Defining R&B and Disco in the late 70s was none other than Chic. They exploded on the scene in 1977 with “Everybody Dance” and that’s what everyone did: Dance! In 1978, they released their second album, “C’est CHIC” which featured the iconic cut “Le Freak” which sold over 6 million copies and the melodic “I Want Your Love.” The album reached #4 on the Billboard album chart, topped the R&B chart for 11 straight weeks and was selected as Billboard Magazine 1979 R&B Album of the Year. “Freak out” to this smooth t-shirt that honors CHIC.

Go-Go music. If you’re from the DMV then we don’t have to say another word. If you’re not then you need a little schooling on this genre of Funk. Go-Go burst on the scene in the 70s. Born and bred in Washington, D.C., Go-Go is heavily influenced by horns, percussions and live audience call and response lyrics. The Godfather of this music is Chuck Brown. Chuck put Go-Go on the map nationwide in 1978 with his hit “Bustin’ Loose.” With is band, The Soul Searchers, Chuck went on to record regional hits like “Run Joe,” “We Need Some Money” and the party anthem “Wind Me Up, Chuck.” Chuck Brown and The Soul Searchers paved the way for bands like Trouble Funk, Experience Unlimited (remember “Da Butt” from Spike Lee’s School Daze?) and Rare Essence. They also influence the sounds of R&B and Hip-Hop artists like Salt N Pepa and Jill Scott. Chuck died in 2012 but his sound lives forever.

From the depths of the Deep South comes one of the preeminent Funk/R&B group of the '70s: the Commodores! Born at Tuskegee University in 1968, the Commodores burst on the scene in 1974 with “Machine Gun”. They then went on a streak of cranking out 14 top 20 R&B hits from 1974 to 1980 including “Slippery When Wet,” “Brick House,” “Too Hot ta Trot” and “Fancy Dancer.” Then they flipped the script on us with several smoothed out #1 ballads like “Just to Be Close to You,” “Easy,” “Three Time A Lady” and “Still.”

There is no way we can be called Funk Societee and not offer a Funkadelic t-shirt. Believe it or not, “One Nation Under A Groove” was actually Funkadelic’s tenth studio album! The album was released in September 1978 and was the band’s most critically and commercially successful LP. In fact, most music experts consider it the best funk album ever. Vibe magazine even called it one of the 100 essential albums of the 20th century and Rolling Stone magazine ranks it #177 on its list of greatest 500 albums of all time……among any genre of music! Now that’s saying something.

One of the greatest songs of all time….of any music genre: “One Nation Under A Groove.” This is the title track to the 1978 album that gives us 4 minutes of funktasy. And that’s only on the 45. The 12”, which was a must at parties, extends that to over 11 minutes. Play this at a party back in the day and see if EVERYONE didn’t get on the dance floor. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Soul chart in late September 1978 and stayed there for six weeks only being bumped by Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman.” The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducted the tune into its 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll and the Rolling Stone magazine lists it as #474 of “the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”.

Unless your a jazz fan, most people never heard of Hugh Masekela. But you've heard of his featured song, “Grazing in the Grass,” which is one of the anthems of the late ‘60s. A trumpeter whose sound infused melodic jazz with contemporary soul during the ‘60s, recorded “Grazing in the Grass” in 1968 as a piece designed to capture the vibe of the era. It worked: “Grazing in the Grass” hit #1 on the Billboard Hot Singles chart on July 26, 1968, sold over 4 million copies and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Contemporary Pop Performance – Instrumental.
A year after its release, the Friends of Distinction covered “Grazing in the Grass” creating an up-tempo, dance version and adding vocals. It was a stone-cold winner reaching #3 and #5 on the Billboard Pop and R&B charts respectively in 1969.
The groove-centric cover art that reflects the feel of the song works perfectly for a t-shirt. If you’re wondering what “Bajabula Bonke” is that’s the B-side of the single and means the Healing Song.

Usually the first song you think about when the band Heatwave comes to mind is “Boogie Nights”…..and rightfully so. Released in 1977 and written by band member Rod Templeton (who also wrote a bunch of songs for Michael Jackson including “Rock with You”), it was the first single released on Heatwave’s debut album, “Too Hot To Handle.” So “hot” was this single that it charted #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over 2 million copies in the U.S. We give our first shout-out to Heatwave for creating this funk/dance classic.

Off that album, two Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles were produced: “That’s the Way (I Like It)” and “Get Down Tonight.” Their following album took the band to the next level with hits like “I’m Your Boogie Man,” “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty” and “Keep It Coming Love.” KC & the Sunshine Band made the dance floor shake during the mid-70s. For that, we give them major props.

Kool & the Gang are interesting. First, these Brothers can play! And 70 million albums sold proves that. But there’s a first and second act to Kool and the Gang. Act 1 was definitely more funk driven. Their debut album, “Wild and Peaceful”, dropped in 1973 and was a stone cold winner. Birthed off that album was the thematic “Jungle Boogie,” “Hollywood Swinging” and horn-driven “Funky Stuff.” On following albums they generated hits like the melodic “Summer Madness” and dance-driven “Open Sesame.” Act 2. After disappearing from the scene for a few years, the band came back with a new lead singer and a much mellower R&B sound. That catapulted the group to top R&B and Pop status. From ’79 to ’84, the band blasted out six top 10 hits including “Ladies Night,” “Get Down on It,” “Fresh,” “Joanna” and the still popular, “Celebrate!” With that type of success, how can we not give love to Kool & the Gang!

We at Funk Societee don’t restrict the funk to the U.S. It’s a global thing. And no other group represents that like Kraftwerk. The four fellas from Germany have been around since 1970. But it wasn’t until 1978 that they reached their peak here in the States with the electronic-funk driven “Trans-Europe Express” off the iconic LP of the same name. Rolling Stone consider the album one of the 500 Greatest of All Time (it ranks #253) and Vibe considers it one of the 100 essential albums of the 20th Century. The influence of Kraftwerk can be heard in early hip-hop with Afrika Bambaataa’s classic “Planet Rock”. We give major props to this group for introducing a new sound for our musical pleasure.

Their singles “Jack And Jill,” “You Can’t Change That” and “A Woman Need Love” all were top ten hits on the R&B and Pop charts. Parker left the group in 1981 and went on to pop stardom with “The Other Woman” and “Ghostbusters.” He also wrote a bunch of songs for other artist like New Edition (“Mr. Telephone Man”) and Cheryl Lynn (“Shake It Up Tonight”).

If there’s one band that cuts across a bunch of genres, it’s Sly & the Family Stone. Are they rock, soul, or funk? How about all of the above. The band had its first hit in February 1968 with “Dance to the Music,” that made it to #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. They followed that up with the album “Stand!” in 1969 that featured a cache of artistic and socially-conscious hits including “Everyday People,” the title track, “Stand!,” “I Want To Take You Higher” and the provocative “Don’t Call Me Nigger, Whitey.” The album sold 3 million copies cementing the group’s popularity and place in music history. In 1971, Sly released its psychedelic anthem “Family Affair” which became a #1 hit on Billboard Hot 100. Sly & the Family Stone changed the game in musicality and approach.

Music historians consider Stevie Wonder’s “classic period” to run from 1972-77. So we’ll go right to the third album of that “classic period” Stevie’s 16th album “Innervisions” which many believe was Stevie’s greatest work. The melding of various sounds coupled with the thematic tackling of social issues such as drugs, racism, poverty and politics made this a landmark album. Released on August 3, 1973, the album produced three memorable singles: “Higher Ground,” “Don’t You Worry ‘bout a Thing,” and “Living for the City” which won Stevie a Grammy in 1974 for Best R&B Song. The album reached #4 on the Billboard 200 chart, won the Grammy for Album of the Year in ‘74 and is ranked by Rolling Stone magazine as the 24th greatest album of all time.

Made for $58,000, Superfly grossed over $4 million at the box office and is considered a cult hit. The socially-conscious soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield generated two top ten hits in “Superfly” and “Freddie’s Dead” which both sold over a million copies.

Before Motown, Barry Gordy had Tamla Records. Founded in January 1959 with an $800 loan, Tamla was named after a record Gordy heard that was recorded by Debbie Reynolds called “Tammy and the Bachelor” a few years earlier. Tamla’s first act was a group called the Matadors who changed their name to The Miracles and featured a young Smokey Robinson. In 1960, they recorded their first hit on the Tamla label called “Shop Around” that put both the group and the label on the map (the song reached #1 on the R&B charts and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100). The following year, the label released another #1 recording by The Marvelettes, entitled “Please Mr. Postman” that help cement Gordy’s music standing. Tamla continued to be used as the label of choice for Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and the Marvelettes. In 1988, the label was merged with its sister label, Motown.

There are some artists who are so iconic you just say their first name and you know who they are. Teddy Pendergrass is one of them. Originally a drummer, Teddy got his start playing drums for a struggling Philadelphia-based Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. Soon after joining, the group changed labels moving to the famed Gamble & Huff’s Philadelphia International Records. After hearing Teddy sing, Melvin was wise enough to move him to the front line singing. That’s when things blew up. From ’72 to ’75 the group was red hot striking gold with sultry ballad “I Miss You,” “If You Don’t Know Me By Now,” “The Love I Lost,” “Bad Luck” and “Don’t Leave Me This Way.” Teddy left the group in 1975 and, under Gamble & Huff’s tutelage released his solo album in 1977. The album produced two hits: “Only You” and the sexy “Close The Door” Teddy’s first #1 hit. No sophomore jinx was in the plans for Teddy as his follow up LP, “Teddy” included the follow-up to “Close The Door,” “Turn Out The Lights” that reached #2 on the R&B charts.
Teddy was paralyzed in an auto accident in 1982 but still continued to produce music recording a #1 hit in 1988, the up tempo song “Joy.” Teddy passed away in 2010 but he left us with a great gift of music that we pay tribute to.

This R&B classic was released as a single in 1971 by the Jackson 5 and blew up. The song was written by Clifton Davis, who’s known for being the lead actor on the 70s & 80s TV sitcoms “That’s My Mama” and “Amen”. With a twelve year old Michael Jackson on the lead, the song’s smooth and rhythmic sound and vocals drove its success to #2 on the Billboard Pop Singles and #1 on the Billboard Soul Singles charts. Then, like a second act, Gloria Gaynor flipped the script entirely and covered the tune in 1974 as one of the first bonafide disco hits. But there’s nothing like the origin.

The t-shirt we use to print the designs is from a company call Next Level Apparel. They make some of the best t-shirts in the apparel biz. Our base t-shirt is their premium tri-blend crew neck t-shirt. This t-shirt is a mashup of 50% polyester, 25% combed ring spun and 25% rayon. That mix makes for three things: an extremely soft t-shirt that drapes nicely with a vintage-type look. So you’re getting a cool looking shirt that feels great. The t-shirt weighs 4.3 ounces. So you’re not wearing a bulletproof vest but a mid-weight garment. And since the fabric is mostly polyester and rayon, there is little, if any, shrinkage. Now the t-shirt does run a little small so if you like a roomer fit, please select the next size above what you normally wear.
Also, we don’t believe in offering you a one-style-fits-all or “unisex” t-shirt (whatever that is). We give the fellas and ladies a t-shirt that’s specifically made for them and their unique features. If a particular style of t-shirt isn’t available for a gender then we’ll let you know and recommend a size in that shirt that may accommodate you.
In the future, we’ll rollout different styles of tees like a scoop neck (for that off-the-shoulder Flashdance look), long sleeve, hoody and ¾ sleeve raglan so you’ll have a variety of options to choose from year round.
We recommend turning your t-shirt inside out when washing. Please machine wash in cold water with like colors. It’s best to hang dry but it’s cool if you tumble dry on low setting. Please do not iron on the decoration.
