A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ KZfaq. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of KZfaq I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on KZfaq won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This KZfaq channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

So our chubby white daughter is singing "She's a Brick House' at the top of her lungs as we walk thru the Salt Lake City airport on a weekend that is out of school. It was full of very disapproving families. We sang right along with her. We danced too.

The Commodores is of course, Lionel Ritchie's first band. Try them doing "Machine Gun" and "Night Shift" along with the great Lionel Ritchie songs which he did while with The Commodores, "Sail On", "Easy", "Lady", "Just To Be Close To You", "Three Times A Lady", and the incredible "Still".

@davidakers3564 3 жыл бұрын

One more. You gotta check out the most outrageous funk band of em all: One band with two identities, P-Funk, made up of Parliament and Funkadelic. They performed separately from each other. When they were Parliament, they played more standard r&b/funk songs, performing in more customary costumes of the time. When they were Funkadelic, they did some of the wildest titles imaginable in styles that ranged from hard-core funk to psychedelic, and their performances were spectacles of wild music and noise, visual effects and devices, crazed people wandering around the stage in diapers and mad costumes without having any obvious musical role, necessarily, and a seriously trippy connection between the audience and the band. You should listen to "One Nation Under a Groove" and "Maggot Brain." The new Smithsonian Museum of African-American History and Culture did a major exhibition related to Funkadelic, in which they displayed the original model of the Mother Ship, a space ship that lowered onto the stage and from which the band's leader George Clinton emerged in full costume to among smoke to start a concert.

Around that same time, the world of rock 'n roll had Heart, which you might want to check out. The lead singer and guitarist/backup vocalist were sisters, and those two were powerhouses. Start with "Barracuda."

A brick house used to be short for a brick sh*t house! Now, dancing to this. The Commodores were part of the crossover between funk and disco, and the music was produced to be turned into extended dance cuts in the dance bars and clubs. The Commodores were also the band that Lionel Richie emerged from. Between the band and the soloists, the made a whole lot of hits. Now, in addition to them, you have several other similar bands you should check out for this danceable sound. First, Ohio Players; check out "Love Rollercoaster." Next, "Fight the Power (Parts 1 and 2)" by the Isley Brothers; they were huge for a number of years with other hits such "Who's That Lady" and "It's Your Thing." One more band to check out is The Gap Band.

In order to really appreciate this you’ll need some platform shoes, baggies, and a paisley shirt. Maybe a big Afro or some Gerry- curls. These dudes were funky

"Machine Gun". It's an instrumental by The Commodores. Speaking of instrumentals, here are a few more great instrumentals: "Rockit" by Herbie Hancock; "Outta Space" by Billy Preston; "Hocus Pocus" by Focus; "Frankenstein" by The Edgar Winter Group; "Theme from S.W.A.T." by Rhythm Heritage; "Destruction Time"(DT) by AC⚡DC; "YYZ" by Rush.

The artist I do not see getting ANYWHERE near the level of respect and reviews she deserves is DONNA SUMMER- Undisputed Queen of 70’s Disco. Toss up between “I Feel Love” the extended mix huge disco hit And “On The Radio” more of a pop ballad, for a first listen Anything from Donna Summer is fantastic 70’s vibe.
