Funky Friday Pt 2 - Funktacular

Well here's a first, a second FF post (while politely pickled too) - I've spent years scouring for this clip so I'm grabbing it while it's up.

No rabbit, jabber or blab from me could do it justice - just tuck in to this explosive performance from Sammy Davis and two friends - it's impossible to watch just once

For Once In My Life...

This is such a fantastic clip. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I love it. Sammy is so groovy here. He is one of the coolest cats ever. I will definitely be watching this again and again.

It's cracking isn't that clobber, those moves, that thunder-along bass line and horn riffery - magic.

It made me feel exhausted watching those girls dance. Yet they seemed hardly out of breath. Middle age has clearly caught up with me if I can get tired sitting down!

Apparently one of them's his wife - and he was about 44 when he made this .

sammy looks like he just busted out of a choclate prison with them brown stripes and man them ladies sure was a movin'.... kinda made the devil tingle in a dark place if you know what i mean.... one of themwas his wifey huh? lucky man while he was alive. I wonder if Frank approved of the hippy clothes though...???

love it PM! Great version, great clothes, great everythin!

'Ol Frank had a pretty good go at coving that track too, but his idea of dressin down for the kids was taking the bow-tie off and puttin on a jumper!

It's walloping track isn't it? Does any know if there's an audio of it available - buzzing to get a copy.
