Love me some House.
ReplyLet’s boogie!
Now I want to hear Roy say *”Surprise! it’s **_caucasians!_*
ReplySounds like something he’d say if he were invited to the Amber Ruffin show.
Maybe for the inofficial White History Month.
Also I want to see him set a house on fire because they played Cotton Eye Joe.
Am I taking this all to literal? I need help.
My record collection is mostly 60’s and 70’s music. In fact, one of my favorite artists is coincidentally named Roy Wood. He had a band called Move, a band called Wizzard, and was also one of the founding members of The Electric Light Orchestra. I saw him do a show in NYC and I got his autograph! And, for what it’s worth, he is inducted in The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
ReplyD n B babeeeeeeeeee!!
ReplyI appreciate that Roy brings black history month into every month. Im constantly learning something new through his comedy.
ReplyI listen to “Cruising Through the Decades” 100 years of music and I feel that the 100+ year old recordings of Americans of African descent sound best. Can’t even get into the rest of the decades same greatness. I am Mark’s complete lack of surprise by this origin story.
ReplyMartha = Legend!
ReplyOh!! the days of listening to “FARLEY Jackmaster Funk” on WBMX as well as the lunchtime mix sets.
ReplyHow you gonna have a whole video about house music and not mention Detroit SMH
ReplyI for real thought house music was when your parent’s played old school soul/R&B on the weekend as you cleaned the house. TIL.
