http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =31vbS1bOrbg One of the most underrated R&B chart toppers in modern history. You'd never know how big that record was living in NYC though. Barely received any real airplay out here. | ||

Man, Timmy, where did the time go? I remember this burning up the dance floor at the Yellow Pages nightclub in Denver Colorado late in '78. Thanks for the memories. | ||

Man, if you taped most of the "Best Of Soul Train" shows, you should check out the episode with Gloria Gaynor and Gino Vanelli. The ST gang are dancing real heavy to "Aqua Boogie" in that particular installment. They're doing the swim dance and everything. It is a clear indication of how big that record was in L.A.. | ||

I wish that I had the capability to upload videos. I have a number of live versions of "Aqua Boogie" that are totally slamming. | ||

Man, I need to get with someone to upload the videos that I have. The way that they played "Aqua Boogie" in 1995 with Gabe Gonzalez behind the kit would fry anyone's brain. | ||

What do you mean by 30? Was the single released 30 yrs ago, did it enter the R&B charts 30 yrs ago? Please elaborate. | ||
Timmy Funk (timmyfunk) 6-Zenith Username: timmyfunk Post Number: 1979 Registered: 5-2007 Posted From: 24.187.171.68 |
It was the number one R&B record thirty years ago this week. How's that PShark? | ||
Pshark (pshark) 6-Zenith Username: pshark Post Number: 1574 Registered: 1-2007 Posted From: 99.191.73.216 |
Thank you. Here's other questions, when did it first hit the charts and what position did it hit when it debut? And how long did it stay on the charts? Sorry for all these questions but when it comes to P-Funk I need to find out every little details. Its 2:18 in your area, are you watch Gone Country right now? | ||
Timmy Funk (timmyfunk) 6-Zenith Username: timmyfunk Post Number: 1981 Registered: 5-2007 Posted From: 24.187.171.68 |
Oh hell no. I refuse to watch that crap. GC is supposed to get his own reality show out of this, so I'll wait for that to come out. And now the stats: "Aqua Boogie" debuted on the Billboard R&B charts on 12/9/78. Chart entry position is unknown at this time. It remained on the R&B charts for 18 weeks. It only reached as high as number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100. It entered the charts while "One Nation Under A Groove" was still positioned high on the R&B charts. | ||

It spent four weeks at number-one on the Billboard R&B chart in 1979. | ||

Timmy Funk, that record was so popular that we heard it and about it before it enter the Billboard Charts. I was in my first quarter as a freshman in college and we partied to it weeks before Thanksgiving! LOL! | ||
Timmy Funk (timmyfunk) 6-Zenith Username: timmyfunk Post Number: 1984 Registered: 5-2007 Posted From: 24.187.171.68 |
So in essence, you're saying that at least in terms of that record, Denver, Colorado out funked NYC. How embarrassing! Here's a question for the rest of you water-head mugs. How many of you had your minds blown when you first bought the "Motor Booty Affair" on CD and found out that they tacked on 50 additional seconds on "Aqua Boogie"? Personally, I wasn't ready for that sheeet! (Message edited by timmyfunk on February 07, 2009) | ||
Pshark (pshark) 6-Zenith Username: pshark Post Number: 1576 Registered: 1-2007 Posted From: 99.191.73.216 |
Who's from Denver? That's 50 seconds more Funk, 50 secs more Bernie. What didn't you like about that Tim? What I felt was unnecessary was the 12" vers of Flash Light. | ||
Marv (marv2) 5-Doyen Username: marv2 Post Number: 363 Registered: 11-2008 Posted From: 69.117.127.85 |
Timmy Funk, in those days there were a lot of us "newly transplants" there from back East and we would go home and bring back the latest in everything. Soooooo......LOL! Yes we partied to "Aqua Boogie (BABY)" way before Christmas 1978~ LOL! | ||

Here's a good example of how BIG "Aqua Boogie" became. It's a part of American "Pop Culture" now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =mWBwX4kdVZE | ||

From the Bay Area in CA Marv. Scrolled up and found your first message where you mentioned Colorado. I heard that Garry Shider owns a restaurant over there. | ||

Oh, that one word makes a big difference Tim. You had me wondering for a second.Thought Sir Nose might have slipped something into your Kool-aid or something (Message edited by Pshark on February 08, 2009) | ||

PShark, did you check out the Raphael Saadiq concert on PBS on Wednesday? The P-Funk Horns sat in and gave up some decent Funk. | ||

Tim check out this Richard Boyce interview. And check out the short Funkadelic clip at 0:25. That looks like the 1970 concert that was featured on the Creem zine.

Here's one right back at 'cha Chi: http://myfunk.ning.com/photo/p hoto/show?id=2467876%3APhoto%3 A53849 This was the infamous gig in which most of their costumes and props went to another venue, instead of going to Madison Square Garden. An intentional attempt to sabotage the Funk. |
