By 1975, Dynamite Willy & The Funk Freaks had set the funk world ablaze with their "Keepin’ The Funk Alive" series, proving time and time again that they were the gatekeepers of the groove, the masters of the movement, and the ultimate purveyors of the funk, the whole funk, and nothing but the funk. But as all great sagas must, this legendary series had to end with a bang—or rather, a sonic boom that would break the funk meter and send shockwaves across the globe. Enter "Keepin’ The Funk Alive (Finale)," a monumental, show-stopping closer that gave the world one last ride on the Funk Freak Express before the series bowed out—until the next adventure.
The Grand Funk Finale:
Known for crafting multiple versions of their songs, the "Finale" wasn’t just another track—it was the victory lap, the crowning moment of one of the most dynamic funk series ever produced. While it didn’t quite claim the top spot like some of its predecessors, "Finale" still exploded onto the charts, peaking at a mighty #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the band’s sixth straight Top Ten hit—a feat that very few in the industry could boast. This was no slouch of a track—it was a certified funk classic, a final statement that reminded the world who ruled the funk kingdom.
Sharon "Figure 8" Seville Steals the Show:
For this grand sendoff, Dynamite Willy once again took over production, but this time, he passed the mic to Sharon "Figure 8" Seville, the band’s beautiful powerhouse vocalist and "1st Lady of Funk" who was no stranger to big moments when it was her turn in the spotlight. With Willy commanding every groove, every breakdown, every eruption of funk, Sharon controlled the lead spot, delivering a soulful, electrifying vocal performance that sent chills through speakers and set dance floors on fire.
The Ultimate Funk Explosion:
As always, the Funk Freaks brought their A-game, making sure the Finale hit with full force:
Leroy Stinson’s bassline was unmatched, laying down a groove so deep, so infectious, it locked the world into one final, unshakable funk trance.
Darnell "Roach" Dawson shredded the lead guitar, lacing the track with stinging, razor-sharp funk riffs that tore through the groove like lightning.
Benjamin "Ben Ben" Harold’s crisp drum kicks kept the rhythm tight, punchy, and propulsive, making sure there wasn’t a single motionless body in the house.
The Horny Devils once again blasted through with their signature horn section, adding a brassy, triumphant exclamation point to the band’s final funk mission.
The Funk Party’s Not Over—It’s Just on Pause:
With "Finale," Dynamite Willy & The Funk Freaks proved once again that their Southern Players-style Memphis funk wasn’t just local—it was a global movement. This track became an instant staple, beloved not just by die-hard funk fans, but also used in countless dance competitions worldwide, keeping its high-energy spirit alive for generations to come.
Even though this was the final chapter in the "Keepin’ The Funk Alive" series, the band made one thing very clear—the funk never dies. It just waits for its next call to action.
A Legendary Farewell to a Legendary Series:
As the curtains closed on one of funk’s greatest musical series, "Finale" left behind a legacy that still stands strong today. The "Keepin’ The Funk Alive" series wasn’t just a collection of songs—it was a movement, a cultural shift, an undeniable force that proved that funk from the streets of Memphis could unapologetically funk up the entire world.
💥 Six straight Top Ten hits. A movement that shaped the future of funk. And a final groove that still makes the earth quake and the booties shake.💥
"Finale" was not the end of the funk—just the beginning of its next great chapter.
