Richie Havens - The Great Blind Degree (LP)
Stormy Forest SFS 6010, 1971 United States You could claim this is not the right section for a Ritchie Havens album as the guy records more on a political folk rock note but What About Me and Teach Your Children has got plenty of soul so it will qualify. Great...

Johnny Guitar Watson - That's What Time.. (LP)
A&M AMLH 64880 , 1981 Netherlands Obviously by '81 the sound is different and with Michael Zager producing you can expect a pinch of disco to his funk but still a very useful recording by the bluesman. Check a piece of Go For It to feel the direction.

Wilson Pickett - Mr. Magic Man (LP)
RCA LSP-4858, 1973 United States One, if not the best Wilson Pickett recording for RCA. The Bobby Eli penned title track is great and on Sin Was The Blame or I Sho Love You he sounds close to the heydays of '66/'67. US original in gatefold cover, stu...

Please - Please (LP)
Telefunken 6.22234, 1975 Germany Monster Filipino funk by Roy Davis and mates residing and recording in Germany. This debut to me is much better than their follow up Manilla Thriller. Some real bangers on here like their cover of Sing A Simple Song a...

Doug Clark And The Hot Nuts - On Campus (LP)
Gross 102, 1963 United States Novelty funk by Doug Clark touring colleges around the states. The group famously mixed jazz and funk with lyrics on a rather perverted note. Two upbeat instrumentals on here to go for. VG(+) copy with moderate groove...
