Dennis Coffey - Dennis Coffey
maandag 11 april 2011
Funk legend Coffey revisits his back catalogue with a lot of help from some friends.
Dennis Coffey is a musician of rare pedigree. His recording career actually stretches back to the 1950s, though he is best known for the wah-wah and guitar distortion he brought to Motown’s hit releases of the late 1960s while a member of the Funk Brothers house band, as heard on immortal records such as Cloud Nine and Ball of Confusion by The Temptations and Edwin Starr’s War to name but a few. Breaking away from Motown in the early 1970s, he cut the massive instrumental Scorpio (which has been endlessly sampled in hip hop), scored the soundtrack for Blaxploitation kung-fu flick Black Belt Jones, worked with Parliament/Funkadelic, and co-produced Rodriguez’s legendary Cold Fact LP. Now in his 70s, a new Coffey solo album is certainly surprising; though he has been sporadically active since the late 1980s.
