Lauryn Hill

Doo Wop (That Thing)

Perhaps not funk but definitely funky. Let’s start the week with an open mind.

I used to have a megacrush on Miss Hill until we met at a party at Wyclef’s house. After a box of wine and way too many Black and Mild’s, she offered herself to me in totality, for ever and ever. Alas, our love could never be.

O my god, young Aretha Franklin you are such a fox. Let’s each get in our own time machine and meet in the early 70’s…and do it.

An incredible submission from our good friends at The Wizards Ridge.

Heatwave lights the fuckin funk universe ablaze with the white hot intensity of a comets tail with this 1976 performance of Too Hot To Handle.
