Show #65 - Let's Get Down!
After last week's delve into East German grooves, I thought we should get back to some straight up grooves - I originally intended this show to be oriented towards early 70s funk, but I was drawn to the later disco sounds - and I even slipped in some early 80s tracks. Highlights of this show - the amazing Nina Simone which shows how to really get down, 'the vulture' by Labi Siffre, which is just about everything you could wish for in a track - huge opening break, irresistable groove.. damn! There's a pair of tracks from 1981 - Conquest, and the Whispers (who continually impress me with their 80s material). The show finishes with a sweet track from Linda Tillery on the lesbian-founded Olivia label out of LA/Oakland. Dig it!
