Wild Cherry, 1976: ‘Play That Funky Music’

“Play That Funky Music” was supposed to be the B-side of Wild Cherry’s tribute to The Commodores’ “I Feel Sanctified.” The owners of their record label suggested that the B-side become the A-side, upon hearing the song for their first time. The song successfully sold over two million copies, but it was unfortunately Wild Cherry’s only hit in their whole career.

 

“I Feel Sanctified”

Yeah, I feel sanctified
Yeah, I feel sanctified
Yeah, I feel sanctifiedI just left my baby’s house
And I got the strength I needed
Knowing that the beast of man
Is very hard to pleaseI’m so glad the sun is shining
To brighten up the day
Cause behind last night
I see things in a different way
Ooh yeah now!Yeah, I feel sanctified

No words could ever describe
I say Oh!, when you get that kind of loving
It’s a blessing to be aliveYeah, I feel sanctified

Knowing that the beast of man
Is very hard to please

I’m so glad the sun is shining
To brighten up the day
Cause behind last night
I see things in a different way

Yeah, I feel sanctified
Yeah, I feel sanctified

She led me to the brink of love
And no words could ever describe
Oh, when you get that kind of loving
It’s a blessing to be alive

Ooh, the sacred feeling
Just blows through my soul
Searching for sanctuary
To rested my
