THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
240-Wild Cherry-Play That Funky Music.
1976-Number 7 single.
Best Bit-At 0.01.Wild Cherry started out life as a Rock band,one night when they were playing a black audience member shouted ‘Play some Funky music white boy.’
The bands founding member and writer of this song Rob Parissi immediately wrote down the phrase on a bar order pad.On completion of the song the other band members were concerned about the lyrics but Parissi insisted onkeeping them.
Wild Cherry were formed as a Rock band from Mingo Junction,Ohio,U.S in 1970,by 1975 Rob Parissi was the only original member left,he recruited new personnel and they recorded four studio Albums until the parting of ways in 1979.
Parissi got the idea for the bands name from a box of cough drops he saw when he was in hospital.
‘Play That Funky Music’ was inspired by the Ohio Players 1974 song ‘Fire,'(see also best songs 506) especially the bassline and vocal stylings.
‘They were dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’ and just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted.’
