They Sound The Same - James Brown, Le Pamplemousse, and Barry White

[Disco Funk]

Here's my excuse of a thread to post a video of Barry White performing Its Ecstacy When You Lay Next To Me

So, did Barry White rip off Le Pamplessmousse and their track Le Spank, or was it the other way around? And who ripped off James Brown, who came up with that exact bass lick on his Everybody Wanna Get Funky One More Time?

It was the other way around. Laurin Rinder even admits as much in this interview I did with him a few years back...

I didn't see it either, and I even you the 'Find' function on the browser, looking for 'Spank', 'Barry', and 'Pamplemousse'.

My apologies and thanks for discovering this omission. It seems that during a past site update several paragraphs were inadvertently deleted. I went back to the original manuscript and redid the piece so the Barry White reference is there. Again, sorry for that.

Bernie thank you for these wondeful interviews.

Please reconsider doing more of them since you've got the clout .... and the opportunity to do them is fast ticking away ...
