Been done (1975 Freelancers, 1975-6 Precisionnaires, and more recently 1998 MBI). Of course, for those of us dinos that don't mind repeats...

And 1975 Blue Devils.

And 1975 Blue Devils.

" Hey ? do it now ? yeah, hey.

yeah, once I was a boogie singer, playin' in a rock roll band.

I never had no problem, yeah, burnin' down the one night stands

and everything 'round me, yeah, got to feelin' so low

So I decided to quickly... yes I did... to disco down and check out the show.

yeah, they were dancin'.. and singin'.. and movin' to the groovin'

and just when it hit me, somebody turned around and shouted.....

play that funky music white boy

play that funky music right

play that funky music white boy

lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die

( hey, hey ) till you die ? yeah, yeah !! "

(Band.. Wild Cherry, 1976)

It was Joey Pero who auditioned for TOP.

At one of the Plymoouth (MA) concerts several years back, I learned that a lead trumpeter from St. Joe's played with TOP and still has great chops.

As much as I love me some funk, I have to agree... it would never work... not these days at least. It's a real shame too, with electronics now legal it could possibly be really cool. These days it's all about "concept shows" and themes. It's no longer about the music alone. Too bad too... The Commodores, ToP, George Clinton... the possibilities are endless.
