Richard "Kush" Griffith

Kush leave that horn alone, you outta be ashamed of yourself!

― Nicholas, Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

Tiki Fullwood, that's who I was trying to think of. It's kinda weird that P-Funk's drummers are largely anonymous.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

Except for Dennis Chambers!!!

To round off Bootsy's Rubber Band:

Gary "Mudbone" Cooper!
Frank "Kash" Waddy!
Robert "P-Nut" Johnson!

Did the white trumpet player have a nickname?

"In 1955, the singer Sylvester Keels and the guitarist Nafloyd Scott where part of the group. The band toured Georgia and developed into the Famous Flames, a black music revue in which all members had at least to play two instruments and to act as dancers and singers. In 1956, James Brown took over the direction of the Famous Flames which consisted of Keels and Scott, but also Johnny Terry and Nashpendle Knox (both vocals), Wilbert Smith and Ray Felder (both saxophone), Clarence Mack (bass) and Edison Gore (drums)."

'bout time, lost a few funkateers along the way

― Tommy McTommy (Tom D.), Tuesday, 1 October 2013 07:58 (twelve years ago)

I think that's from 1997.

LOL, I've really got my finger on the pulse

― Tommy McTommy (Tom D.), Tuesday, 1 October 2013 13:30 (twelve years ago)

Haha, it would've been really insane if it took them this long to get inducted. I think they got in on their first ballot/first eligible year, though.

six years pass...

David Lee Chong! (primary creator of "Atomic Dog")
Tyrone Lampkin! (dat snare on "Cosmic Slop")
Larry Fratangelo! (all that percussion on "One Nation Under a Groove," "Not Just Knee Deep," etc.)
Bernard Odum! (JB bassist from "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" thru "Mother Popcorn," totally slept on)
Clayton Fillyau! (bridge between the New Orleans second line and funk music, drummer on Live at the Apollo, and inventor of the breakbeat - seriously, check out "I've Got Money")

I thought this revive was going to be about the new NowAgain JBs-before-they-were-the-JBs release. It's pretty good. Phelps Collins is the star of the show, which isn't usually the case.
