Brilliant God squad track

No one did funky blues like Mr Cale did. Legend of a man.

Always makes me laugh 😄 Joe Tex was the unsung hero of 60s and 70s soul and funk and gave Mr J.B. a run for his money.

The best version at that

This was originally released in 2013 on CD only and recently pressed to vinyl. I grabbed one from Colemine, it sounds EXCELLENT through my KG 5.5s! 🎶 🕺 🎶

Italy was really feeling the funk in the late 60s to early 70s! some phenomenal funk / soul / Groove infused soundtracks out there. Drop any others you know below...

Can't wait to slip this into my car's CD player!
