"Thunder Soul"- Documentary about the Kashmere Stage Band!!

For those of you who LOVE FUNK MUSIC! I just saw one of the best documentary films ever about a high school band in the 60s and 70s in Texas (Known as the Kashmere Stage Band)...at the Museum of Tolerance.


Here's one popular well known song in the Bboy community:
Super Strut Pt. I (Kenny Dope Remix)


The documentary really was a great example about how having Arts Education in Schools is so important in cultivating youth, and enriching peoples lives.

It showed how one man, one teacher, known as "PROF", was able to cultivate these young highschool students in to creating a professional sounding band. So much Funk, So much Soul!!! Little did I know the history of this band!

I've been breaking 11 years now, and I've heard many of their songs, not knowing they were a high school band!

Thanks to Stones throw Records for helping let this music continue in it's legacy.

Some other of my fave songs, some are re-arrangements
