#FunkyFriday Classic earworm from #YarbroughAndPeoples. They had a string of hits on the #RhythmAndBlues charts in the early 1980s but dropped out after years of "not getting paid" by the suits.

Rap Moves On: The making of The Message by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five (An oral history)

“Don’t push me, ’cause I’m close to the edge…”  It’s well known that ‘The Message,’ with its slow, spare, ominous groove and downbeat slice-of-life lyric, opened new directions for hip-…
