The great Jimmy Castor has passed on.
Jimmy is known as a singer/saxaphonist and energetic bandleader of his
70s funk group, the Jimmy Castor Bunch.
He also provided pivotal inspiration in hip hop music,
which sampled his funky crossover songs.
His first album dropped in the golden year of funk, 1972, and “Troglodyte (Cave Man)”
became an anthem of the dancefloor, among many more to come over the band’s career.
“It’s Just Begun” is sampled “by everyone in hip hop” as Jimmy put it.
Most recently Jimmy was sampled by Kanye West on the artists debut album.
