Five Flavors of Funk 70 : "City Pop Vol. 07"

 

Welcome back to the Five Flavors of Funk!  Today, we're combining Five Flavors of Funk Episode 70 with City Pop Episode 07!  For those who don't know, City Pop is a fusion of Western styled pop, rock, disco, funk, R&B, Adult Contemporary and yacht rock. This Japanese concoction had its heyday during the late 70s and early 80s, a time when Japan was riding high in its bubble economy.  These tunes all sit nicely in the funk sub-genre of City Pop!  We hope you enjoy today's show!
