Two classic hard funky slammers from Andre Williams! "Do the Popcorn" is an unbelievable non-stop cut, with jangling guitars in chorus all the way through – and Andre speaking in a raspy sexy voice, while a funky female chorus chimes in from time to time. Oh, and did we mention ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Chess Group sleeve, with a small tear in the die-cut.)
Wild wild early work from Andre! "Just Because Of A Kiss" has a weird foghorn vocal at the beginning – then slowly steps into one of the strangest piano parts you'll ever hear, augmented by great vocals from Andre and the group. "Bacon Fat" is a wonderful vamping tune ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Bobby Williams' classic hard funky soul cut from the early 70's! The track's a killer all the way through – with Bobby shouting "Funky Superfly" in a tone that would make James Brown back into a corner – and the band ripping away in a hard, heavy, very tight groove! A ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
2 great tunes from Johnny Williams – an obscure Tyrone Davis-like singer who recorded briefly for Gamble & Huff at the beginning of the 70s, but never cut a full LP. Johnny's got a great voice – a bit rough, but matched here with smooth arrangements, in a style that's almost a 70s ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Philly International sleeve, with some numbers written in pen. Includes jukebox strips.)
Funky funky Philly! Not only is this single one of the most obscure on Philadelphia International, it's also one of the hardest – as Johnny sounds more like a Memphis or Macon soul singer than anyone who ever recorded in the city of Brotherly Love. "Slow Motion" begins with ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Great obscure track from Chicago! The intro's got a super deep hard bass bit, arranged by Richard Evans, and is very deep and just right for sampling. Then, it leaps into some beautiful soulful vocals from Joyce, and grooves the whole way through! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
2 of Bill's best cuts from the early 70s – one a stone-cold hit that still sounds great, the other a nice little composition that was covered by many other artists at the time! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Wonderful early work from Bobby! His voice is raw, warm, and raspy – and the groove is sweet and mellow, but with a nice edge, thanks to Bobby's guitar! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Ban —
Love Land/Sorry Charlie ... 7-inch Warner, 1969. Very Good- ...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the biggest singles by Charles Wright – and backed with a nice b-side! "Love Land" is a great loping vocal soul cut – a lot sweeter than your average cut by the Watts Rhythm Band, but very catchy and very nice, too! "Sorry Charlie" is an instrumental – ...

Two nice sides of mellow soul. "Pretty Little Disco Baby" isn't disco at all, and instead has a groove that's similar to the Moments' "Sexy Mama". "One Night Love Affair" is a laid back ballad. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Two great tracks from a legendary 70s Japanese vocal album – back to back on a limited 45! "Speak Low" is the old jazz standard, but given a great modal swing by the trio of pianist Yuji Ohno – an artist you'll know for his own groovy material – changing up the groove ...

A lesser-known groover by Young-Holt – but a great one! "Doin The Thing" begins with this incredible bass part from Eldee Young – rolling, pounding, and echoing with a soulful beat that gets you going long before the drums even kick in! "The Beat" is a cover of ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
2 obscure numbers from Young Holt – both pretty darn nice! "Soulful Samba" has a bit of Latin and a bit of bossa – grooving along with a jaunty finish that brings new life to their Chicago-styled soul jazz sound. "Horoscope" is even better – heavy piano with ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Young Holt take on the Johnny Taylor classic "Who's Making Love" – sorting it out into a tight instrumental, with lots of sock-hard piano lines upfront! "Just Ain't Got No Love" is more in the group's standard mode – a loping Chi-soul tune, written by Eugene Record, ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
One of the coolest cuts ever from Tommy Youngblood – a groove that's got this deep horn down in the bassline, which seems to darken the whole tune in a really great way – and bring out a fantastic raw quality in Tommy's vocals! "Nobody But Me" is another great tune – ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
