Garry was the best FUNK rhythm guitarist/singer there ever was, and would ever be. Garry's home with Eddie Hazel, and also with a cat from Seattle who (as a child), played with a broom, known to me as Starchild! Peace and Love, Hal- (Message edited by toma_hawk01 on June 19, 2010) | ||

Only people who used water, with teaspoons of sugar (as a substitute of whole milk), in their Cheerios -- are the most qualified to understand the true meaning of FUNK. Garry was a major flank of Georges Parliament Funk army, Garry delivered the "Soft Gospel" side of Funk, while guitarist Eddie Hazel delivered the Funkadelic "Rock hard" edge side. With both Eddie and now Garry gone, the P-Funk forms of Funk, is nothing without Garry. Garry's singing sent chills down my spine. You can't replace Garry's voice, he was the Gospel voice of P-Funk. It's going to take years to asses the magnitude; the damage; and the impact of such a great loss to the Funk world at large. This is a major blow big-time, and it's very sad news I have to learn to deal with musically, and personally because Garry was so honest with music, and real. I can't thank Garry enough for his creativity and love for music. I wish peace and love to the Funk Families who inspired me to think! (It ain't illegal yet!!!) Happy Fathers Day...

First it was Glen Goins, then Eddie Hazel now Garry Shider... RIP I could drive from Frisco to Los Angeles and back only on these two jams and need nothing else. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnvvVsKCPLE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gkmukE9wXU&feature=related By the way, I love Eddie's guitar flipped like Jimi's... The above videos shows all three guys in their mortal state... Never the less -- we are all just dust in the wind... as the song goes.

Cosmic Slop by Funkedelic. Gary Shider lead vocals. I was one of five born to my mother An older sister and three young brothers We've seen it hard, we've seen it kind of rough But always with a smile, she was sure to try to hide The fact from us that life was really tough I can hear my mother call I can hear my mother call (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh) Late at night I hear her call Oh lord, lord I hear her call She said, "father, father it's for the kids (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh) Any and every thing I did. Please, please don't judge me too strong. Lord knows I meant no wrong. Lord knows I meant no wrong." Then the devil sang "Would you like to dance with me? (Ooh-ahh-ooh) We're doin' the cosmic slop." (Ooh-ahh-ooh) (x3) She was well known through the ghetto Tricks would come and then they'd go The neighbors would talk and call her Jezebel But always with a smile, she was sure to try to hide The fact from us that she was catching hell, hey! Hear my mother call I can hear my mother call (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh) Late at night I hear her call Oh lord, lord I hear her call She says, "Father, father it's for the kids (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh) Any and every thing I did. Please, please don't judge me too strong. Lord knows I meant no wrong. Lord knows I meant no wrong." Lord! (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh) Hear my mother call (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh) Hear my mother call She says, "Father, father it's for the kids (ooh-ah-ooh) Any and every thing I did. (ooh-ah-ooh) Please, please don't judge me too strong. Hear my mother call (ooh-ah-ooh) Hear my mother call (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh) | ||

I remember how Gary and the whole of the P-funk masters hit Birmingham UK in the late 70's and totally blew our minds. It was a total experience I'd never had before nor since. It still is one of the best concert/music experiences of my life. Jazzyvee | ||

If music don't give you a righteous religious experience, then it's worthless. The P-Funk's forms of Funk is deeply rooted in African Gospel and African spirituality. I believe Funk is more powerful than any form of music. But that's coming from a person who don't look to validation, or a popular point of view.
