P School | Leave your worries behind

Classic disco/funk from Heatwave.

P School | Ain't No Stoppin Us Now

|
My mom says this was one of my favorite joints as a 80sbby. RIP to both McFadden and Whitehead.

P School | Strung Out

|
The sample used for the 'Reminisce' video for today.

P School | Family Reunion

|
That's where most of today. Chillin' in an non-air conditioned community center battling over the last piece of chicken. I'll chill with the cousins I know, those closest to me. Pray for me. jk lol

P School | Rock Creek Park

|
Just do it.

P School | Never Can Say Goodbye

|
Words could never be anymore true. Song was recently flipped for Rhymefest's Man in the Mirror mixtape.
Last post for today. We will continue tomorrow with solo Michael and his gradual rise to becoming the king.

P School | I Want You Back

|
Classic tune from their childhood days. Used in another kid acts debut single years later.

P School | Dancin' Machine

|
The group continued well into the 70s. Here they are on the Merv Griffin show. J Dilla flipped the groovy tune for Q-Tip's The Renaissance with "Move."

P School | I'll Be There

|
Epic song for group that stands the test of time. It reigned again in the 90s when a certain pop diva covered it for her MTV Unplugged concert.

P School | ABC

|
The hits keep comin', and the Jackson's keep influencing.

P School | It's Great to Be Here

|
I didn't know it then, but this classic tune was the backdrop to one of my fave tracks from the ladies of 702.

P School | C....O O L

|

Off The Time's debut album from '81. Cool. PBP.

P School | Doesn't take much to make me happy

|
Classic disco hit from The Emotions. You cannot have any type of old school function without playing this song.

P School | Bow wow wow yipee yo yipee yay

|
George Clinton and Parliament are still scoring strong, as I witnessed them at the time trails for the Indy 500 a month ago. Try not moving to this.

P School | Darkness all around...

|
It's funny how I first heard this song. Gladys Knight and the Pips made great music. Imagination

P School | Love's Train

|
Classic slow jam from the brothers of Con Funk Shun. I saw them in concert my freshman year; and no school rocks like old school.

P School | Don't slap me, cuz I'm not in the mood

|


My favorite jam by the men-all-pausing ladies of Klymaxx. Funky 80s, and did anyone else catch a certain star's cameo? Hint: Foxy lady

P School | Naaa-na-na-naa-na!

|
Direct. Straight to the point. Still makes a statement today. Respect Yourself - The Staple Singers

P School | After all the reasons why...

|
I don't know any African American who didn't grow up listening to this group. I'm sure there are a few, but they are no acquaintance of mine. Friday nights were spent listening to their 3-disc compilation The Eternal Dance and the live album Gratitude. With a mix of funk, soul, rock, and gospel, Earth Wind & Fire is by far my favorite group of all time. And one can not mention EW&F without mentioning the signature love ballad led by Philip Bailey - "Reasons". And it has to be the LIVE version.

P School | Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-Oh-Oooooh

|
I may have been born in '87, but my parents began in '55 & '56 respectively, meaning when they were 21 they had P Funk. Dig?!? Its perfect when planning a dance/distraction to escape from a mental institution, right Ed?
