A classic – the JB's answer to BT Express' theme song! A biiiiig track here in Chicago, and one that still booms out of roller rinks, record stores, and the back seats of all the low riders. Stand in a record store on the south or west side, and within 15 minutes, you're bound to hear a ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
One of the last great JBs singles! The track starts with a great spoken intro, then leaps into a hard heavy cookin' instrumental groove, with a nice snapping choppy beat! Backed here by the JBs' great cover of Sly Stone's big hit, too! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
One of the rarer JBs singles on People, and one that has 2 great tracks that weren't on any of the LPs by them. "Back Stabbers" is their funky cover of the O'Jays' hit, and "JB Shout" is a good instrumental, with a stunning solo by Fred Wesley. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
One of the harder to find singles by the JBs, and a tasty two-fer of funky tracks from their Breakin Bread album! Both tracks are great, and match the JBs funky jazz sound with some cool electronics bubbling under the mix! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Killer funkiness by the JBs! The track's a bit later than their early classics – but don't let that put you off, as it's still pretty darn great, races away like a house on fire, with a very hard ripping groove! Both parts are t-a-s-t-y – and worth the two-part groove! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Two very nice funky numbers! "Makin Love" has some very hard bassy beats, with a great wah wah guitar running through, giving the cut a nice spacey feel! "Rice and Ribs" mixes choppy guitar riffs with clavinet, for a nice funky 70s groove that keeps on going all the way ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
An amazing instrumental that's one of our favorite tracks by the JBs! The cut's not like anything they ever cut – as it's got a rolling modal groove with a lot more jazz than usual, played on vamping keyboards and funky sax, riffing away at a breakneck pace that sounds like a "chase" ...

Great original People single of the best funky track off the Breakin' Bread album – and one which has been sampled a bunch. Groovy dope guitar grooves. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Two great obscure ones from the JBs! "Sportin Life" has a totally different groove than usual, with a rolling strummed guitar part, and some super-dope electric piano lines! "Dirty Harri" is a slowly chugging Hammond track, with a very nice funky vamp! Great stuff – and ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
