Digging for a Dancing Legend

For those Soul Train fans like those in the DCD crew, you have to know this guy. Jimmy "Scoo B Doo" Foster was a regular on the first few years of Soul Train, and one of the original members of the "Soul Train Gang". He is one of the inventors of the Pop Lock, and all of hip hop dancing probably originated from this dude. If you run across some old episodes, Scoo B Doo is definitely not hard to find! It's amazing that he still has the moves after 40+ years. We present you 2 videos... Scoo B Doo then (early 70s) and now (about 2012).

Tribute to Jimmy Scoo B Doo Foster

Then - Back in the 60s and 70s


Now - This dude has to be close to 70yrs old!

Digging By The Fence

I love those funk "big bands" where everybody plays an instrument (everything from guitar, piano, organ, flute, bottles, gong). Check out Mandrill with their New York Jazz/Latin/Funk/Soul... They remind of the Neville Brothers a little.

Digging for More Sylver

This is one of those digs that I find and never really want to share with anyone else because I like it so much (I'm selfish, so what!). The Sylvers nailed this song with some stone cold funk, and I'm still trying to figure out why they never released this jam. Tell me if you agree!

Digging for Boo Season

If you want some sultry soul, check out this 1974 track by the late, great Minnie Riperton. What more can you ask for? Guaranteed babymaker! By the way, the one and only Deniece Williams is singing background.
