Hey y'all.

I did a quick search on the Boards for Keziah Jones, and he was only mentioned once, by Dr Loon. That was 5 years ago! Please someone tell me you've heard of blufunk? Anyone?

Now I don't necessary like every single one of his songs - He was apparently under the thumb of his label at some point, and you can sometimes hear in albums like African Spacecraft and Liquid Sunshine that they were looking for a new jimi.

But if you like funk, you need to listen to Blufunk Is A Fact. That album is a milestone in my own musical life, up there with Curtis Mayfield's Superfly, Fela Kuti's Roforofo etc. Yeah, I kow, that's open for debate, but it's a personal choice.

Check out his videos on youtube, they're well worth it.

So? Has anybody here heard of him ?
