The History of Knee Deep:
To all you Funksters out there, here's the history of this incredible song.....
in the late-70s, Disco was dominating the charts. Donna Summer, the BeeGees and KC and the Sunshine Band were all in heavy rotation on the radio. Acts like Cameo and other R&B/Funk acts were doing okay but only in the Black community.
So, James Brown attempted a comeback in 1976 with Get Up Offa That Thing, which was meant to challenge Disco and restore Funk and R&B back to the head of the industry.
Acts such as Brick, Con Funk Shun, the Isley Brothers and others were dropping big hits but still couldn't compete with Disco mainly because Disco was being played at all the discotheques (nightclubs) and skating rinks.
In 1978, George Clinton and Funkadelic exploded beyond the R&B charts with One Nation Under A Groove and he knew then what he had to do to crush Disco once and for all, so he wrote the song Knee Deep and sent it to his friend Juni Morrison from the legendary Ohio Players.
It was Juni, not George, who created this amazing track and when he sent it back to George Clinton, George knew it was a hit and he had the band that could handle it.
So, the genius that he was, George had Michael "Kidd Funkadelic" Hampton on lead guitar along with Phillippe Winn (from the legendary Spinners) ad-libbing the lead vocals near the end. Let me also add that if you think the drums on this track is through the roof and as funky as a beat can get, it was legendary Funk bassist Bootsy Collins who, coincidentally, played drums on this song (as well as on One Nation Under A Groove).
The entire rest of the song is just the Mighty P-Funk mob doing what they do best and the rest is history.
By the way, in case you all are wondering how George was able to recruit Juni Morrison from the Ohio Players and Phillippe Winn from the Spinners, it's because they were both homeboys and good friends of Bootsy Collins. NOW YOU KNOW

@snellsman
Good read, I learned a lot just now
@breezecanada4038
@@snellsman Thanks. BTW, did I mention that Bootsy Collins was on drums on this song (and on One Nation Under A Groove)? This is why the unique Funk rhythm of the snare is in a deadlock with the bass line.
@missylaster9808
Thank you so Very Much 😘👍🏽

This the jam y'all since I was 15 years old. I'm 62 now and still dancing right now to it. Who else?😊
@breezecanada4038
This is definitely the jam, but you were 18 when this came out in 1979.
@valeriewright1169
The 70’s was lit!!! We was jamming to funk, disco, r&b and rap music. What a time to be born and raised in the 60's and 70’s!!!! My all-time Parliament/Funkadelic JAM. Still jamming in 2023!!!
@breezecanada4038
I would marry you just for saying that.
