Featured in WYGYFF Episode 23: Canadian singer-songwriter, guitarist and harmonica player Harrison Kennedy. He is an original member of the 1970s soul group Chairmen of the Board (COTB), which from 1970-1973 amassed nine Top 40 R&B hits. Those included “Give Me Just a Little More Time,” “(You’ve Got Me) Dangling on a String,” “Everything’s Tuesday,” “Pay the Piper,” “Chairman of the Board” and “Finders Keepers.” He covers their career, including having Funkadelic as COTB's backing band.
Returning to recording in 2003 after a protracted break, he transformed into a prominent blues artist. His nine blues albums include 2016’s Juno Award-winning Blues Album of the Year, titled “This Is From Here,” and 2022’s “Thanks for Tomorrow.”
RECORDED FEBRUARY 2025
Hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist, author of “Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk” and creator/host of the popular TRUTH IN RHYTHM podcast — "Where'd You Get Your Funk From?" is the latest interview show brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET. Where’d You Get Your Funk From (WYGYFF) is an open format video and audio podcast focusing on the here and now, with a broad range of creative and artistic guests sharing fascinating stories, experiences, and perspectives.
WYGYFF is a welcoming avenue to newer and independent musical acts as well as established and still active musicians of any genre; authors; filmmakers; actors; artists; collectors and archivists; radio & podcast personalities; journalists; scholars; sound techs; promoters; photographers; and other creative people. A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where’d you get your funk from?
This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations.
