flashlight....and even add Burn Rubber and Humpin to that ...as well as a few other Zapp and Pfunk tunes...

at that same time you were seeing the rise of what would be called Electro-Funk.... with Records like planet rock...pack jam.....I need a freak..... some of Egyptian Lovers early songs... that was when you saw the elements of hip hop as a genre starting to merge with the funk that was happening....into a variation which again some call electro-funk....

like you say that time folks call the Bridge..... shows that musical lineage that I think a lot of people dissmiss...as I've said on here before people look at hip hop as being born in a vaccum ...something out of nothing, as opposed to as an evolution of the music at the time.
