Karate (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 485982) Philly Archives, 1967 — Condition: New Copy
If this is Karate, sign us up for the next marital arts class! The album's a sock-hard batch of soul tracks from the 60s – rare Philly soul work by The Emperors, one of the heaviest soul groups on the city's scene! The group have a really great sound – with a rhythm section that bubbles over with energy, grooves slapping out with a blend of organ, guitar, bass, and drums – over which the group sing in a style that reminds us almost of a harmony version of Dyke & The Blazers. The CD features all of the vocal versions of their singles – 10 tracks that include the group's classic boogaloo number "Karate" – plus "My Baby Likes To Boogaloo", "I Can't Help Myself", "Looking For My Baby", "Mumble Shing A Ling", "Karate Boogaloo", "High Heel Sneakers", "I've Got To Have Her", and "Searching". Then, the CD explodes with even more great Philly soul from Soul Exotics – the cuts "Darlin", "Nobody Could Ever Love You", "Togtherness Brings Happiness", "Baby It's True", and "Here I Am Again". Also features "Sad Girl (parts 1 & 2)" by Emperors Soul 69! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
