We didn’t look through the lense of black and white of today’s culture, we just loved music.
Wild Cherry was a hard rock band. They had a regular gig at the "2001 Club" in North Pittsburgh, and with disco big at the time (1976), their sound didn't go over well. After one show, a black audience member shouted, "Play some funky music, white boy." Rod Pariss, the frontman for the band, decided they should, and wrote down the phrase on a bar order pad. They recorded the song in Cleveland with a disco sound: drum and bass mixed way up front.
I miss when society wasn’t so racially uptight and music like this could be made.
This is same for KC and the Sunshine Band...people didn't realize KC was white ,but the band was a mixture of white and great black musicians...
Why are you youngsters always so shocked when somebody plays live? We used to have a little thing called talent back before auto tune. You’ll see.
Seven months ago I went down a music history rabbit hole of serious proportions! I heard a song and thought "I wonder if that's a cover". It was on! Now, I'm a full on student of music history - how it all ties in, evolves, brings odd people together, etc. It's endlessly fascinating!
Our social culture was soo much different back then. We were much more relaxed about skin colors - wasnt a big deal - we just enjoyed music and had a great time together- red , white , tan , black and whatever. We need that back please .
The Song told the Story. He was playing in a Rock and roll Band. Their Rock Sound wasn't going over well in a Disco Era. Someone in the Audience Shouted Play That Funky Music White Boy. The Lead singer decided to play Funky Music and Wrote the Song Play That Funky Music.
Why is it shocking that bands back in the day played and sang well live? If they used their talent in the studios to put on vinyl ( or wjatever) then they were still the same talent that come on any stage!
The video I have seen most often had three "brothas" twirling trumpets and dancing.
"The ink is black, the page is white, Together we learn to read and write, A child is black, a child is white, The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight" - The Dog Night... Black and White
In the 70s everyone had a fro, everyone loved funky music and singers could actually sing without technological help. It was a better time lol
So many think some White singers are black.
😆 🤣 I grew up boogieing to this!! In the 70's, Top 40 radio was rock, Motown, country rock, funk, Zep, Floyd, Stones, Beatles, The Who...all mixed up, there was no color line, we loved it all. And this was one of the G.O.A.T.'s for sure!! ❤❤❤😊
The music we grew up on sounded the same whether live or recorded. And we didn’t care who was singing as long as it was good!!
The story behind the song is basically a tight ass rock band, laid down a funk/disco classic! It was the 70's.
I've heard this song so many times over the years, and just now realized what a strong "Sly and the Family Stone" vibe it has!!
Those who believed a black man was singing have never listened to the lyrics. 😉
This was one of the biggest disco hits of the 70's.
Maybe time for some Righteous Brothers to keep the trend going. "You've Lost That Loving Feeling will blow "40" away.
