Back when musicians had talent. You can also tell how much fun they were having too. It wasn't just to show off or be cool like today. No wonder we all miss these days so much!
@@Gildedbutterfly1976 Yes, Larry first and then Freddie. You should check out their first hit 'Centre City' 1976 do the full album version of it complete with intro.
The singer Freddy used to live on my block in west Philly on may street I knew his wife wanda and his daughter lady I grew up with her that was my first crush in the late 80s yes those were the good days in my Young teenage life the year 1982 yes I was 13 then I miss them days I remember they was singing on Lancaster avenue west Philly yes near the deli wow I hope the family remember me the CHIPPER
When I was 34+ and spend my Sundays'eve looking for company, that bass line used to pull me out of my armchair or bar stool and without any style shape or form, caught by the groove I started to "dance like I knew ", and that beat any kind of quality chat to come home with someone...Thanks for that beat Fat Larry,I owe you a lot!
This was a great live set! No lip-synching or auto-tune, just exceptional musicianship from the vocals to the production. Fat Larry's Band was definitely a force to be reckoned with back in the day!!!
Yes, it is, it happened a lot back then, listen to "Don't Take Away The Music" by Tavares and listen to where much of it seems to come from "Backstabbers" by The O'Jays. "Outstanding" by The Gap Band which came out the same year as this is very similar to this also.
Formed by drummer and vocalist "Fat" Larry James (August 2, 1949 - December 5, 1987) The band's biggest hits were "Act Like You Know" (1982) (which later appeared on the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City) and "Zoom", which reached number two in the UK Singles Charts. Be My Lady was taken from the Album Breakin' Out which was released in 1982, the track was also released as a single the same year. James died from a heart attack, at the age of 38, on December 5, 1987 and the band folded. Get Up Funky People - Pay Respect To The Big Fella !!!!!

that guitar and sax was epic
One of the sickest bass lines of all time. Never knew it was played with a pick.
Real singing and talented.
CLASSIC NEVER GETS OLD........ IT WONT AS I STILL PLAY IT OFTEN........ ITS THAT GOOD.

Incontournable! Indémodable! Un héritage made in a Funky! C'est pas de la mauvaise soupe du moment qu'on nous sert :p
Oui j'adore souvenir j'ai 63 ans mais ils ont bien pompé sur The Whatnauts - Help Is On The Way sorti 2 ans avant
Great Song. Extremely Uplifting.
the digitalization from old videos is a blessing, what a song!!
The bass is exactly the same that "Help is on the Way" of whatnauts. Amazing.
Denise hines its alright.
