Sexy is right! Hank may have been a half-pint wonder, but he had a voice that was like no other – high and raspy, but with a fierce growl that made you instantly take notice. Plus, his thuggish aproach to vocals really put a bit into the vicious R&B tunes that he cut with The ... read more CD

Shuggie Otis —
Inspiration Information ... CD Epic/Luaka Bop, 1974. Used ... $8.99
An insanely wonderful album! Shuggie Otis is the son of Johnny Otis – the LA R&B maestro who was moving heavily into funk at the end of the 60s – and he has this tripped out, super-dope guitar style that he played to strong effect on Johnny's albums of the late 60s and early 70s, ... read more CD

Parliament Live – P Funk Earth Tour ... CD Casablanca, 1977. Used ... $6.99
Although these days, Parliament's best remembered for their classic studio albums, back in the 70s, the real P-Funk experience was the incredible live shows served up by George Clinton and the group! George, Bootsy, and the rest were undeniably at the top of their game at the time – rolling ... read more CD

Freda Payne —
Band Of Gold ... CD Invictus/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... $10.99 14.99
A landmark album from Freda Payne! Freda had been knocking around a bit as a more jazz-oriented singer, and had cut one album for Impulse and one for MGM before this one – but when she hooked up with the hitmaking Holland-Dozier-Holland team for this record, her career really went over the ... read more CD
Phillip & Lloyd (Blues Busters) —
You've Got To Keep On Moving ... CD Konduko/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1978. New Copy ... $18.99 23.99
The second US album by the team of Phillip & Lloyd – much more in the Miami soul mode than their first record, cut for the Konduko subsidiary of TK with a feel that's almost Caribbean disco! The style's still got some traces of the duo's reggae roots, but the production's also more ... read more CD
Esther Phillips —
You've Come A Long Way Baby/Mercury/Soulmusic.com (UK), 1977/1978. Used ... $24.99

Pointer Sisters —
Pointer Sisters ... CD Blue Thumb/Universal, 1973. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The fantastic debut of The Pointer Sisters – an album that's a lot deeper than most of their crossover pop from years to come!

David Porter —
Into A Real Thing (with bonus tracks) ... CD Enterprise/Stax (UK), 1970. New Copy ... $11.99 18.99
A definite real thing from the mighty David Porter – one of his killer solo albums for Stax Records, after splitting his partnership with Isaac Hayes at the end of the 60s – and a record that really matches some of Ike's classic solo sets for sheer ambition and power! Porter's approach ... read more CD
Prince —
Black Album ... CD Prince, 1987. Used ... $34.99
Recorded in 1987, but never officially released until 1994, when Prince was trying to get out of his Warners contract. Prince's attempt to return to his more funky side after flirting with more straight pop songs was a Holy Grail amongst collectors for a time, and though we don't like it as much ... read more CD

African Queens (with bonus tracks) ... CD Marlin/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... $14.99 19.99
