William's Song a Day Blog - est. September 2007

From: Fly Some Funk Up To The Moon ; Year: 1978; Genre: Funk/Soul For some reason I have been coming back to this record, which is again a case where a short-lived band released apparently a single album. Anyway, I thought I'd choose another track for this Funky Friday ; this song has a great beat and rhythm in a funky soul style.   Hear Fight on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - If You Leave   My song pick 2 years ago today: Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth   My song pick 3 years ago today: Midnight Oil - King of the Mountain My song pick 4 years ago today: The Wootens - Do I Do My song pick 5 years ago today: Berlin - No More Words My song pick 6 years ago today: Yes - Sound Chaser My song pick 7 years ago today: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey Oh) My song pick 8 years ago today: Journey - Look Into the Future My song pick 9 years ago today: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) - T...

From: Fly Some Funk Up to the Moon ; Year: 1978; Genre: Funk/Soul This album was on my mind yesterday and since it's a Funky Friday too I couldn't think of a band better to pick a song from. As the title would suggest, Movin' Groovin' is a funky track that'll be sure to get you to your feet or to at least move in your chair. Hear Movin' Groovin' on YouTube.

From: Fly Some Funk Up to the Moon ; Year: 1978; Genre: Funk/Soul/Disco It's yet another Friday and I'm still keeping my streak of making Funky Friday picks with this being my 28th consecutive. This track has a little more of a dated 70's sound to it, but it's excellent all the same and a great track for a Funky Friday. Hear Fly Some Funk Up to the Moon on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Laura Branigan - Self Control My song pick two years ago today: Yes - Starship Trooper My song pick three years ago today: Buffalo Springfield - Mr. Soul My song pick four years ago today: Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode My song pick five years ago today: J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers - Last Kiss My song pick six years ago today: Queensrÿche - Anybody Listening?

From: Fly Some Funk Up To The Moon ; Year: 1978; Genre: Funk/Soul I'm going for a third Funky Friday pick in a row with this funky and rare track from, as far as I know, the only album The Cosmic Sound Orchestra ever released. As you might surmise from the band's name and that of the album they have a "spacy" sound combined with their funky sound as well as a smattering of disco. Quite an excellent band and song most have never heard before. Hear Listen to the Beat on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Jethro Tull - Overhang My song pick two years ago today: Hawkwind - Uncle Sam's on Mars My song pick three years ago today: Al Di Meola - Suite – Golden Dawn My song pick four years ago today: Béla Fleck & the Flecktones - Sex in a Pan My song pick five years ago today: David Bowie - Space Oddity My song pick six years ago today: The Guess Who - No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature
