Dennis Coffey - Scorpio (Accompanied By ST Dancers)

The early '70s witnessed the explosion of funky music on the U.S. music scene.

Call it urban, call it funk, call it whatever you want, but it was unlike anything that the mainstream music scene in the U.S. had seen.

Traditional R&B and soul was one thing. What came out in the early '70s was something entirely different. It was urban, it was gritty and it had attitude.

Dennis Coffey's "Scorpio, coming out in '71, epitomized that. It was a superb instrumental that just blew the doors off, with a driving rift that grabbed you and didn't let go.

And, man, could you dance to it.

What I love about this MV is watching the Soul Train dancers dance to it. THIS was Soul Train! This was the '70s! This was everything special and awesome about that decade when it came to soul & funk!!
