    Coolio had a big hit sampling this for his Fantastic Voyage song. RIP Coolio.
    From Wikipedia with no explanation, "The band dressed in a range of costumes on their album covers, including pirates, 1920s police officers, cowboys, Arabian knights, and even Robin Hood."
    One of the guys who joined after this album is the father of Ty Dolla Sign. I've heard of him for some reason.

    Wore this song out on my cassette player in my car back in the day. Best part of the song was cut off at the end: “If you're ready to party and you wanna get down
    Bring your ma, your pa, and brother James Brown
    Bring Auntie Em and Toto too
    And all the party people to do their do
    We'll dance and party till the early light
    And say, 'Hey, we're feelin' alright'
    So come along, come on take a ride
    There's a party over there, that ain't no lie
    We're leavin' here in a cloud of smoke
    And th-th-that-th-th-that-th-th-that's all folks”

    Just a great reaction. This is still a playlist song for every Funky occasion since the 80's. Other Funky songs you both would enjoy would be "Funkin' For Jamaica" by Tom Browne (The video is a must), "You're The One For Me" by D Train, "Party Train" by The Gap Band, "Tell Me Something Good" by Rufus feat. Chaka Khan and "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On" by Cherrelle. "Dance With Me" and "Do Ya Wanna Get Funky with Me" both by Peter Brown. Many have been suggested various times before and some again in the comments. Don't forget about Cameo because its been awhile. "Back And Forth" by Cameo you would enjoy next. Its been awhile for K.C. & The Sunshine Band also. "That's The Way(I Like It)" and "Get Down Tonight" are still waiting for you. There are many other funky grooves you would like but too many to list. Thanks again for the Fun & Funky reaction.👍Oh I forgot these musts in my list "Hollywood Swinging'" by Kool & The Gang and "Must Be The Music" by Secret Weapon.

    Yes! Lakeside is one of my all-time favorites. But you got the short version. They repeated the opening rap, then added another verse. "Raid," "Turn the Music Up," "Something About You," and "Relationship" are other good ones. They have some great ballads also, including a slow-jam version of The Beatles song "I Want to Hold Your Hand."

    You two are so adorable together but you have to get a hold of some Con Funk Shun, that was the group. You scratch the surface with "Loves Train", then listen to "Straight from the Heart", "Chase Me", "All Up To You" , "Got To Be Enough" you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't get with the groove. Especially if you like true R&B and Funk.

    If you cover Funk, you MUST do a reaction to Lipps Inc "Funky Town". Iconic Funk classic!

    Preeminent funk/soul band Lakeside released their first album in the late seventies 1978). Their first single, “It’s All The Way Live” planted their flag firmly in the Land of Funk.
    This was an incredible fertile period in Black musical creation, because there was soooo much competition. At the time, practically every R&B based band was developing their own funk formula. We witnessed the emergence of such bands as:
    Cameo; The BarKays; Earth, Wind & Fire; Brick; The Commodores;
    Slave; Con Funk Shun; etc., etc. ALL of them developing their own funk formulas-which would challenge the gold-standard crown held by Parliament/Funkadelic.
    Lakeside was somewhat unique, because they had four (4!) lead vocalists; giving them remarkable versatility. Additionally, their visual presentation was very much “concept driven”. They would dress as pirates, (seen here), cowboys, and…federal agents, (you should check out their jam “Raid”). Their catalogue is well worth exploring!!
    p.s. The principal lead vocalist here is Mark Woods. He has a low-end gospel growl that comes straight out of the Black church; very similar to The Temptations vocalist Dennis Edwards.

    I was listening to some old school jams and I thought you might like these as well. "Do It ('Til You're Satisfied)" and "Express" by B.T. Express. "Firecracker" by Mass Production, "Don't Look Any Further" By Dennis Edwards Ft. Siedah Garrett and "Walking Into Sunshine" by Central Line. For More Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan "Do You Love What You Feel", "Hollywood" and "Sweet Thing". More Chaka Khan "What Cha' Gonna Do for Me". There is also a great jam by Marvin Gaye "Got To Give It Up' the full Pt. 1&2 version is Long but worth it. You can listen to just Pt. 1 which was the version played on the radio back in 1977. Just some more for you.

    Prince does a cover of this within a medley of songs from a performance at the LA Forum. I highly recommend checking that out. It’s Play That Funky Music/Hollywood Swinging/Fantastic Voyage. It’s super funky and super fun.

      Absolutely! I was checking to see if anyone would mention Prince's epic medley. I think I remember reading somewhere it was his third encore after a 3 hr concert. Truly a must-see. Longer than the usual videos people react to, but worth every single second.

    The lead singer's name is Mark Woods Jr but he was voted out of the band because he became gready but they have a great new replacement and you should check them out on UA-cam. They had several number one hits from the 70's through the late 80's. You should check out " It's all the way live" , " Your wish is my command " Say yes" , " Raid" , Rough riders. But there are too many his to mention. Lakeside is a well respected band who changed the landscape of FUNK.

    They were all entertainers and fashion trend setters but back then I watched it as- everyone from every walk of life can groove to the music aboard the fun ship, even pirates will behave and jump into the beat; became a world wide (time-out) dance party song that got everyone on the floor (dance or skate floor).
