As for lead talker, there is only Funk or Benny, period. Funk is the standard bearer cause his vocal style is what everybody imitated and Benny was the Cab Calloway of Go-Go, he was a for real Bandleader. Benny wanted outfits and choreographed moves and precision. God Bless all the Go-Go bands of my youth because they are part of the soundtrack of my life from 12 years old til 45 now. They are part of us and we are part of them...

Now I'll be the 1st to admit that many of the early Go-Go Bands had excellent conga players, it just so happened that Jungle Boogie & Mickey both played for the most popular bands in the city. (RE & Ayre Rayde) Brothers and sisters, listen to other old-school conga players like Rock Steady, Skin Tight, Foxy Brown, Spanky, Walker Redds, and you will notice each drew from each other but had their own unique pockets.

If you from a certain era, then you gonna go with what you were raised on. I know that Mickey is a great percussionist, I know that Mickey played both congas and rolling toms so he did what both Boogie and David did by himself and not taking anything from Mickey or Foxy or Heartbeat or Steady or Walker or none of those great players, but in my heart, Boogie is my dude. He was the first I heard and the first I saw live and he is just who I think of first when the subject comes up.

And even after I saw Fox at the Coliseum with the white gloves on and they turned out the lights and Foxy was getting busy and all you could see was his hands like glowing in the dark, even after that incredible performance, Boogie still my dude just like Sugarfoot Rick is my drummer even though JuJu is a monster and Footz had that pocket. And ain't nobody f'n with T-I-N-O on the guitar (respect to Whiteboy). Horns is hard too but I'll take DC on sax any day and Funky Ned/Sugar Bear is a tie.

I wouldn't necessarily say that Rare Essence set the standard. Let's go back to the years between 1979 and 1981 and you'll see that many bands drew from each other. Rare Essence was mainly a cover-band (79-80) until bands like Trouble Funk, EU, Chance, AM/FM, and Redds & The Boys created their own grooves, pockets and eventually writing original songs. If anyone should be remembered as an innovator it's Mark "Godfather" Lawson who wrote for both Ayre Rayde and Rare Essence.

I have to disagree with you Never83! I honestly felt that Jungle Boogie, Rock Steady, and Skin Tight (Petworth) held much better pockets than Go-Go Mickey during the same era. I even have debates with friends that Go-Go Spanky from Class had faster hands than Smoke.

Man whatever. Grandmaster Melle Mel is credited with being the progenitor of the rapping style that people borrowed from heavily through the early 80s, then Rakim came along and took it to another level - but you never hear people talking about Melle Mel is the greatest emcee ever. Respect Ty for being credited with essentially creating the pocket, but he is nowhere near Mickey's level. Mickey in 1989 is completely different than Mickey in 1996, for example.
