This is music for your extended Memorial Weekend! This episode starts in Queens with A Tribe Called Quest’s “Check the Rhime,” where Q-Tip and Phife Dawg make conversation sound like rhythm science.Magic City Hippies bring breezy Miami funk-pop with Antwaun Stanley on “Little Bit of Love,” while Jarekus Singleton’s “Gonna Let Go” connects blues, church, and grit. Then The Black Keys dig into raw blues history with “Who’s Been Foolin’ You.” The Burroughs come through with their new drop, “Make You Sweat,” built for joy, and getting out of your head. Press play and fire up the speakers even if the grill isn't hot.
For Funk's Sake is hosted by me, Bruce Caines, and comes to you each week from the studios of OWWR, Old Westbury Web Radio (owwrny.org).
