Buddy Miles R.I.P.

Buddy Miles, awesome drummer and singer who played with Jimi Hendrix, sadly died on Tuesday night at the age of 60 in Austin, Texas.

Miles, Hendrix, and Billy Cox were the infamous Band of Gypsys but before Buddy joined the legendary band he drummed and sang in his own band, The Buddy Miles Express. He later went on to work with Carlos Santana and was also the vocalist behind the famous California Raisins adverts in the 80s.

Here is my favourite Buddy Miles track which I posted to kickstart 2008...

Buddy Miles - Pull Yourself Together

Freeez - Southern Freeez

How good were the British pop charts in 1981? The Passions, Talking Heads, The Jam and Beggar and Co? Awesomo.

Watch out for more classic Brit Funk over the coming weeks.

Grace Jones - Walking In The Rain

Manzel - Space Funk

The Funk Brothers - Tell Me It's Just A Rumor Baby [Instrumental]

I originally wanted to put the video of Kanye West performing Stronger with "Daft Punk" working the Jazz Mutants at the Grammys last week but they don't seem to last 5 minutes on YouTube.

So why not enjoy some classic Miss Ross instead?
