Jay Mumford x Soul Supreme: “Electric Frog” (Kool and the Gang) Cover

Cover: “Electric Frog”  by Kool and the Gang (w/ the illustrious Soul Supreme)

On my favorite album of all time (Music is the Message) by my favorite band, I’ve been listening to this cut for 35 years (and trying to fine tune the groove for 12). Swinging that kick pattern and all the nuances at that tempo made it the most challenging of all these covers for me. The late great “Funky” George Brown, my greatest inspiration on the set. 

This strays furthest from the original of all the covers we’ve done but…

1) nailing everything 100% precise proves a point but sometimes you’ve gotta make it your own and

2) this song REALLY ain’t easy to duplicate.

Well, now it’s our own thing haha. Salute George, Ronald “Khalis” Bell, Kool and the whole Gang always. And Mr. Muhammad.
