Friday Flashback: Bootsy Collins - "Physical Love" (Thumb Jig)

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:39:00 GMT

Most people know Chaka Khan as the one-woman disco who tore up Top Of The Pops with I Feel For You in 1984.

Funk This, first released last year, is characterised by Rufus’s grit and now accommodates natural ally Mary J Blige on the single Disrespectful. Pay attention divas – this is...
