ozzy
Здорово 👍
Beautiful ! What a Star !!
Génial ça joue fantastique époque
Love this!
Jean Jacques Kravetz was a fantastic organ player
Still is

Yeh there’s quite a few Brian Auger & Julie Driscoll videos elsewhere on this channel
This song is so good to hear it and i don't get bored. To listen to it and to listen to it.....
This was good rock music!
Fantastic! 👍🏻
🌟🎶🔥🎶🌟 Great !! Thank you.
Excelente Frumpy tambie Inga....suba mas videos Sr!!!
1 of germanys roses!
It is always so interesting how the time the music was made can be heard from the style . I am guessing this was early 1970's
I remember well that according to the critics of that era a distinctive attribute of Krautrock was the lack of vibe and swing of most German drummers. Their drumming used to be on the leady side.
Yes that particular drum sound was typified by the German band, Can
Been a big fan of the Driscoll/Auger/Trinity version for ages, but not seen this clip before. Interesting arrangement. Thanks a lot.
50 years late but I finally discovered Inga. Nice!
Wow, I haven't heard frumpy since the 70's or 80's maybe. Great progressive rock and roll. Thank you.
Wow. Überragend. Noch nie gehört.
Очень и очень даже,мои 60-70-е.
First time I've ever heard of them or this song. Its all great.

Yeah, I think calling this "Krautrock" is too limiting and pigeonholing as opposed to simply calling it some excellent Progressive rock.

Id argue the opposite, this is far too poppy for the term krautrock. More like prog pop.
Just call it music
I think labeling this Progressive Rock. is far to limiting and pigeonholing.
I dont consider Frumpy progressive rock. Heavy rock with progtendecies when you listen to their full albums. Great cover version my faveis still Jullie Driscoll with Brian Anger.
Wow - great band and amazing voice - I would guess it's from the early 70th because of the dressing and music style.
Wow! Incredible!
I love this sound
How has this escaped me all these years? WOW.
Fantastic !!!!
Her voice is awesome!
Os anos 70 deixou muita saudade. Isso é muito diferenciado.
What a voice!
What a tune man, get in!.

...adore that hammond !!! and kravetz obviously knows how to handle it..
Beautiful Woman
I'd never heard of them before, but that voice......amazing 😍
to be honest I wasn't even sure at first if she was singing in English or German but she's singing
Fog dangling thick
Can't see the right road
Streets are sick,
The eight day mill
It might grind slow, but it grinds fine
Indian rope man, while lookin' on
Tells common clay he's heavenly born
Retired layman looks on in scorn,
With a transplanted heart
Kiss him quick, he has to part.
Yeah... yeah
Indian rope man sees the times,
Splitting loose the edge of minds
Catching losers in his line, in his line, yeah
Kiss him quick, he has to part.
Yeah... yeah
Indian rope man flexes his eye,
Dissolving the fog
Revealing the lie
Indian rope man holds my trick in his heart, yeah
Kiss him quick, he has to part
Yeah... yeah
Indian rope man sees all strife
Cutting down eternal life
When his soul transcends his heart, oh
Kiss him quick, he has to part.
Yeah... yeah
So beautiful and today she's just as gorgeous
Fantastic
Nothing like Joplin. She has a ballsy rich voice not a screech.
Godamn. Excellent vocals.
Excellent.
You may want to check out their "Singing Songs"...!
btw, singer Inga Rumpf is still performing!
Love it!
Progressive, with an almost Dusty Springfield-like voice! Original..
A wilder Dusty, I'd say.
@@omiluna7362 definitely!

Just great
Awesome!
Damn. this is the first time I've heard of this band... Singer absolutely SLAYS it! JEEZUS!
