This is a conversation with a great funk master, Bill Curtis (Mr Fatback)
BILL CURTIS FOUNDER, CO-PRODUCER & LEADER OF FATBACK. TRAIL BLAZER, LOVER OF MUSIC AND WORSHIPPER OF THE FUNK!.

Bill Curtis has performed with influential artists Jackie Wilson, Marvin Gaye, The Moonglows, King Curtis, Ruth Brown, Jesse Belvin, The Ohio Players, Earth, Wind & Fire, Aretha Franklin and countless others and has received several invitations to the White House.  Anyone who listens to the opening bars of Wicky Wacky, Bus Stop or Spanish Hustle knows how much he has influenced funk and soul music for a lifetime or two. 
The story continues and he discusses the past and the present. Hip hop, before Sugarhill there was Fatback and Bill Curtis and Friends are still touring and delivering new music that deserves to be heard.
