    This is such a badass groove. My wife walks in and says, "It sounds like Flea." I said, "No, Flea sounds like Buddy." Funk forever!

      God bless you! Wish you were there when the funk was the music of choice for Black America(and anybody else who "saw the light" of this music), about 35 to 50 years ago; it's all over now(the movement)but the funk will never die-thanks to people like you, the new and younger generation who will continue to see the light and embrace this wonderful music that came from my generation! 12-8-23.

    Hi to all funk fans!
    No,I've never recorded on an official Slave album.I recorded with them in 1977 through 1979 at the house of music in NJ.Some of the tracks I recorded was used on Aurra's 1rst album. Mark Adams and I along with Slave members are on that album.I'm only on Aurra's 1rst album.I'm also a member of Young & Company and Steve Arrington's Hall Of Fame.I'm also included on a bunch of Slave compulation Cds released by Atlantic Records.Don't stop the Funk!Buddy Hankerson

      Fender was king then-still is in my opinion; now only if they would have the vision to go forward like some of the other bass makers and make a 6-string Jazz and/or Precision-passive pickups, like the original also... 12-8-23.

      This is how it used to be with some of the baddest bass players back in the day, when funk was king, before the music industry destroyed the funk movement, and Buddy Hankerson was definitely one of those bad cats!
      I mean the new cats got chops up the a__ today-but they don't know how to bring it like this cat and so many others did back then!
      The best I can put it is that it was a different "spirit" and music, that motivated and inspired the playing-not like the musicians of today... 12-8-23.

  • @charlesbrazell2136
    @charlesbrazell2136 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My type of bass player-good solid groove playing-came from my favorite Group, Slave(out of whom came Steve Arrington's Hall Of Fame), along with Mark Adams(my favorite bass player along with Louis Johnson). This is how you "bring it" folks... 12-8-23.
