My basis of listening to good music is if you are nurtured by black music, soul and funk from a very young age. I have two older brothers and one of them led me to this good music. My brother recorded this LP and so much more funk for me on cassette tapes (BASF, Maxell and TDK)

 

I was born in 1969, listened to this kind of funk when I was 11, we love bass slapping
