Song of the Day: Chuck Brown “Wind Me Up”

I’m going to keep the Chuck Brown celebration going with some live footage of the “Godfather of Go-Go”. Here he is performing at the 9:30 Club. One reason Go-Go music has been a local obsession is the intense participatory experience of the concerts, which can’t translate to albums. Here we have the classic percussion rhythms and call and response vocals that are the hallmarks of the genre that Chuck Brown created. A lot of people are missing this man today – here’s to the music going on and on!
