  • Οι Ρηπλ ήταν φάνκυ συγκρότημα της δεκαετίας του '70. Προέρχονται δε, εκ του Μίσιγκαν. Το μεγαλύτερό τους χιτ ήταν το "I dont' know what is it but it sure is funky". Εργάστηκαν για την δισκογραφική εταιρία Τζι Αρ Σι. Το στυλ τους υπήρξε μια μίξη των επιμέρους στυλ της εποχής, άλλoτε θυμίζοντας Κουλ αντ δα Γκανγκ, άλλωτε Στίβι Ουόντερ. Αποτελείτω από τους: Κηθ Σάμιουελς - κιθάρα, τραγούδι Σάημον Κένεθ Κάρτερ - μπάσο, τραγούδι Μπράηαν Σέρερ - τύμπανα, κρουστά Ουώλτερ (Ουώλυ) Κάρτερ - κόνγκα, κρουστά, τραγούδι Ντεηβ Φέργκιουσον - τρομπέτα, φλούγκλελ, κρουστά (el)
