Next was Celebrate which was described as penthouse suite disco and also charted, so there. 😛

    I’ve always felt this is maybe the all time greatest “funk” song. Parliament had some classic funk pieces too, but this jam just hits the inter-planetary funksmanship vibe the most for me. 😂

    First time hearing this was at the roller rink in fort myers Florida. Back then we had one AM pop music and one country radio station, we were not exposed to most of the funk music. Moved to Tallahassee in 1980 and discovered WANM am radio and discovered all that I had missed as a teenager! My skating days are all but behind me now I do on occasion take my grandchildren to the rink but the music is not the same.

      They are certainly fantastic here, it's kinda like Chicago in the Terry Kath era, they were leaders in their musical style and cashed in, in the 80s. Not a perfect comparison but songs like "Tonight" and "Fresh" seem like walks in the park compared to this sorta funk.
