Second Listen: "Funky Music (Is a Part of Me)" (Luther)


Back in 1976, Luther Vandross was the lead vocalist for a group coincidentally named Luther, who would release their self-titled debut album with the thumping second single "Funky Music (Is a Part of Me)." Though the single would only go onto peak at #34 on the Hot Soul Singles chart, David Bowie would rework the song with the assistance of Luther Vandross for his joint "Fascination," which is lifted from Bowie's "Young Americans." Shout out to Josh Kun for reminding me of this gem in Luther's discography. Take a first or second listen below to "Funky Music (Is a Part of Me)" and Enjoy!
