...Well the thing about it is, I don't tend to like to play real hard so in the beginning there were times where I could be overpowered a little bit just by the sheer funk of their playing.

The Minneapolis studio group's lone hit was released in 1980, and it features some of the best production techniques of the late '70s and early '80s. Where, exactly, is "Funkytown?" Once it's pulsing beat gets hold of you, you no longer care...
