Keeping in line with the last Funk Friday post. I decided to drop some more Electro Funk for ya. This time showcasing one of my favorite all time late 70’s, early 80’s funk groups, Midnight Star. Midnight Star was one of those groups that were a little ahead of their time, but not too far where no one could get on their level. If you take a listen to them, nearly all tracks from them contained the vocoded, auto-tuned voice, that well T-Pain is wrongfully credited for starting. Anyway, here’s Midnight Star’s - Operator. It’s an awesome track plain and simple. Great vocal melodies, and of course vocoded voices.
