Brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET and hosted by Scott “DR GX” Goldfine — musicologist and author of “Everything Is on THE ONE: The First Guide of Funk” ― “TRUTH IN RHYTHM” is the interview show that gets DEEP into the pocket with contemporary music’s foremost masters of the groove.
Featured in TIR Episode 159 (2 parts): Keyboardist-singer-composer Michael “Moneystone” Judkins, a core member of funk group the ADC Band and accomplished sessions/touring musician.
Bursting onto radio in 1978 with the top 10 R&B, P-Funk-inspired hit, “Long Stroke,” ADC (A Direct Current) dropped five albums through 1982. Other standout tracks during that period — some of them produced by the likes of Mass Production and the Fatback Band — included “Stank Machine,” “Talk That Stuff,” “Hangin’ Out,” “Brother Luck,” “Roll With the Punches,” “U-Funk-Ula” and “So Good.” Those superbly funk jams would be enough, but as we will discover the ADC Band’s story goes much deeper — with roots stemming from a true Detroit music legend.
Here, Moneystone reveals that legacy plus working with everyone from the Stone City Band to Cameo to Kid Rock and Martha Reeves as well as his own recordings. Special thanks to drummer and D.J. Gabe Gonzalez for helping set this show up. Check out his “Gonzilla” show at pfunkradio.com.
