Fans Flock to '70s Summer Funkfest
The Charles County Commissioners recently declared September 21, 2008,
“Summer Funkfest Day” in the County by presenting a proclamation of merit to the
world-famous Ohio Players (“Love Rollercoaster,” “Fire”) in celebration of their 50
years in the music industry.
Proclamations were also presented to music icons Kool & The Gang, The
SOS Band, and Harold Melvin's Blue Notes.
The Summer Funkfest, held at Regency Stadium in Waldorf, featured more
than six hours of '70s funk and soul music.
