Скачать или смотреть Bubbha Thomas & The Lightmen - Survival Song ℗ 1975

Before Conrad Johnson reached Kashmere High School, he directed young drummer Bubbha Thomas in Booker T. Washington High School’s stage band. Born in Houston’s Fourth Ward, Thomas, like Johnson, has devoted his life to furthering his city’s prowess as a jazz/funk mecca. An actively recording independent musician, Thomas’s first releases - on Houston-based Judnell Records - run the gamut from outside to spiritual; his releases on his own Lightin’ imprint progressively take on the funk feel. “The Phantom” stands as Thomas’ first funk release. But it would have been funkier if Thomas recorded it with the insight he possesses today: “If I had redone the song, I would have taken out all that skittering on the snare drum and put the backbeat heavier."
