Let's dive into Tom Browne's funk anthem from 1980, "Funkin' For Jamaica (N.Y.)" and the three young phenoms that made it happen: Marcus Miller, Bobby Broom, and Bernard Wright. I'll explore some history on the session and the tune with an exclusive one-on-one with the one-and-only @bobbybroom himself, break down some of the music, and take a moment to reflect on the legacy of 'Nard.
