Winston Wants to Play in Next Year's Super Bowl

[Green Jets & Ham]

That is a pretty funny story. Funny thing is I would have been upset myself being that hip-hop was just developing and I was very young at that age but I grow up on all the old R&B, Jazz and some of the soft rock greats also. So I would have been cool with your music but at the age and mentality I was then, it would have been a ruff ride not hearing my Das-efx, EPMD, Eric B and Rakim, or L.L. Cool J, Big Daddy Kane etc-etc… LOL!

LOL I know what you mean, I actually felt sorry for the kid, he had that look on his face like; you old mutha***** are killing me with this shit. Needless to say he didn't hop a ride back home with us.

This is the kind of stuff we were playing for the whole ride

OH HELL NO or NAW (as the youths would say now-a-days). I would have been hot as hell listening to that for two straight hours, LOL! Give me some Teddy P, Marvin Gaye, Temptations, O'Jays, Al Green and Isley Brothers and maybe I would have been able to survive it but The Originals. Wow, that is going back to damn far back, LOL!

Note: If The Originals are all part of that same era then I guess I just didn't like them. Their music is just to damn slow.

Funny part about all the old music as opposed as to what today music is, is that the music of the hip-hop era was sampled from the 60's and 70's and 80's music. Some even further back then that. James Brown music for example is still used today in hip-hop music. Not as much as when hip-hop first started but every now and then you will hear it or music from your era in today music. It all evolves my friend!

The Originals were pretty much the same era. Most of these groups were from Detroit or Chicago at the time. Detroit of course being synonymous with Motown, but there was real good R&B coming out of Chicago at that time too. But it was around the same era as the cats you listed, except Al Green and Teddy who both came on the scene a little bit later, early to mid 70's, while the others were all successful in the mid to late 60's, but all relatively in the same ten year span.

BTW this group was from Chicago and they were actually discovered by Jim Brown, he saw them perform this song (below) in a club and got them a record deal, and they had quite a few hit records.

Wow, I remember that song and I've always loved it to. I didn't know who made it but that is a classic. Now riding in a vehicle for two straight hours as a young teenager, older teenager or even in my young or mid 20's would have killed me without hearing some hip-hop. That was the time when hip-hop was just getting discovered. It was fresh, fly and new and never really done before. It was like a revolution, like finding energy or something. I can't believe you guys made that young man sit through this music at that time when hip-hop was just being discovered at that time. That had to be torture, LOL!!!

I even asked him if he needed a ride as a goof when we were leaving, and he was, "nah I'm good" LOL!!

The Friends of Distinction were hot back then.

This was another one of their hit records, and it gives the Jim Brown backstory.
