Coming up on Soulsations, we have music and conversation with Michael Cooper, founding member of the funk band Con Funk Shun. The legendary lead singer/songwriter and guitarist talks about the resurgence of the band's popularity after more than 50 years in the music industry.
Powerhouse duo Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak — together known as the Grammy-winning Silk Sonic — released a cover of the Con Funk Shun song "Love's Train" on Valentine's Day. Cooper talks about the band's elation regarding that number #1 hit, 40 years after the Con Funk Shun version.
Plus, Cooper shares stories behind their hits, new music on the horizon and one of his favorite DoubleTakes: the 1972 gem "Looking For a Pure Love" by Stevie Wonder and his very own version from his release This Heart of Mine.
