- "Play That Funky Music" is a song written by Rob Parissi and recorded by the band Wild Cherry. The single was the first released by the Cleveland-based Sweet City record label in April 1976 and distributed by Epic Records. The performers on the recording included lead singer Parissi, electric guitarist Bryan Bassett, bassist Allen Wentz, and drummer Ron Beitle, with session players Chuck Berginc, Jack Brndiar (trumpets), and Joe Eckert and Rick Singer (saxes) on the horn riff that runs throughout the song's verses. The single hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 18, 1976; it was also No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart. The single was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments of over 2 million records and eventually sold 2.5 million in the United States alone.
"Wild Cherry" were actually a hard rock cover band from Pittsburgh. When disco hit, it hit hard and big and bands like Wild Cherry were losing audiences. Lead singer Parissi explained that when Disco hit, many girls stopped seeing bands like Wild Cherry and went to discos. And where the girls went, the boys went. Parissi appealed to the band that they needed to play more disco stuff, but they were very much against it. Disco was hated by rock music fans and rock music bands were scared to be associated with it.
I have read a couple of variations about how the song came about, but it is known they were playing a few bars one of which was frequented by African Americans who were not great fans of their music. As they were about to play one night, an audience member shouted out (according to most accounts) “Are you going to play some funky music, white boys?” which was heard by drummer Ron Beitle. He later told the rest of the band and Parissi grabbed a drink order pad and started scribbling down some lyrics. The song was top 10 over most of the world with #5 in Australia, #4 in New Zealand, #2 in Canada and #7 in the UK.

The official video is in very poor condition compared to my version ua-cam.com/video/BHcYFxU4fMo/v-deo.html It also runs at a much faster speed than the song does......I was torn as to whether to match it when replacing the audio but in the end decided somewhere in the middle of the two speeds as it sounded too slow after listening to video so often. The music video audio is the single version which is quite short at just over 3 minutes while the album version goes for 5 minutes. This is because the single/video version only has the first and third verses, removing the second from the album version.

I post a range of popular 70's, 80's and 90's videos that are of high quality, both visually and audibly. How can you lose ? It would be also nice to occasionally get something in return, my running costs are high with up to 6 subscriptions required to produce these videos. Software is half of that, source videos and replacement audio add to the cost. I am a disability pensioner, need I say more about money ?

Only 49 likes for this delicious banger from the 70's? I'm shocked
Awesome ❤ July 2024
As usual, another classic. You're on fire! Thank you.
Love this song ever since I was little 🥰
Any chance you could dig up this classic from 2001? - "Gerling: Dust Me Selecta". I've just pulled this out of my head after several years of not being able to remember the band, or name of song....Can not find a decent version of it.
No expectations. Love your work. Thanks.
Hi there good friend. You haven't posted anything in a long time and I hope everything is alright.
Yeah, all good mate, just catching up on a lot of stuff I haven't been doing :)
@@Austech Glad to know everything is ok and I hope you can post a new video soon. Cheers!
TAVARES - HEAVEN MUST BE MISSING ANGEL
i like the original by vanilla ice ^^
How Much Money Dìd The Hairdresser Make??
This music video has single version. Therefore, this music video had to be extended because it has to be in album version in order to listen to the FULL song.
I have already stated this.
@@Austechok
Please fix the bass
Oh of course. Anything else ? Re-film it perhaps ?
Nah, It drops in and out, serious
It happens on some other songs as well, I think kiss the dirt falling down the mountain by INXS, not sure what causes it, but happens ona few tracks
It fades in and out
@@schippy14 They’re lip syncing to the studio recording in this video, right? Couldn’t you have replaced the original audio from this broadcast with a high def audio copy of the song? I did that to a couple of Pet Benatar videos that I tried to revive.
