An early-'80s jazz-pop-R&B synthesis as durable and pleasing as any other, Straight from the Heart was Patrice Rushen's most successful album, at least from a sales standpoint: it peaked at number 14 on the pop chart, 25 slots higher than 1980's Pizzazz. Still working with a core group of associates -- including Freddie Washington, Charles Mims, Paul M. Jackson, and Marlo Henderson (along with a still young Gerald Albright) -- that went back to her earlier Elektra albums, the material here is as slick as ever, but not at the expense of lighter rhythms or less memorable melodies. Much of the album's popularity can be attributed to the club hit "Forget Me Nots," Rushen's most-known single -- a breezy, buoyant mixture of handclaps, fingersnaps, twisting bass, and Rushen's typically blissful (and not overplayed) electric piano, not to mention the incorporation of a bad bass-and-percussion breakdown. (If you were born after the mid-'70s or so, you'd be more likely to recognize the song as the basis of Will Smith's "Men in Black.") Beyond a forgettable ballad or two, the only disappointment is the Brenda Russell collaboration on "Breakout!," where rock affectations (gnarling electric guitar, grimacing vocal tactics that suit neither Rushen nor Russell) damage what could've been a bigger hit. "Remind Me," despite not being released as a single, is a sweet and low-slung groove that has been sampled and interpolated by no less than a dozen significant rap and R&B songs -- including Faith Evans' "Fallin' in Love," Notorious B.I.G.'s "Unbelievable," MoKenStef's "He's Mine," and Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s "I Need You Tonight." But it's not like anything about this album requires that kind of validation. [Rhino's 1996 reissue adds the 12" versions of all three singles, including seven very replayable minutes of "Forget Me Nots," as well as two single edits.]

- 疯克音乐(Funk)也称放克音乐。作为连接传统“灵魂乐”(Soul)和早期“迪士高"(Disco)的过渡音乐。 Funk是在上世纪六十年代由美国非裔创造出的音乐。它混合了Soul、R&B、Jazz的元素,相比下,它又弱化了旋律与和声,以更强烈激昂的节奏律动让人舞蹈起来,其打击乐不时出现的「骤停」感、贝斯的线条感及跃动感,是它的标志之处。 后来的Disco、Contempopary R&B、Hip Hop乃至部分电子乐都受到了Funk的影响。 James Brown为Funk音乐的开源崛起作出了很大的贡献,堪称Funk音乐的教父。 除此之外代表歌手还有: Rick James Earth wind & fire Kool and The Gang The Gap Band Prince Michael Jackson 不过我入坑的是火星哥Bruno Mars_《UptownFunk》实在是太爽了 根据个人喜好,歌单收录侧重于节奏感强烈的歌曲。喜欢放克乐的朋友欢迎投稿,大家一起听一起快乐跳舞啦! 2022.3.10 by我就这味儿
