Indeed, old R & B and funk it is! James Brown, the Ronettes and anything on Stax like Sam & Dave. Throw in some afrobeat and you've got a real party.

True! I've got boxed sets for most of those folks you listed. Give me the p-funk, gotta have that funk!

misterlee 2 years ago

Blues based rock and roll. I prefer the uptempo stuff, but slow stuff has its place, too.

RoeDapple 2 years ago

Anything played on an accordion. or a kazoo. Add a bonfire too. But keep the beer flowing. And no videos please. The last thing I want to do is remember it or have it show up on youtube.

Ke$ha.

Back in the '60's we would have sandbar parties. Big driftwood bonfires, sometimes someone would bring a tinny sounding transistor radio for music or on a good night somebody might have a guitar (and know how to play it!) Ah, the sounds of the sixties, never get tired of listening to them. Mostly though couples would bring a blanket and slip away to another part of the sandbar and do "The Hokey Pokey". Sometimes you could hear them.

P-Funk. Anybody heard the new Bootsy Collins CD? It's da bomb!!

Bee Gees, John Travolta is my hero, pointing at the sky like that, still gives me goosebumps. Every time I here staying alive I can't help but break it down, no matter where I am, I got all the moves. I think Hollis would be proud, where is he?

O except when he hit Sissy, fn rhinestone cowboy.

I don't dance. Never could, never will. But I like to watch dancing. Especially pole dancing.

Soukous/Afrobeat. Throw in some old school funk and a nice blues shuffle. Add some Basie for spice.

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 2 years ago

CWGOKU, Hey, it's ok to dance.
However, if Streisand makes you want to shake your groove thang... That is big trouble in little China.

Interesting. Ke$ha and Travolta mentioned so closely. Found this.

What was Barbra Streisand's eighth album?

"Alchohol does not improve your dancing, it just weakens your judgement." True. It also affects your ability to hear. Ever notice how loud you (I, we) have to talk to be understood when we imbibe? . . huh?

BS eighth album "I Need a Man". . . . but not me! Noooo . . .I didn't say it!

I am all over this Funk. I like hip-hop, too. Don't understand what they are saying, but it has a good beat.

I thought Streisand's 8th album was "Smell the Glove."

Best music to dance to? Live music.

And Mr. First, nobody wants to dance with a lawyer anyway.

I already have a picture of him standing next to a forked Escort hanging in a beautiful gold leaf frame! It's on the wall over my computer desk in momma's basement. Not autographed (yet) but I treasure it and keep it locked in the vault when I'm away from my desk. 'bout 2 hours/day.

I actually have a video of Whitney and Jonathan singing and dancing. Psst, don't say anything about Whitney's singing, she's kind of sensitive about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmU_Fq... I think the two blue guys might be Roe and Autie but they can't talk about it.
