Featured in TIR Episode 156 (Part 2 of 2): Keyboardist-singer Kevin Lassiter, who during the mid to late 1970s was a member of the Kay-Gees, as well as that group’s mentors, Kool & the Gang. 

Led by guitarist Kevin Bell, the younger brother of Robert “Kool” Bell and Ronald Bell -- the latter of whom guided and produced the Kay-Gees -- the band burst onto the funk scene in 1974 with the very Kool & the Gang-like smash hit, “You’ve Got to Keep on Bumpin’.” The group would go on to release four studio albums and several more top-notch funk and dance tracks, including “Get Down,” “Who’s the Man With the Master Plan,” “On the Money,” “Hustle Wit’ Every Muscle” and “Waiting at the Bus Stop.” 

Before the Kay-Gees had called it a day, Lassiter had moved on to the parent band, appearing on Kool & the Gang’s Open Sesame, The Force and Everybody’s Dancin’ albums. Lassiter’s subsequent projects included another funky R&B group called Forecast, which released one album in 1982.

Featured in TIR Episode 155 (Part 3 of 3): Keyboardist-singer Fred Mills, a member of notorious funk queen Betty Davis’ 1970s band. He contributed to her classic recordings that bridged the rock-funk influences of Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone and Janis Joplin, and also toured with the controversial icon. 

Davis' great tunes include "If I'm in Luck I Might Get Picked Up," "Anti-Love Song," "He Was a Big Freak," "Your Mama Wants You Back," "They Say I'm Different," "Nasty Gal," "Talkin Trash" and "Whorey Angel." Her first album in 1973 was produced by Sly & the Family Stone drummer Greg Errico (featured in another TRUTH IN RHYTHM episode) and featured members of Graham Central Station.

Davis, whose last name came from a short marriage with jazz legend Miles Davis, released three blistering albums in the first half of the 1970s, but her raw sounds and overt sexuality relegated her to cult status. By the end of that decade, she abandoned her music career, seldom to be heard from again. However, through the years her status grew such that today she is considered a trailblazing legend. 

That story is told in 2017’s documentary, “Betty: They Say I’m Different,” which also features Mills and other members of her Funkhouse band. Here he shares insights into her enigmatic life, trailblazing and music.

Featured in TIR Episode 154 (Part 2 of 2): Bassist-composer Joe Plass, an original member of one of the 1980s’ most underappreciated funk bands -- Shock.

Among Shock's other killer tracks were “Let Your Body Do the Talkin’,” “Electrophonic Phunk,” “Loosen Up,” “Nite Life,” “Crank It Up,” “San Juan,” “Waitin’ on Your Love” and “Time or Our Lives.” Plass also played on hit albums by saxman Kenny G, and in 2012 released his solo set, “After Hours.” 

In 2007, Shock achieved some much-deserved notoriety by being inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame. Here, Plass reveals the whole kit and caboodle.
