Bernie Worrell on Talking Heads & Funk History (1999 In-Studio)

Описание: Step inside a rare 1999 radio archive as three Rock & Roll Hall of Famers—Bernie Worrell, Chris Frantz, and Tina Weymouth—visit Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley in-studio. This unforgettable episode captures candid conversation, deep musical history, and legendary chemistry from members of Parliament-Funkadelic, Talking Heads, and Tom Tom Club. A true time capsule of creativity, friendship, and groundbreaking music, preserved from the golden era of independent radio.

🎙️ Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley is a podcast featuring legendary and emerging funk, R&B, and Prince-associated artists. On air since 1982 and now spanning five decades, the show was personally spotlighted by Prince on his website in 2004. He also gifted us the One Nite Alone box set in 2002 — before any other media outlet.
