Greetings all.

The Funky16Corners 2018 Allnighter/Pledge Drive aka The Summer of Soul 2 has begun!

We continue this year’s Summer of Soul mix series with a new mix from my man Soultaker73.

A few words from the DJ:

“I just want to first off thank Larry for inviting me to the festivities this year.  This is my second appearance here on the Funky 16 Corners website after first doing the pledge drive back in 2015.  This is the first time in a year since I spun my records.  I hadn’t had the drive to play my records much after my mother passed away.  When Larry asked me if I wanted to participate this year, I was like it’s a good time to dust off my turntables and records for a good cause.  I always come here to the Funky 16 Corners to learn about an artist that I may not know about or to hear something I haven’t heard before.  It’s always good to have someone like Larry to share his knowledge and history on this music.  That’s why I hope everyone supports the website so we can keep this knowledge base going for years to come. 

I always say that the best medicine for dealing with the everyday grind called life, is your music that you like to play.  So with that, here’s a second dose of The Medicine.”

We will continue with a new mix every week for the duration of the summer, with a selection of stellar contributions from some of my (and your) favorite selectors including DJ Prestige, Ben Gibson, DJ Prime Mundo, DJ RP of Funkdefy, Vincent the Soul Chef, Chris Lujan of the M-Tet, DJ Bluewater, HeavySoulBrutha Dave B. and new contributor, DJ Scott Boyko and Soultaker73.

The pledging will continue this year with Patreon (click here or on the logo below to go to the Funky16Corners page) , where you will be able to spread your contributions out over the entire year, which will help cover the ongoing server/broadcast/hardware expenses. This year has seen the move to 100 percent live broadcasting (Mixlr.com/Funky16corners)  and continued hardware and software upgrades at Funky16Corners central, to keep the radio/podcasting experience as seamless and groovy as possible. So please dig deep so we can continue to do the same, and if you’re already a Patreon donor, please accept my heartfelt thanks!

In addition to all the broadcasts and the blogging all of the Funky16Corners and Iron Leg mix archives will continue.

I am also including a Paypal donation button (below) if you’d rather donate in a lump sum instead of the rolling donation in Patreon.

Don’t forget, my weekly radio show for WFMU’s Give the Drummer Radio, Testify! is on the air live, every Wednesday night from 10-12. If you dig Funky16Corners and/or Iron Leg I think you’ll dig it. So tune in when you get a chance!

With Lloyd on the Label There’s Soul on the Table!

Listen/Download – Lloyd Price Orchestra – It’s Your Thing MP3

Greetings all.

Here’s a crazy one.

Lloyd Price was of course a New Orleans R&B/soul star from 1952 when he hit with ‘Lawdy Miss Clawdy’ on into the mid-1970s (though he has continued to perform into his 80s).

Over the course of his career Price has released albums and 45s by his band, including the great ‘This is My Band’ in 1963 (featuring James Booker on organ) and a number of 45s, including today’s selection.

Price ran the Lloyd Price’s Turntable label for a few years at the end of the 1960s, releasing records by himself, the Coasters, Howard Tate and the Lloyd Price Orchestra.

What makes today’s selection unusual, is that the label says that it was recorded in Jamaica!

The record was arranged by Curley Palmer, who had played guitar with the Coasters and the production is credited to Price and Arthur Jenkins (who produced the Coasters 1969 Turntable 45).

I hve not been able to find any information that indicates how Price and his band ended up in Jamaica, or if it was really his band and not a bunch of Jamaican session musicians.

The version of the Isley Brothers ‘It’s Your Thing’ runs at a leisurely yet funky pace, with some groovy electric piano, percussion and horns.

If anyone can fill in the blanks on this one I would be much obliged.

Until next week.

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Fred Wesley

Listen/Download – Fred Wesley – Still On the Loose MP3

Greetings all.

The 45 you see before you today was a very pleasant surprise when I picked it up some years ago.

Fred Wesley was of course familiar to me (and should be to you) as the trombonist/bandleader with the JBs as well as the Funkadelic-adjacent Horny Horns.

‘Still On the Loose’, released in 1980, was from the period after Fred’s George Clinton years, when Wesley was attempting to establish himself as a bandleader under his own name.

He recorded the ‘House Party’ album for Curtom, which was at the time being distributed by RSO Records.

‘Still On the Loose’ is a mellow, yet still funky, era-specific sound with echoes of the P-Funk, with traces of disco on the edges.

Fred not only plays much ‘bone (apologies to JB) but also takes lead vocal duties (as well as producing).

The result is a dance-floor friendly number with a sing along chorus.

The ‘House Party’ album made it into the R&B Top 40, but according to Wesley’s autobiography ‘Hit Me Fred’ RSO dropped Curtom from distribution as the record was gaining steam and killed its momentum.

It’s a groovy one, and I hope you dig it.

See you all next week.

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Keep the faith

The Vibrations

Listen/Download – The Vibrations – Love In Them There Hills MP3

Greetings all.

Today’s selection is yet another chapter in the musical pipeline between Philadelphia and Chicago.

The mighty Vibrations recorded a string of Lps and 45s first for Checker, and then for Okeh between 1960 and 1968, before moving on to the Philly-based Neptune an North Bay labels in the 70s.

Group member Carl Fisher had contributed songwriting to a number of Philly records under his own name and the pseudonym ‘Del Shahr’ during the 60s, and today’s selection, ‘Love In Them There Hills’ was penned by Philly giants Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff (with help from Roland Chambers) and was released in 1968.

The song was covered a year later by Maxine Brown on Epic and then in 1974 by the Pointer Sisters on ABC/Blue Thumb.

The Vibrations version starts off with a Latin flair, before the drums and voices drop in with the funk. The production by Gamble and Huff is tight.

‘Love In Them There Hills’ was the Vibrations last hit, making nto the R&B Top 40 and the Pop Hot 100.

I hope you dig the track, and I’ll see you all next week.

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Keep the faith

Sensei Curtis

Listen/Download – Curtis Mayfield – Kung Fu MP3

Greetings all.

What Better way to east into the week than with some mellow, timely Curtis?

You all know that Curtis Mayfield was/is where it’s at, as composer, Impression, singer, guitarist and spirit of all things soulful.

Today’s selection, ‘Kung Fu’ (and you know there’s some 44 year old out there carrying the name with him) hails from the 1974 LP ‘Sweet Exorcist’, which seems to have been pieced together with some older/existing tracks and some then-current material.

No matter how or why this album was assembled, the bottom line is that it is prime, mid-70s Curtis (‘Kung Fu’ was an R&B Top 5 hit, making it into the Pop Top 40) and it has both a tasty groove, as well as a story to tell.

I have no doubt that Curtis had the strong, stoic wanderer Caine on his mind when he composed the tale of persistence in the ghetto, with a tip of the hat to the Temps ‘Papa Was a Rolling Stone’.

The groove is subdued but strong, with the bass and a stabbing organ setting the tone, with some barely perceptible strings wavering underneath.

This is the sound of the city circa 1974, with Curtis walking a razor between defiance and despair.

It is both a head-nodder and a head-shaker, and if you’re not old enough to remember the early 70s, there’s enough going wrong in the world now for you to identify with the vibe of the song.

I hope you dig it, and I’ll see you all next week.

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Keep the faith

Greetings all.

A few weeks back I was invited to bring my record box up to my man Scott Boyko’s Northern Soul night at (dig this) Northern Soul kitchen and bar in Hoboken, NJ.

I recorded almost the whole night, and what you see before you are two sets by Scott, one long set by me, and a shorter set at the end of the night where Scott and I go one-for-one trading off.

There is a grip of good music to be heard, so pull down the ones and zeroes and get hip.

See you next week.

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Keep the faith

Larry

Listen/Download – F16C for This Is Funkaholic! – Give Everybody Some 67MB/Mixed MP3

Greetings all.

This is a re-post of a mix I did for the This Is Funkaholic! Radio Show back in 2015.

‘Give Everybody Some’ is a half hour of tasty, mostly instrumental funk (you can listen to the entire show here) . There are a couple of old faves, some things that have appeared here recently, and some groovy new stuff that’ll make it here in the future.

I thought it’d be cool to post it here for those of you that weren’t able to catch it when it aired.
Until next week

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Keep the faith

Jimmy Preacher Ellis

Listen/Download – Jimmy Preacher Ellis – (C’Mon) Dance to the Drumbeat MP3

Greetings all.

The 45 I bring you today is a particularly groovy selection from the long and diverse discography of Jimmy Ellis.

Recording for a variety of labels between 1965 and well into the 2000s, Ellis, billed alternately as Jimmy/Jimmie Preacher Ellis/Ellie, Ellis got his start in Arkansas (on one of his records he gives himself a shout out as an ‘Arkansas Soul Brother!’) but seems to have done most of his recording in and around Los Angeles for labels like Kris and Round.

Most of his stuff has a bluesy edge to it, and he seems to have moved all the way over to the blues later on in his career.

Today’s selection, ‘(C’Mon) Dance to the Drumbeat’ is, thanks to the bizarre catalog numbers on the Kris label – impossible to date decisively, but my ears suggest that it is aof a late 60s vintage.

Ellis, who would go on to make some excellent, hard edged psych soul like ‘I Gotta See My Baby’, is in instrumental mode here, with (as advertised) the drummer stepping out in front.

The song opens as if it’s going into ‘Sock It To Em JB’ but gives way to a saxophone solo over a mildly funky beat. It’s only at the 2:00 mark that the drummer lets loose with a 15 second break, aided by some groovy soul clapping.

It’s not a terribly expensive 45 (I got mine on the cheap) so if you dig it, go and get yourself some.

Until next week
