Review of The Magazine Articles
Funk me Baby...Late at Night!
This is a great doc about a great artist. Clinton is rich in history and influence in American Culture. Even if a lot of folks can't name him, they have danced (horizontally as well as vertically)to his tunes. What a great subject to pull a full out hour of fun.
Well crafted, good story telling, great music selection (is there a bad P-Funk Song! I turned up the speakers and danced around the house listening to this piece.
Now, I have to be honest. The narration and word choice is very good. Not quite to the level of some of the other producers who do this sort of thing. It's bit to serious at times when it should be more friendly and funky. Sure there are some socially relevant topics here, but this is music baby. Upswing the end of a sentence, don't draw out the last syllable.
The other thing I must suggest to the producer here in the review--so other folks producing these kinds of pieces can hear it too. Even if this is a series on your station, cut a version without reference to the piece being a part of a series. Make it a stand alone. WTMD has a 10 pm Friday slot that we showcase these kinds of shows. We pull them from a lot of sources so we can't use this piece with the reference to it being a part of series because we're not airing the series. Without that reference, I would have pressed a CD and gave it to my PD with strong recommendation.
