Dutch Rhythm Steel & Show Band took what was already a Bboy Hit “Life of the Party” by Jackson 5 and did this very, very Funky reinterpretation called “Dance, Dance, Dance”, among many other American hits the Netherlands group has covered.
It’s definitely a #dope interpretation of Jackson 5’s “Life of the Party”, but the original deserves a listen as well:
Some background on the Dutch Rhythm Steel & Show Band from Funk My Soul:
This Steel band is a twelve-piece seventies party band, consisting of Surinames and Trinidadian musicians.
Since Surinam was still part of The Netherlands in those days, the name of the band abroad was The Original Trinidad Steel Band and released two albums as such (Beautiful Caribbean and Caribbean Steel & Show on Hansa, with Frank Farian as their producer), apart from their three Dutch albums. Their most interesting Dutch album is Funky Limbo (EMI, 1978), which was produced by Ernie Anches. Anches was also involved with various other funky Surinam acts, such as Oscar Harris, The Twinkle Stars and Thunderstorm. The preceding album Dance Dance Dance (EMI, 1976) made DRSSB a lot more rare, because it contained their international hit single ‘January February’. This brought them a very busy touring schedule. Today the band is still active and consists of quite a few sons of the original members like Sticko who is the son of Dolf (Mr Satisfied) the founder of this Band.
