There is only one Float On
First year I went to Zigg Marley in UHall. That was good shit
Little known fact The Floaters were the inspiration for lot of Ty Jeromes shots at UVa
Oh man Teddy has to be up there as one of the GOAT voices. The āI Miss Youā album is in my permanent rotation and I always go back to this live performance of āBe For Real.ā The epitome of 70s soul.
Listened to these guys a bunch my first year.
A buddy saw them at Schafer Court in VCU in 1986 or so before anyone really knew who they were. Evidently, they melted faces in Richmond that day.
Why have i never heard of the Floaters? Awesome song. What time period did they play in? It had to be during the times when I was floating around a lot. Serious though im going to find some more of their songs.
Another all time favorite and generally representing everything Wu Tang.
Also the anthem of the NIL era.
- One-hit wonders. āFloat Onā hit #1 in the UK but only got to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, first blocked out by Andy Gibbās āI Just Want to Be Your Everythingā and then by the Emotionsā immortal masterpiece āBest of My Love.ā
And for the record, NO IRONY THERE. āBest of My Loveā is one of the most sublime singles of the '70ās.
Damnā¦you had to drop the CL Smoothā¦thatās one of my favorite old school jamsā¦the hook might be a bit of a sellout but it gets me every timeā¦just before it comesā¦you instinctively turn up the volume saying to yourself donāt hate me for loving this hook
Ever tell you that the RZA lived in my building in JC?
