Funkadelic - '(Not Just) Knee Deep' (1979) - FULL VERSION! 

...remember when the DJ dropped this; if you truly loved this song you went absolutly crazy you didn't care what people thought how they looked at you or what you were t o t a l l y in the MUSIC, till this day it is the ultimate jam, these kids today i feel so sorry for them they have no clue how we rocked it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still funkier than any music played today! No one can compare to Parliament..ever!

One of the Nastiest best funk grooves of all time

Back in the day, You could almost ride around Belle Isle. (An island park just off of downtown Detroit) to the long version of this song. Good Times

phillipe wynn left the spinners for funkeldelic,loved him on this album, I was used of him sing syrupy love songs with the PLATTERS ,and the SPINNERS, However when he left and joined George, I think that caught us old school musicphiles by surprise back n 79.

Old school music is the best! Unlike today w its remix of old school. Music like this is just about the music,not about hype and ghost writers.

Im a 90s kid and I listened to this whole song without leaving. This is my jam!

7:15 to 9;45 OMG. no one CAN TOP THE TALENT ON A GUITAR DISPLAYED HERE. HANDS DOWN.. THANK YOU!!!!!

This song will never grow old. It's songs like this that helped keep the obesity rate down. Talk about partying hard, all night long. Probably burned 10,000 calories! Seriously! #NothingLikeOldSkoolMusic!!!

Rip Donny bethea this song reminds me of you.when we used to go to the discos miss you

As a trained professional musician, who grew up when they played this song during inner city house parties, where folks didn't get shot! A time when folks went out to have a good time and dance, this is without a doubt at the top of the list of the funkiest songs OF ALL TIMES! As a musician every time I listen to it, the complexities of Clinton's vocal arrangements, the genius of Bernie Worrell's musical arrangement, the serious FUNK on the One and of course Phillipe Wynn's incredible vocal vamp and the use of the cuica (what?) no conservatory needed!

Immersed in funk so deep. R.I.P. Phillippe Wynne. Big ups to Junie for really putting this jam together

When I used to dj at a club in college, whenever drink sales were slow the bartender told me to play this jam the extended version. Right after that joint, the bar was packed LOL

Ohhh Maaannn,1980,Monroe Civic Center. "WHATTA CONCERT"..!! I remember it like was ystrdy...the wild costumes, HUGE SPEAKERS, the"MOTHERSHIP"comin down on the stage,and then they brought out this HUGE SKULL,with a 20ft. "Joint" hangin in it's teeth,n GEORGE said "FIRE UP TH' FUNK"....WOWWW WHATTA, CONCERT...!!!!

My mom LOVES this song. She said that 17 different instruments were played at the same time. She said top that new school. But sadly no one can

Thank you, good burger, for introducing the younger generation to this classic jam. My friend and I actually vowed to host a party with a straitjacket dress code and play this song non stop. It'll happen someday...

OMG!!! I love this!!! My Army Brother brought this to the West Coast, from Being stationed in DC @ The Pentagon. I still love it!

LONG LIVE THE FUNK

Something about the music STILL gets into my pants....even after all these years. 🙏🏾❤️

I swear sometimes I think I was a black man in the 70s. This is some dam good music.

I play it as soon as I wake up in the morning! !!!!!;)))

This full version is where it's at! On the radio edit, you never get to hear Phillipe Wynne's voice. This is song is KING baby!!!

The chicken ain’t picking and the rooster wasn’t kicking but the music moves me it soothes me. That guitar solo is P-Funk at its Finest!!! Thank you Big Brother for introducing me to P-Funk

I still get chills when I hear that bass line. Did he say "it didn't TWERK no more" at 1:21? Uncle Jam still staying ahead of his time. Saw him in Tucson of all places 2 years ago. He killed it! Funkateers unite!

CLASSIC

I'm only 13 years old and I love the 90's music, nothing is better than the funk of the old school

Love The Spinners' Philippe Wynne's scat-singing from 9:45. "Could this be me immersed in funk so deep?"

SO many big artists were influenced just by this song alone.

FROM 12:50 ON PHILIPPE WYNN SHOWS WHY HE WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE MASTER ADD LIBBER. JUST PRODUCING WORDS WITH SOUNDS OUT OF NOWHERE RIGHT ON AND AGAINST THE BEATS AS WELL AS THE MUSIC. JUST AMAZING

1979 i was the man in the 9th grade poplocking,,breakdanceing funk of TEAR$ in the 757 driving a 1979 lincoln mark 5 and knee deep with pure bass kicking you right out your ''BED''

I hate comparing our generation music (those of us born in the 70s) to the current kids music. But it is hard not to when hearing this treasure. This is 15 mins of pure gold! This is one song and it is 35 years old and still funky and playable!

George Clinton has unique vocals that resonate. Thanks a lot for the upload.

got this album that year,Curtis Blow was next , Nu Shoes "I cant wait & Point of no return" lead the way for music I listened too debbie deb freestyle trinere & friends...good times people.

Philippe Wynne, easily one of the top three voices of soul in the seventies! Funkin it up!

used to jam to this with all the females---didn't matter if they were with someone or not (i could throw down to this song)---such happy memories...one memory i'll never forget is trying to out-do my wife (THE GREAT BMR) on the dance floor---what a night of pure joy...

FIFTEEN minutes of funk. Beat that, Whodini!

I got goosebumps jammin on my skin! Another one of those solid jams from roller skating days!

The Best 15min of FUNK Ever, Im heading back to 1979 do you want join me?????

I saw Bootsy Fall 2013 at Strathmore in Bethesda, MD and George came out later and joined him - show was off-the-chain!! Forever a Funkateer and Rubber Fan . . .

Junie originally wrote this on an acoustic piano. If you listen closely you can hear him underneath all that MASSIVE funk.

I was 17 when this was released, brought the record. And I got tired of it because my weak-ass can’t resist a goddamn 15 minute song of funk

This is the first song i have memory of brings tears to my eyes uncontrolably

Some clubs in Italy, in totaly discomusic era, on Friday and Saturday nights dedicated at least 2 hours to funky and this long version often happened, which created a great atmosphere with the right audience.

Thank you! I enjoyed this classic.

This is my FAVORITE song in the world!!!!! This is to be played at my funeral!!! the harmonizing is over!!!!!

Unquestionably, the BADDEST funk JAM of ALL TIME!!!! Everybody gets a solo and everybody TURNS IT OUT!!!! The funkiest guitar ever recorded PERIOD. If you aint sweating after that somethings wrong with you!!

My oldest brother and Clarence "Fuzzy" Haskins were classmates in school. He still has a picture of the 2 of them sitting in our mother's 1961 Chevy! The group use to store their drum set on our back porch, that's how I got into drumming by banging on theirs! Killed many brain cells at Parliament concerts in the DC area while in the service in the '70s and loved every minute! No need to worry funkateers...P-Funk will last forever!!!!

If you don't dig this, something is wrong with your life!!!

Man, why can't people at least try to make music like this nowadays?

WTFCan you say. The memories the love the joy this song has brought. Great cruising song picking up the ladies. 1979 I was Jr in high school . knee Deep was the song that pissed my mom off lol I think she heard it in her sleep.

I loved this JAM and I danced the WHOLE 15 min. + back THEN and still can NOW!! Talking 'bout getting funktified!

Beyond a classic!!!!

This has got to be one of the ultimate party jams! This studio version is not available on Rhapsody but leave it to RU-vid!! Thank you for posting the song : ).

In 1979 I was in 7th grade getting Into everything I should'nt and this jam was bumpin hard at our Jr High Dance in the cafeteria. It still bumps hard today. This is for the old school OG's

Young happy and always ready to party and get it started with the P funk bring back memories.

boy that damn George Clinton was and is a genius.....I saw him play this live and they rocked it for 30 mins.....

Brilliance in funk! Nothing short thereof. Love the background vocal arrangements. This is true groove music. Who does this today? Nobody!!

At my school dance in East St. Boogie, some of the best memories !!💞

I remember in the early 70's when Parliament and the Funkadelics rocked the shit out of the whole house. I'm in knee deep, oh yeah yeah.

De La Soul brought me here :D

This is one of the best old school jams to skate to MAN I sure miss the time in life this was popular!!!

This is what you call funk ! I was the only white guy person in my neighborhood that was into this type of music. They put out some Great tunes. Always funky !

Funkadelic for ever!!!!

1:23 the term twerk. George Clinton the originator.

I like this song. It makes me happy when I hear it. It will never be obsolete. I like the catchy rhythm and the chord play. I like the part in Good Burger when George plays the demented dancer along with Kel and the other dancers. I'm glad that I was still young when this song came out.

Man! this, what can you say Philippe Wynne the master of solo. He put it down.

I be dancing like Kel from Good Burger anytime I happen to come across this song. Classic!

Bernie Worrell killing it!

Thanks for posting the FULL version!!! My cassette's in the car, my car's in the shop.

This is what i grew up to in high school . Takes me back to the best years in my life

WVON would play the 15 minute LP version at 7 every nite. I'd be waiting.

DETROIT IN THE HOUSE BACKYARD PARTY THEM PARTY WOULD BE OFF THE HOOK AND THIS SONG WOULD COME ON AND THAT WAS IT GOT WOW FAST AND MAYBE A FIGHT NORTHEND BOYS...

This four whole songs by today’s standards!!! Straight jamming.

been funky with these brothers since the 60's you heard me!!!

THE GODFATHER OF FUNK! Classic!!!!

Love old school music

I went out Clubbing at a Teen Disco in 1979 and I remember they played this Song. It was The Jam back in The Day.

PHILLIPPE WIND WERKS THE UNDER AND OVER VOCALS R.I.P

Back then we were ONE NATION UNDER A GROVE haven't been able to figure out what these kids are talking about now, the sad part is they call it music.

I would love to see a video on this jam here!! Something about the music ya know!!!

One of those songs that makes you hit the dance floor no matter HOW high you are! You be hollering along, singing, putting on your best dances. A true Funkadelic hit.

WOW, THE ELEMENTARY AFTER SCHOOL DANCES WAS NOTHING IF THIS WAS NOT PLAYED TWO OR THREE TIMES.......I JAMMED SO HARD TO IT AT THOSE DANCES, I ALWAYS LEFT SWEATING....LOVES IT RIGHT NOW TO THIS DAY AND THATS BEEN 30 + YEARS AGO!

The 12" long play disco cuts set the stage for the next 4 decades at least

This was a time when the words and musical skills was key in making a hit....now all you have to have is some cursing, some sampled music that not many people remember, and some fine big busted women with a big ole butt to have a hit.....and Hell not even the young people know what they saying......I'll Pass!!!!!!!!!!

While growing up and learning piano I could never quite fathom where the hell did these guys get so many ideas, riffs, synth lines, bass lines, modulations....to this day I'm still awestruck...and this was late 70's....this is what we need to be playing nowadays

and when she dance she set the world on fire! remembering my starchild days!

DJ's use to play this long version back in the day when they had to go drop some logs...lol

Where R ALL MY PPLs @? OAKLAND, Y'all Ready? FEE's on her way!

That keyboard hook just kills.I find myself whistling it, all during my life.

This song brings back great memories in my childhood. I was 15 years old in the 10th grade at Arthur hill high school in Saginaw, Michigan. I will always remember knee deep 15 minutes version. Peace and love always.

Good Burger brought me here

I found a way to add this song, to my iTunes account. Whoooooo hooooo!

Long live funk! This reminds me of family in the 70's and so much of what life was like in the city back in the day.

I'm a Funkateer from back in the day! I saw George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic turn out many a concert from Oklahoma City to the countries of Germany to Switzerland and in fine tradition they gave you your money's worth! January 1993 they turned out Cincinnati, Ohio to the point the Police were at the door rocking and let them continue pass their cut off time and then they went back in the dressing room and kept jamming. George had the Brides of Funkenstein with him in Oklahoma City, Dawn Mabry and Lynne stole the show from Sir Nose Devoid of Funk. You damn right they were "TWERKIN" in 1979, where you think it came from. I first saw Funkadelic in 1972 in Frankfort, Kentucky. I didn't know who they were at the time, but I knew I wanted to see them again, especially those two mean lead guitar players Michael Hampton and Gary Shider (rip). I saw them take Funk to Heaven in 1977 in Lexington, Kentucky at Rupp Arena. Tell me they can't turn it out!

DE LA SOOOOOOOOOOOOOUL

FACT: This is one of the best songs of all time!!

This was theee jam in '79 tearing up the dance floor after school in the cafeteria (7th grade) Take me back George! "Something about the music, it got into my pants"

This Shit is Kickin ALL night/Day each & every Way........George is a FUNK God!!

I always go to the 7th minute mark, when kidd funkadelic begins to play
