12. The Counts

Oh, man! I met them when I played on my first outing with Funkadelic and we did a show together: it was us, it was The Counts and it was War. The Counts were opening and we became so close and so tight with The Counts. They were a three-piece and they had organ, guitar and a drummer and they were just so on it, man. And the music they made was like a cross between the church, funk and the blues. It kinda grabbed me real good and they stabilised the high by kinda making you feel like you were grounded. That foundation that they had was so solid.
