although you should watch it when talking about the tepidness... tepidity? of an entire genre. Imagine if they didn't have cameras, how would you know which ones you liked?
Using the same drum fill during the last quarter measure for 6 minutes is your idea of creatively going somewhere?
Not exactly lighting a fire under my ass, which is why I call it tepid.
I've been told that the drums on "T Plays It Cool" is a tape loop with Marvin playing keyboards on top. Personally, I think the repetitiousness is a big part of its impact. One of my all-time faves.
So I guess you're not a fan of any kind of music that is made with machines?

Dude, marvin hooked up an early hip hop loop. Played some cool moog on top...it's fire. I don't need constantly changing fills and beats to keep me interested.

Yeah, that must be it...
Hardly -- On the Corner is one of my favorite albums.
You guys really missed my point: I personally consider Trouble Man boring and tepid. I even took a potshot at myself for liking some lukewarm Pepo Mtoto and you guys still aren't satisfied.
S.O.U.L., Can You Feel It? KOOL & THE GANG, Live At P.J.'s
and if jazz counts... LOU DONALDSON, Hot Dog Eddy Fisher (in general) Charles Earland (in general) Spanky Wilson (just don't get it with lounge singers)
I don't remember if Ed Robinson's "Hey Blackman" is funk or not, but I gotta say I don't understand the appeal of this track.

Nope, meant what I said and I'd say it again! Trust me,the hellfire Detroit black rock of that Black Nasty album a couple pages back is FAR, FAR superior to the Kool, Donaldson and S.O.U.L. albums mentioned above.
(Kool and Donaldson have done better work elsewhere; those albums mentioned were just off-days. As far as S.O.U.L....I like the three 45's I have by those guys rather than that particular album, which I remember being too mellow for the room. Never heard their other elpee.)
the hellfire Detroit black rock of that Black Nasty album
The crack's pretty strong in Chicago, eh?
Ha, ha! If some of y'all on here can stand up for some weaksauce Vegas act like Spanky Wilson, then I'm gonna keep blasting the Nasty till I'm dead and cold!
I swear some folls in this thread are hating just so they can taste what it feels like to hate. Trouble man...pleeeze, there isn't a single tepid bone on that lp.

if those who are not feeling their Archie Whitewater want to get rid of it, please to PM me...

Whooops.... I was thinking about the first S.O.U.L., I've actually never heard the 2nd (always wanted to, based on the strength of the debut...)
HOT DOG is a classic as far as I'm concerned, own the OG LP and CD and have gotten much enjoyment out of both...
Black Nasty is very representative of the sort of rock-funk fusion of the mid-70s that I have no tolerance for.

DONE.

Nah, I think what's going on here is that you have really shitty tase in music.
Why tepid, Rey? This seems like it would be right up your alley.
wooo!!!!
It doesn't make me feel good like--say--the Lovelites record does. I have high standards, you know.
And you clearly love overwraught string arrangements and a drum beat that goes nowhere for -- what is it -- six minutes.
But so do I:
I wouldn't say I

I love David Ruffin and I`ve been lead to believe most Van McCoy is
In my stride-David Ruffin (McCoy prod)
