"This song is incredible. I heard it on WRVU, a Vanderbilt student radio station and have to get this album. This song is the funkiest, grooviest track and the lyrics are powerful."

hehe, it's funny to put back De Roubaix's music in context: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7167l_adieu-lami-1968_shortfilms
 
I think it was underused in that movie...most of those late 60's french movies have really aged badly. OTOH, Delon often saves them because he can act.
 
This tune is so amazing:

the drum and bass sections of The Peddlers was just amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gOLkwj-zVI
 
their best song "Comin’ Home Baby" is not even on youtube..shame: http://funky16corners.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/the-peddlers-comin-home-baby/
 
it's got the funky drummer even before Stubblefield thought of it..now I need to stop listening to it in loop...I must, I really must..
 
this one is my second best from them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bOqVp2yLM0

Woohah, they've made an album w/ a philarmonic orchestra and replaced the Hammond by a Fender Rhodes: http://www.thepeddlers.co.uk/default.asp?contentid=540
 
The 2006 remastered version is as funky as can be: funky drums, thick bass and aerial distorted Rhodes...that's the magic combo to funkiness. Too bad the singer never shuts it, but luckily there's a few instrumentals.

stone cold classic:

 
this french cover's rather funny too:

just ordered this CD:

 
hard to resist: http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=fv6bt22yhg
  

 
harmonica, thick bass, hardcore breakbeats, it reminds me of Little Sonny's albums on Stax Records:

I missed this thread and at the moment I am in the mood for Funk...
 
Now Funkadelic's album "Funkadelic" is playing, on vinyl. Words cannot describe the pleasure... I shall want more Funk on vinyl and kick **s speakers. "Everybody's Got A Thing..."

currently having a blast on this thing: http://www.normanrecords.com/vinyl/112591-francois-de-roubaix-lantarctique--autres-seances-electroniques-rue-de-courcelles
 
"electronic funk"? oh yah, baby!
 
it p****** me off to no end that he died at 36 in a scuba diving accident. he might very well be my favorite musician ever, he didn't copy other ppl, he was self-trained and created his own sound. he died 1 year before I was born, that's crazy.
 
he's been a strong influence to Boards of Canada, no doubt about it.
 

 
It's a cover, but still a very good one...can't find the original tune on youtube.

oh yah, "the equatorial french fry" is really a killer funky tune:
