bazooka 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2011 from wikipedia: "Watson died on stage on May 17*, 1996, while on tour in Yokohama, Japan. According to eyewitness reports, he collapsed mid guitar solo. His last words were 'ain't that a bitch', probably in reference to the song Ain't that a Bitch." I've already posted this here and in other threads, but I just can't get enough. Ain't That A Bitch - Johnny "Guitar" Watson --- *15 years ago today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MuzikTyme 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2011 I've already posted this here and in other threads, but I just can't get enough. Ain't That A Bitch - Johnny "Guitar" Watson That's one song I'll definitely never tire of, either. I miss ole Johnny. He was so good to his audience. How 'bout this one... Give Up the Funk ~ Parliament And...just one more thing. I don't believe anyone, funk or soul beat Earth, Wind and Fire's "Spirit" album, 1976! Look for ever and you'll NEVER find a bad song! here's but one of the extremely superior tracks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl 22 Report post Posted November 14, 2011 Ann Peebles - I Can't Stand The Rain Love this sound and her voice, but I have a hard time listening to a lot of Ann Peebles because she's always singing about how awful her man is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
night2day 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2011 I've truly never listed Ann Peebles in my "funk" category. But, I guess you like her...but do you think she's about funk? What is funk? The following musicians explain it cleverly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
