Just as Kool & The Gang did with Summer Madness, Con Funk Shun a band who made their name in the 70s to late 80s as a Funk band surprised many with this really classy instrumental piece of music, the more you listen the more it grows on you, with an accompany video to match, giving one a taste of the beauty of India
A Brother by the name of Ray Anthony Parham out of Atlanta GA. turned me on to this Album. I sat and listened to it all the way thru. "Indian Summer Love" was and still is my favorite. This was back at Ft. Hood, TX (522 MI Batalion.) 1977, Thanks Brother Parham aka P-Funk!😊
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST IDEOS OF ALLTIME .IT SHOWS LOVE AT ITS FROM HEAVEN ABOVE.THE PEOPLE THERE REALLY LOVE EACH OTHER AND HAVE FUN .VERY SPIRITALLY.WHY CANT WE LOVE EACH OTHER IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. THOMA SJ. SENTER JR.
I am so amazed and appreciative of every song and musical selection that I am exposed to by this band. I have so much adoration and respect for this wonderful band. RiP for the members who are no longer here!
💫✨Love ❤ Love ❤️ Love ❤️ this “happenin’ video” bcuz that’s the type of song 🎧 🎶 this is - as prep for the beautiful 💐 nuptials 💐 wind down ⏲️ to completion and the main event is imminent and happily 💍 takes place - - GORGEOUS COUPLE ; thank you very much for the upload!😊💫✨
Con Funk Shun is another band that incorporated jazz with funk. The others being Kool & The Gang, The Blackbyrds, Brick and the Bros. Johnson. There are actually more, but not enough room to list them here.
+carl flem Too many to name my friend. I love music... all types of music. This is a great song from a great time for music; the middle to late 1970's when people still had to learn to master their instruments and voices before they could expect sustained success at a professional level.This song elicits an emotional response nearly 40 years after I first heard it... THAT makes it one of my favorites.
FAMUCHOLLY I totally agree and back in the seventies you had to know how to play an instrument because music was not digitized ... this is all pure "analog music" !
Using a mid 70’s song with this video was and is BRILLIANT!! Everything about it from the music mixed in with the cinematography is AWESOME!!! I know this is six years later, but my hats off to you and kudos to you..👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿..for a job masterfully done.
I'm glad you liked it. There have been a few comments about whether he video fits or not.and whether Con Funk Shun had meant Native American Indians. I can't say. But I merely wanted to show that the music could be used to compliment a setting with an Indian setting albeit from the sub-continent rather North America. Perhaps I'll try matching the music to a video of North American Indians and see how that works out.
I love this it's by far the most beautiful piece of instrumental music to meditate to and just listen to period but I feel that Con Funk Shun werd actually referring to the Native American Indians and not the East Indians from India can I get a witness ?
That is perfectly possible and there are references to Native Americans considering long and late summers important, in particular for hunting. But I think it unlikely that Con Funk Shun thought in terms of either Native Americans or East Indians. I think there are two things to consider from the title. Indian Summer, and Love. It may be that some member of the band was inspired by a love that had come at the end of an unusually long summer or for whom love had come later than expected. William Dean Howells' 1886 novel "Indian Summer" uses the term to mean a time when one may recover some of the happiness of youth. The main character, jilted as a young man, leads a solitary life until he rediscovers romance in early middle age.
💫✨The album, Secrets (a nice song itself w/ a distinctive bass 🎸 line) has this beautiful Indian Summer Love, released in 1977 ; at 13yrs of age, I was the most with my own record player that could sit on my bed with scratchy treble 🎼 but hollow bcuz it didn’t even have any thump to it since it had no bass! Even so, Con Funk Shun was throwing’ it down and stood the test of time! (More Than Love & Your Night) If you guys haven’t heard these yet and you’re looking for something smooth groove, just look it up on UA-cam and Enjoy!🫠💫✨
@@alexp-d3t No Alex, It is not. But I have no doubt that you could paint a far better picture of an acceptable portrayal of Native American Indians than I could. By all means go ahead.
@@DesperadoJux In actual fact the title is not in any way a reference to ethnicity. It refers to a summer that is longer than usual. one in which the joys of summer can be enjoyed for longer or the unseasonably warm, dry and calm weather, usually following a period of colder weather or frost in the late Autumn (or in the Southern hemisphere, where the term is less common, the late Spring. With regard to an Indian Summer Love, this would be a love that continued to flourish despite expectations of it coming to an end, perhaps despite some incident that would under other circumstances have brought about its end.
I'm glad you liked the music. I'm sorry that you hated the video. However, I fail to see why "that culture" should be barred from having anything to do with this piece of music. Perhaps you have visions of some other culture being better suited to appear in a video alongside this music? But you may wish to take time to consider what is meant by the term Indian Summer. It is widely accepted to denote something that continues for a longer or extended period than is usual. It can also be used to refer to a career (sport for example) that looked to be on the wane before enjoying a return to form. A love that enjoys or experiences an Indian Summer could be seen as one where the couple rekindle feelings that appeared to have already seen their best days. I don't imagine that Con Funk Shun envisaged any specific culture owning the rights to an Indian Summer love.
This reminds of my of childhood had the 45, we played it the death, I love the mix.
Soft and warm, a quiet storm.
back when groups were bands as well and loved to play.
The funny thing is that my father is co-founder and drummer of the band and I discovered this record about 7 years ago and it is by far my favorite.
blessedbeauty12 You are an early fan... An original. ;-)
killer album produced by Skip Scarborough. A teenage Sheila E did all the percussion. I bought it on release day. great memories
Louis A. McCaII II
What!!!? This one and too many other CFS jams were sadly slept on.
What
I love this song over all of the others they made
The best song ever by Confunkshun! Nice traveling music!
Felecia Sharpe a really good song,but not the best ever.( loves train )
Wow, bold statement! Shake and Dance, I'm Leaving, Got to be Enough, Ffun, . Just to name a few!!
Agree!!❤
Sweet memories. I am still confunkshonized after all these years.
I don’t really play FFUN.. I listen to this song the most!
I had this song since1977 on a 45rpm. I have it CD too.

I'll add Chic doing Sao Paulo and Brick doing Southern Sunset and Brick City.
@@HarryBalsak ...I absolutely agree with you brother!!!!
2024 AND STILL FELLIN IT!!!❤❤
This is my favorite by Confunkshun..
Yes! I am stuck in the 70’s ERA….LOL
A Skip Scarborough CLASSIC! Rest in Power Brother Skip & Brother Louis McCall I.

Simply Beautiful
Loved this song in the late 70s. so beautiful, classy. R&B reached its peak in around 1978, fizzled out after that. Dose were da days.
Beautiful sound! It puts me in a mellow mood! Beautifully done!
Yes it does
Always my favourite Confunkshun tune from the moment I heard the very first note. Best regards
The B-roll is definitely on point!👍🏽
I love Confunkshun!.I got their CD
Wow!! I remember this song!! Nice!! Confunkshun had some nice instrumentals-just as The Brothers Johnson did back in the day.
Beautiful song for a beautiful occasion.
Con Funk Shun is another band that incorporated jazz with funk. The others being Kool & The Gang, The Blackbyrds, Brick and the Bros. Johnson. There are actually more, but not enough room to list them here.

one of the jazziest easy listening songs of the seventies.
This song is what made me start checking the b-side of every record because usually the b-side song of a record didn't sound good
one of the first albums i picked up @ the px in germany in 1977. still got and in nice shape. never gona let my albums go!!!!
What a wonderful video. I really love the theme as well as the tune. Con funk shun definitely one of the greatest groups of all time.

Indian Summer Love - Con Funk Shun

Y'all Kno this cut is old school right??? Really good seen though
WATCH Con Funk Shun’s true story on UA-cam at “UNSUNG Con Funk Shun.”
Does anyone know what year this album came out??
💫✨The album, Secrets (a nice song itself w/ a distinctive bass 🎸 line) has this beautiful Indian Summer Love, released in 1977 ; at 13yrs of age, I was the most with my own record player that could sit on my bed with scratchy treble 🎼 but hollow bcuz it didn’t even have any thump to it since it had no bass!

[1:11] Turn up.
I think they were thinking in the terms of Native American
You think? And when you close your eyes and listen to this piece, you envision open plains, roaming buffalo and Native Americans do you?
@@michael1608 Is that all you envision about Indians?
@@alexp-d3t No Alex, It is not. But I have no doubt that you could paint a far better picture of an acceptable portrayal of Native American Indians than I could. By all means go ahead.
I don't think they meant that kind of Indian.
They probably did not.
@@michael1608 Right. They more than likely and definitely probably meant the other kind.

Great song love it. Hate video above. This song has nothing to do with that culture.

Great song ..but sorry pal......it has nothing to do with India
I'm glad you like the song. And, no need to apologise. I appreciate that for many people the concept of juxtaposition is a difficult one to grasp.
