197302 - 60's & 70's underground funk compilation
Tracks:
FUNK-O-RAMA records compiles in this first volume of "Hard to Find" a series of songs (all of these coming from 45s searched by collectors and DJs for years) that draw a possible horizon of the American Underground Funk between 1968 (Seven Souls) and 1975 (Jade). This first compilation of FUNK-O-RAMA records checks the old school funk and its diverse mixtures with soul (Soul Partners, The Deacons.), gospel (The Brothers & Sisters), JBs style (Soul Tornadoes, Maskman, Wee Willie.), blaxploitation (Caprell's) and modern soul (Jade). This period of funk's peak and decline coincides with the last splendour (The Deacons, Big Barney, Creative Funk.) and the agony (High Voltage) of the Hammond Organ, an instrument that went out of fashion in the mid Seventies until its rebirth at the end of the Eighties. TRACK LISTING: CREATIVE FUNK "Moving World", KING SOLOMON "The Moon Walk", SOUL TORNADOES "Go For Yourself", THE SEVEN SOULS "Groove in", THE DEACONS "Sock It To Me" Vocal Version, WEE WILLIE & THE WINNERS "Get Some", BIG BARNEY "The Whole Thang" Vocal Version, BENNY SHARP & THE SHARPIES "Music (I Like It)", HIGH VOLTAGE "Here Come's The Streaker", SOUL PARTNERS "Spead", JADE "Music Slave", BLACK HAZE EXPRESS "Won't Nobody Listen", CAPRELL'S "Every Day People", MASKMAN & THE AGENTS "Stand Up" Part II, JERRY WASHINGTON "Baby, Don't Leave Me", THE BROTHERS & SISTERS "Nobody is gonna turn us 'round" Part I
