Funky Music Video - Fatback Band - (Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop

If funk and disco went toe-to-toe in a steel cage death-match in New York City, the resulting brawl would be called Fatback.

The Fatback band began dropping funky licks in the early 70s. As disco entered the scene, Fatback shortened it’s name and started producing distinct, upbeat New York funk-infused dance grooves. This signature party sound was the perfect marriage of raw funk and the good side of disco.

With that said, are you ready?
