Capitol/Expansion (UK), 1977. New Copy ... $9.99
One of the greatest songs ever from the amazing Rance Allen – a set that mixes his magnificent vocals with the soaring soul talents of The Mizell Brothers! Rance and his group sounded great on earlier albums for Stax Records, but they really take off here – with riffing guitar on the ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Patti Austin —
Are We Ready For Love/Columbia/Expansion (UK), 1972. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Early solo work from Patti Austin – rare material cut for Columbia Records before her late 70s fame! "Are We Ready For Love" soars out of the gate at a level that's almost Northern Soul, but with perhaps a bit more of a righteous undercurrent – which Patti definitely picks up ...

Ethel Beatty —
I Know You Care/Uno Melodic/Expansion (UK), 1981. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A hot slice of early 80s, post-disco soul produced by Roy Ayers! On "I Know You Care", Ethyl uses a sexy, breathy, Minnie Riperton kind of approach that accents the deep thumping bass, drums and claps, and the scratchy guitar very nicely! Overall the track has a bit poppier of a sound ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Columbia/Expansion (UK), 1978/1979. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Ronnie Laws may have had the first hit version of "Always There", but Willie Bobo's is a great one too – with a slightly Latin tinge that takes the cut to a whole new level, adding in some extra percussion to make its jazz funk grooves stand up on end! "Comin Over Me" is ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Nothin' But Love ... CD Expansion (UK), 1998. Used ... Out Of Stock
Killer modern soul, from one of the masters of the genre! This set by Keni Burke features some strong compositions that rank with his good work for RCA from the early 80's, and the production, while a bit more modern, is still pretty sensitive to Keni's good smooth soul sound. Includes the ... (Soul) read more CD

Keni Burke —
Risin’ To The Top/RCA/Expansion (UK), 1982. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A massive jam from Keni Burke – easily his greatest tune ever, and the kind of track we'd hardly have imagined back when he was a little tyke in the Five Stairsteps! The track's got a thumping, stomping kind of groove that really gets going from the start – and the vocal hook is a ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Philadelphia International/Expansion (UK), 1979/1981. Near Mint- (reissue)... $9.99
Classic late Philly! "My Love Don't Come Easy" is a great mellow groover from Jean – with a totally excellent hook, and a sweet jazzy vibe that has a full, warm, rich soul feel. The flipside is a duet with Glenn Jones, which has more of an 80s popish quality, but still some nice ... (Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
De-Lite/Expansion (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $15.99
A disco dazzler from the glory days of the De-Lite Records scene – served up here by a group who really hit all the best sort of groove's you'd expect from that legendary imprint!

Philadelphia International/Expansion (UK), 1978. New Copy ... About October 1, 2018
"Ain't No Time Fa Nothing" is one of the greatest tracks ever to come out of the Philly stable, and it's certainly the best track ever that was cut by this east coast vocal group! The cut's got beautiful mellow production, a nice jazzy intro, and a sweet harmony stepper's groove all the ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Gonzalez ... CD Soul Brother/Expansion (UK), 1974. Used ... Out Of Stock
Sweet funky jazz from the 70s! Gonzalez were an obscure UK combo – probably known a lot better over in England, but pretty darn hard to find over here in America – and they've got a tight style that reminds us of some of the more well-produced jazz funk coming out on labels like Blue ...

Uno Melodic/Expansion (UK), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
A sweet little rarity from Bobbi Humphrey – a rare single cut for Roy Ayers' Uno Melodic label, and a great blend of Bobbi's jazzy style with Roy's warmly sublime groove! There's a bit more vocals than flute on the track, but that's a-ok with us – and Roy produced, while Bobbi arranged! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
