His name is Rob Parissi. The song is a true story. They are a rock band that played a gig with an all black audience and they were a little scared. between sets a black dude came up to them and said "why don't you play some funky music white boy!" and the rest as they say is history. true story!
Yes!
really cool story
@@tedlogan4867 Needs a Dragon though..
Thanks for that!
@@65cj55 and ketchup? idk?
Whats weird is how everyone wants to be diversities, but, just as you said, everyone was unique then. Us old folks miss it
"This sounds like something that could be played at the cookout!" Ohhh, it was. And at wedding receptions, proms, and all the other parties you could think of back in the day. I miss those times.
Rob Parissi and Wild Cherry are the best thing to ever come out of mid-Ohio! In 1976 when this came out, we had no idea these guys weren't black until 2 or 3 months after this song came out (I didn't actually catch the Midnight Special on TV when they played). All we knew was it rocked hard, and EVERYONE loved it!😍 Music bridges the generations baby!
🤘🏻🤘🏻
What I love most about this song the lyrics are based off a true story that took place in my hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on the north side in a club called club 2001. It became an instant classic
In the late 60s and early 70s , we had no problem with the color of the skin.
Good for you ❤️😎Ashley!
It is great that you feel the music on an emotional level!
We can’t go back to these times, but we can enjoy your reaction to these songs 🎧! It is priceless! ❤️😎
The music of my generation was outstanding! It cannot be duplicated! I love the fact that the young people are rediscovering these songs! That is the beauty of it!
The rhythm is unmatched! ❤️
The guitarist was Bryan Bassett and
bassist Allen Wentz.
The drummer: Ron Beitle
Session players: Chuck Berginc, Jack Brndiar (trumpets), Joe Eckert and Rick Singer (saxes)
This is a great song! Love it! You can hear the instruments 🎹 throughout this song! It makes you want to get up and move!
Oh yeah...Wild Cherry brought the Funk!!!🔥🔥
And yes, just another song we partied to back in the day. Great times! And when this came out in 76, they had two guitarist. So it was either Rob Parrisi or Bryan Bassett. Really enjoy you enjoying these songs from then! Take care Ashley!
The band's and the music,, back then till story's and never gets old,,,,,
Anytime beautiful,, keep listening 🎧🎶🎧 too that old school music,, check out the group is,, Exile,, the song is called,,, kiss you all over,,,💖🥰💞💞💞🥰💖
Listen Average White Band and the Tower of Power ! Also Kc and the Sunshine Band !
Yessss. Absolutely
@@Mishy555 Factz ! My Parents used to Play them in the House and My Grandparents owned a Record Shop in Long Beach Back then ! It was Great Memories !
@@jerryjordan2482 Oh they owned a record shop…how cool. My parents also used to play their music, and you could hear it all through the house! And I mean ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE. These memories are priceless.😊
All excellent picks. Love AWB's "Cut The Cake".
Yes yes yes ! This is a party favorite any time, any where. Ashley that was some chair dance.I'm impressed, lol God bless !
An audience member screamed out, play that funky music while boy at a concert. The guy goes and takes a 15 minute break and writes play that funky music white boy, comes back and plays it. Nothing like getting bullied!
loved roller skating to this song back in the day
This version is missing an entire verse. There's a live performance of the full version from The Midnight Special that's worth a look.
You get it Ashley! The music back then was so original. Everybody pretty much had their own bag. But Wild Cherry did give me a Commodore vibe. If just the lead singer on this song.
I recommend also inviting Ram Jam to the cookout. And tell them to bring Black Betty along.
😅😂😂😂!!
🎶 Yeah Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam) 🎶
it’s a must!!!
Oh, my Whitney, and shout out to @dadmateryn8092 for telling the story. It happened to me in an enlisted men's club in the Army, and your boy from Tennessee was getting his groove on. My brothers came in with those beautiful flowing fros, and our first haircut cut us all down. Pride does come before the fall, ya''ll. It brings back some good memories. Peace and love one another.
Been dancing to this music for 48 years! ❤
Yes, awesome song, one of my all time favorites. But you really should just kick back and listen to the whole album. One great song after another. Masterpiece album.
Great reaction Ashley! Music (back then) had personality, because the artists had musical and lyrical talent and that was poured into their music and performances. There was an intangible but recognizable quality to music that was was borne from within the artists. Groups had multiple members with talent (vocalists, musicians, or both).
Recent music pales in comparison for this reason - at least imho. Love your reactions!
Yes. Wild Cherry, the Doobie Brothers, Steve Windwood, even the Four Seasons
Hi I am from Africa,Maputo,Mozambique started watching your reactions to music today.i was born in December 1951,an old toppie as we say in my adopted country South Africa,went to study there in 1962,my daughters and grandson where born there.I love music,play guitar since 1970,own 8 guitars.I enjoy and trills me that you love most of the music from my youth and early adult life.
you still have a long way to go for the music of late 50's to now.That was music and the sounds were actually made by the musicians and the instrument we use.Need to listen to the BEATIES,ROLLING STONES,GEORGE BAKER,HOLLIES GEORGIA SATELITESDIRE STRAITS,ERIC CLAPTAN,JERRY LEE LWEISS,LITTLE RICHARDS,OTTIS READING,PERCY SLEDGE JUST TO SAY A FEW,PINKFLOYED,VAN HALEN
Is this a re-upload? Thought I saw this yesterday. Anyway, fun reaction. And the chair-dancing was top notch! I'm more a listener than a dancer, but that doesn't mean I don't get the groove. And I agree with you about today's music versus the older stuff. Back in the day you had to have the chops to play and sing; no software to help you.
Yes it got deleted by mistake ! Sorry !
Exactly...back then, everyone wanted to be different than anyone else. Looking for the next new thing. Music was new.
Now I feel everyone just wants to make money. I mean in the past they all wanted to make money too, but there was no money in sounding like someone else. It seems too much like a formula now. It's like there are maybe 6 different types of acts...but with different "images"....
I cherish the differences...heh heh...
when my ears heard this joint many moons ago. i thought the commodores...never mind...
I grew up in the best time for music late 60s 70s and 80s
💯
YUP
An underrated singer and band. That song is top 10 of all-time cool! It puts the "F" in Funk!
That guy is ELVIN BISHOP. He also is the guitarist on a solo record with Mickey Thomas singing called "FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE". Elvin is a popular blues rock guitarist from the late 60s and 70s.
You must have the wrong video. That's not Elvin Bishop.
One fine woman!!
PISCES Here! I'm a 62 year old SWM, Never Married, so I can Relate to being "Emotional"! Hell, I Tear-Up watching Friends, Star Trek & Oprah! THIS Song.... when I heard it on the Radio I could Swear they were from the "HOOD"!
We had the music before auto tune and everyone did their own thing yep we was blessed growing up with artists that had so much more freedom to do their own thing
Wild Cherry was formed in 1970. They have a very funky sound. Most people are shocked to see that this is a white band. The band's name "Wild Cherry" was taken from a box of cough drops.
I was16 when this song came out. Music back then was so good. I loved this then and I love it still. Love seeing young people reacting to these songs and liking them. Love your reaction!♥
Ashley, this is one of my favorite songs of the century. Its so up! makes me dance all over, and I'm a 74 yr old woman.
"They can come to the cookout". LoL
The "blue-eyed soul was evathing. I'm here bingeing on your funky and soulful reactions. You are too cute!😄 You MUST react to some Beegees.
This is a real tear jerker. When this first came out many people cried themselves to death. The band was then arrested for murder. Is this true? Of course not. Am I just being an @sshole? Yes.
Funk is the best music to dance to, period. I have to admit, I never saw any footage of the band until now and indeed always thought the band members were black and I've danced to this song for 40 years.
You are delightful, made my day ❤️
From my hometown of Steubenville, Ohio. The home of Dean Martin.
Right on!
Ash, gettin’ funky….I love it!
LUV this Song!!!
Great dancing!
Oh my goodness 1982 we would go across the bridge to New Jersey where the drinking age was 18 and dance to this music...oh my gosh!!!
First time on your channel. LOVED your reaction. ❤️
I remember them well, Grew up on this music and this song is a banger
You NOW, need to do the LIVE Video, from the "Midnight Special" TV Show!!! You'll see the "Brass Brothers" actually saying, "PLAY that Funky Music" to the singer and then, the Trumpeter SPINS his Horn during the last parts! Now THAT'S Funky!!!
❤ May I have this dance❤ Class of 71 ❤ 🎉🎉🎉 2024
Everyone danced,there was no jealousy😊 example:if my girlfriend got tired,her friends would dance with me.😊
Loving how you love this song, without reservation! I was a kid when it first came out. If it's good, that's all there is, enough said! Bravo Ashley! 👍
The ULTIMATE compliment! They can come to the cookout!!!
Once those elbows started rising to the beat, knew you were sold! ;)
It definitely was played at the cookouts
That's some good shit Sis! Peace, Love!!
🔥🔥Classic Jam!🔥🔥
You might enjoy Prince's cover of this song. In fact, I'm pretty sure you will.
You need to ask your parents/grandparents if they know this song. In the 70's I was all about classic rock music but I did like funk and motown a lot too.
One of my first 8 tracks damn
I had so much fun dancing back then.....really miss those days
It's stays on my playlist. Come over for the barbecue and stay for the music.
New subscriber, great reactions! If you want an upbeat song that will get your heart pounding, I recommend Ram Jam ~ Black Betty. It’s a short song but I think you’ll like it! Glad I found your channel. 👍👍👍👍👍
One of the best tunes of the '80s. 😎
STOP YOUR LYING LOL THIS was in1976 look it up 80s kids love to song nap songs ALL in fune but true especiaily from 78 79 But FUNKY MUSIC WAS 4 be for the 80s where in Diapers.
Check out Grand Funk Railroad “Inside Looking Out”. It’s from way back in 1969 & I guarantee you WILL NOT be disappointed. If you want some groovy, funky music this is it.
Hello Ashley I 've listened to all the old school music you've played. Try listening to Karyn White's song Superwoman
I love your authentic reactions.
If you haven't heard it, I would love to see your reaction to Peter Gabriel "sledgehammer "....it has an amazing groove to it
It was a one hit wonder by rob parrisi
He lives in fla in a mansion
Ashley this joint was play at cookouts, parties and was in heavy rotation on blk radio
Getting down and getting funky.
still funky years later!!!
They would love to come to your cookout.. and so would I.
GET IT!
fvkin vibed with tttheyir so much. unbelievable energy. Was also wondering have you theyard of October Ends? they's new song is fire! You should react to it
And from Scotland! Huh...:)
Great reaction ❤
Excellent reaction!!! You're too funny with the clicking pens .
It always cracks me up when black folks freak out when they find out that these guys are a white band. One black reactor after hearing this song & then watching the video said “There ain’t no way these guys are white!” LOL🤣
No disrespect but all white folks don't have rhythm and blues with feeling that moves us so when it does it's kinda surprising. At least for me🤷🏾♂️
Classic!!!!
You are so delightful
There it is… Stank Face!! Love it ❤
This is a SAY WHAT song
great reaction
Steubenville Ohio Boyz...
Ashley, when this song first came out, I thought for sure this was a "black band", as they had a similar sound to them like "The Ohio Players", ... and then when I finally happened to see a video of the band, playing the song, I was at a total loss for words that their band was composed of all white guys, including the main vocalist. Great song indeed !
czcams.com/video/BHcYFxU4fMo/video.html
... don't forget to check out "Play That Funky Music Asian Girl' ...
Checkout George Thorogood - Bad to the bone at the Capital Theatre (The live version!).
He sounds a little bit like the old Schoolhouse Rock cartoon for a Bill On Capitol Hill.
This song came out when I was in 6th Grade (1976) and I'm 61 now...all this time I thought it was a black band. LOL
I’m a white boy and I love it!!!!!!!
I want to go to the cookout I’m hungry🥳
Wild Cherry from Ohio, you need to see the video....... Big surprise
This one is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Its been awhile since I heard that song but always a good listen. I'd like to suggest a song for a reaction, it's Slave Slide from 1977. You won't be disappointed. Thanks😊
FUNKAFIED
Artists naturally want to express something new and beautiful. However, corporate interest is to find something successful and keep working it till it is exhausted. So in the 70s we saw more of an artist-driven music industry, and the modern one is very corporate-driven. There's still creativity, it's just not as widely carried and supported as before.
Nick Thurl Mavromatis has done it again! His new song is a masterpiece. React to it now!
We need to get back to great music like this, nothing like the music from the 60's and 70's. We didn't have any problems with skin color back then. We just had fun, of course we didn't let MSM tell us how we hated each other.
Unfortunately a One Hit Wonder.
The reason being that this isn't the kind of music they usually played. But it's the one that made coin.
It was the beginning of the Disco era and the people at the bar asked if they were going to play that funky (disco) music.
They were rockers but they recorded it anyway.
1978
They must all be old men now.. I remember them from the '70s.
🧡
True story.
After this hugely successful start, their follow-up single to this was:
"Baby Don't You Know (that the honkies got soul)".
It seems that their newly-found black audience didn't take kindly to being pandered to by this new white band; that had been allowed to come to the barbecue.
They never got invited back.
