Show #42 - Funk with a big dose of soul.
Show #42! I recorded this show later than I usually do, and so I found myself tending towards the slower end of the spectrum... but with variety, too! Some deep grooves on here from the Ju-Par Universal Orchestra, Brook Benton brings a really chilled out vocal number, there's the great jazzy Melton Brothers' 'Living in the City', some standout soul from Mike James Kirkland & the Lovelites, and the show finishes on some quality reggae soul by Marcia Griffiths & Claudette Miller. But it's not all slow! There's the insane Polish Jazz version of 'Cissy Strut' by the Katowice Big Band, Nostalgia 77, and the worlds first rap tune, recorded by Jacques Dutronc in 1967!
