Clarence Carter

Listen/Download – Clarence Carter – Take It Off Him and Put It On Me MP3

Greetings all.

I have spoken many times before about the value of keep your ears wide open and connecting with other DJs/collectors. I can scarcely recall a time when I shared the turntables with someone where I didn’t walk away with something groovy added to my want list.

Though my man Kris Holmes (formerly of the Antipodes, now a Texas transplant) and I never shared the decks, we have listened to each other’s shows, and were fortunate enough to meet up in person a while back while he was travelling here in the States.

Naturally, part of our brief time together was devoted to playing records, from our respective playboxes, and one of the records that Kris hepped me to that day is the 45 you see before you, Clarence Carter’s ‘Take It Off Him and Put It On Me’.

Recorded in Muscle Shoals in 1970, ‘Take It Off Him..’ is a great slice of hard driving, funky Southern soul, with the Clarence and the Swampers locked into the groove, and there’s even a little electric sitar thrown into the mix!

Carter’s vocal is top notch, and the arrangement, with some understated piano, very funky bass and sure shot drums is rough an ready for the dance floor.

Fortunately, unlike a couple of other things that Kris played that day, this one was an easy/cheap pull. So peel you a five spot out ya bankroll and get you a copy for your own playbox.

I hope you dig it, and I’ll see you all on Friday.

Keep the faith

Sons of Blues

Listen/Download -Sons of Blues – Sex Machine MP3

Greetings all.

I hope the new week finds you all well.

The tune I bring you today is yet another iteration of the old saw wherein a very familiar song is presented in a relatively unfamiliar setting.

I cannot recall exactly where I first heard about Billy Branch and the Sons of Blues version of James Brown’s ‘Sex Machine’, but I can tell you that I had to have it (in my never ending search for James Brown covers) and it took quite a while to track down a copy of the album it appeared on (‘Where’s My Money’) for my crates.

The Sons of Blues were a Chicago-based blues band and their album ‘Where’s my Money’ was released in 1984 on the independent blues label ‘Red Beans’.

The leader of the group (and its most consistent member) was harp player/singer (thought the vocalist on this track appears to be drummer Moses Rutues) Billy Branch who often got top billing on their records.

The Sons of Blues take on ‘Sex Machine’ is more accurately described as a medley of that song, ‘Licking Stick’ and ‘I Don’t Want Nobody To Give Me Nothing’.

Though the vibe isn’t purely funk, the band is certainly funky, with a kind of loose-limbed vibe that sounds like it probably developed out of an extended, largely improvised jam.

The band is tight, and the harmonica – largely working here as a horn section substitute – adds an interesting flavor.

The Sons of Blues maintain the call-and-response structure of the original, and the jam stretches out for close to 7 minutes.

The rest of the album is pretty much entirely era-appropriate electric blues.

As I said before, the record is fairly scarce (there’s also a CD version), but not terribly expensive when it does turn up.

I hope you dig the tune, and I’ll see you all on Wednesday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Fugi aka Ellington Jordan

Listen/Download – Fugi – Red Moon Pt1 MP3

Listen/Download – Fugi – Red Moon Pt2 MP3

Greetings all.

The record I bring you today is an especially groovy one from the intersection of Fugi (aka Ellington Jordan) and the band known as Black Merda.

Fugi and BM collaborated on a number of excellent 45s, the best known being the psychedelic soul classic ‘Mary Don’t Take Me On No bad Trip’ from 1969.

Over the course of the next few years, Fugi and Black Merda made a handful of 45s for Cadet and Grand Junction between 1969 and 1971 of which ‘Red Moon’ was the last.

‘Red Moon’ was written by Black Merda drummer/singer Tyrone Hite and Grand Junction fixture Marvin Figgins (who also penned Fugi’s 1972 ‘Sweet Sweet Lady’.

The song is driven by the rhythm guitar, with funky bass and drums, all pushed along by a great lead vocal by Fugi.

The overall vibe fall into that bag that Hendrix was stitching together in the years leading up to his death, where soul, funk and rock coexist peaceably, creating a kind of “black hippie” groove that is very cool indeed.

‘Part 2’ keeps things going with some cool lead guitar laid on top.

Black Merda recorded two albums, one for Chess and then another for Janus after Tyrone Hite had departed from the band.

Fugi’s discography is limited to a half dozen excellent 45s, all of which make you wish he’d had the opportunity to do an album.

I hope you dig the tune, and I’ll see you on Wednesday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Listen/Download -Bobby Boseman – Astrological Soul Train MP3

Greetings all.

The end of the week is upon us, and so then is the Funky16Corners Radio Show, which pops into the airwaves of the interwebs each and every Friday. You can subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on Stitcher, TuneIn and Mixcloud, check out the show on Cruising Radio in the UK, or grab yourself an MP3 right here at Funky16Corners.com

We finish out the week  – following a bunch of gospel –  with something decidedly more secular (and funky).

Bobby Boseman is one of those intriguing characters from the classic soul era.

Hailing from Texas, he originally recorded a few 45s under the name Gashead (yes, Gashead) for the Paradise label, later heading to California.

In Cali he joined up with Leon Haywood for one 45 on the Evejim label in 1970, and then recorded one last time – in a funky style – for the Tangerine/TRC imprint with ‘Astrological Soul Train’ in 1972.

The song, basically a funky, Wilson Pickett-esque party record (dig that kick drum at the beginning), combining the popular themes of astrology and ‘soul trains’, and it has the sound of a somewhat earlier side (1972 was really pushing the outer limits of when a record like this might have hit the charts).

Interestingly enough the song was written and produced by another Texan-gone-west, keyboard man Willard Burton (as in The Funky Four).

In an odd footnote, ‘Astrological Soul Train’ was later sampled by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in the song ‘Calvin’.

Unfortunately, after ‘Astrological Soul Train’, there doesn’t appear to be any evidence that Bobby Boseman ever set foot in a recording studio again.

So get down with your bad selves, and I’ll see you all on Monday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Babe Ruth

Listen/Download – Babe Ruth – The Mexican MP3

Greetings all.

The end of the week is upon us, and so then is the Funky16Corners Radio Show, which pops into the airwaves of the interwebs each and every Friday. You can subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on Stitcher, TuneIn and Mixcloud, check out the show on Cruising Radio in the UK, or grab yourself an MP3 right here at Funky16Corners.com

The tune I bring you today comes from a veer unusual source indeed, but is one of the DNA-level building blocks of dance culture and hip hop.

Babe Ruth were an English progressive rock band that released a handful of albums in the early to mid 70s for Harvest and Capitol.

They never had much a hit (on their own) and by mid-decade their odd mixture of sounds was going out of style.

That said, not long after they released the debut LP ‘First Base’ in 1972, David Mancuso, the man behind The Loft picked up on one of the album’s tracks, the uncharacteristically (for the band) funky ‘The Mexican’.

The story of the battle of the Alamo told from the viewpoint of a Mexican soldier, and – in an interesting bit of stylistic foreshadowing – interpolating a snippet of an Ennio Morricone theme, ‘The Mexican’ became a favorite of Mancuso’s and the dancers at his parties.

Flash forward a few years, and DJ Kool Herc is up in the Bronx, rocking the party, when Grandmaster Flash fell by, and as he recounted in his autobiography:

“I heard DJ Kool Herc before I ever saw him. I was two full blocks from the park jam and it was only an hour into the night, but already it was loud. Really fucking loud. I could name the tune he was playing: it was “The Mexican” by Babe Ruth. And…It…Was…Thundering…”

‘The Mexican’, from its beginnings as an English prog-rock album track, became part of the foundation of hip hop, part of Kool Herc’s ‘Merry Go Round’ breaks. It was a staple of hip hop DJs, and grew in popularity on disco playlists (it was remade by The Bombers in 1978).

In addition to being an extremely funky number (props to bassist Dave Hewitt and drummer Dick Powell) ‘The Mexican’ is a fantastic window into the Mancuso ethos, in that it is a very catchy, very danceable record brought onto his dance floor from a totally incongruous source.

Mancuso’s knack for finding records in odd genres that mixed perfectly in his sets was stellar, and the history of ‘The Mexican’ going forward from The Loft bore out his decision.

‘The Mexican’ has been sampled a bunch of times (though not as much as you’d expect for such an influential side) and was even remade in 1984 by Jellybean, with original vocalist Jennie Haan.

It is a groovy one (though there’s nothing else remotely like it on ‘First Base’), with a very cool story.

I hope you dig it, and I’ll see you all on Monday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Ike and Tina with one of the various iterations of the Ikettes

Listen/Download – Ike and Tina Turner and the Ikettes – I Want To Take You Higher MP3

Greetings all.

The end of the week is here, and so is the Funky16Corners Radio Show, which arrives each and every Friday laden with the finest in soul, funk, jazz and rare groove, all on original vinyl. You can (and should) subscribe to (and rate) the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on your mobile device with Stitcher, TuneIn or Mixcloud, or grab yourselves an MP3 right out of the Radio Show Archive right here at Funky16Corners.com.

The discography of Ike and Tina Turner is a very deep well indeed, into which we have dipped (and will continue to dip) repeatedly over the years.
During their long marriage and musical collaboration (both tempestuous) Mr and Mrs Turner made some of the heaviest R&B, soul and funk created during the 60s and 70s.

Tina had (and has) one of the great soulful wails, and Ike had remarkable musical instincts, as a composer, bandleader and producer (so remarkable that he ought to be remembered for his music as much as hs is for his reckless personal life and habits).

Today’s selection is a 45 pulled from their 1970 LP (in which the Ikettes get co-billing) ‘Come Together’, which featured a number of Ike Turner originals alongside covers of the Rolling Stones (Honky Tonk Women), the Beatles (Come Together) and the song you see before you today, Sly and the Family Stone’s ‘I Want To Take You Higher’.

Ike and Tina, having already borrowed from Sly (the riff from ‘Bold Soul Sister’ having originated in Sly’s ‘Sing a Simple Song’), return to his catalog for a straight cover.

The Ike and Tina take on ‘…Higher’ is hard-hitting, with Tina trading lines with the Ikettes, a heavy bass, wah wah guitar and a well-placed horn section.

The arrangement isn’t much of a departure from the OG, but you get to hear Tina working it out in place of Sly, and a solid guitar solo from Ike.
I was surprised to discover that this 45 was actually something of a hit, grazing the R&B Top 20 and making it into the Pop Top 40 in the Summer of 1970.

It is further testament to the heaviness of Ike and Tina, collectively and as individual giants of soul.

I hope you dig the track, and I’ll see you all on Monday.

Keep the faith

Larry

The Glass House

Listen/Download – The Glass House – Crumbs Off The Table MP3

Greetings all.

One of the first funky records I really fell in love with back in the day was Laura Lee’s epic ‘Crumbs Off the Table’, a record that still holds firm place in my all-time Top 10.

It is one of the finest productions to emerge from the house of Invictus/Hot Wax, Holland/Dozier/Holland’s amazing, post-Motown operation.

It was a few years after digging that record that I happened upon the 45 you see before you today, a version of the very same song by a group called the Glass House.

The Glass House version is not only the original recording of the song (written by H/D/H under the Ronald Dunbar/Edith Wayne psuedonyms), predating Laura Lee’s release (on the Hot Wax label) by three years. It was also the very first 45 released on Invictus after H/D/H’s break with Berry Gordy and Motown.

The Glass House was composed of Scherrie Payne (sister of Freda), Ty Hunter (who had been in the Originals) , Pearl Jones (who had recorded as Barbara Mercer) and Larry Mitchell. They were formed in 1969 and recorded two albums and a grip of 45s for Invictus between then and 1972, and during that period placed five records in or near the R&B Top 40.

‘Crumbs Off the Table’ was their biggest hit, making it into the R&B Top 10 (Pop #60) in the late Summer of 1969.

Their version of the song is very cool, edging over into funkadelic territory with some twangy guitar and a funky groove. Things are taken at a more relaxed pace than the Laura Lee version, and it has a great lead vocal by Scherrie Payne.

Of the group, only Scherrie Payne recorded extensively after their dissolution.

Edsel Records in the UK did a very nice reissue of the group’s two albums (plus bonus tracks) in 2010 and there is a solid Best Of available in iTunes.

I hope you dig the tune and I’ll see you on Friday.

Keep the faith

Up All Night With Freddy King!

Listen/Download – Freddy King – Funky MP3

Greetings all.

Freddy (Freddie) King was a blues master.

At least that’s what the title of his 1969 album said.

But King was much more than that.

If you have been a reader of the Funky16Corners blog for a while, you will have seen Freddy King’s stuff posted on the blog and played on the radio show.

He is a big fave of mine, from his influential early hits like ‘San-Ho-Zay’ and ‘Hideaway’all the way up to his Shelter Records albums.

King was, like Albert Collins, much more than a straight “blues” player, delving into R&B, soul and rock, and on today’s record, funk.

Recorded in 1969, with King Curtis’s band (the King co-wrote the song as well) augmented with cats like David ‘Fathead’ Newman, James Booker and Melvin Lastie, ‘Funky’ is a hard-charging instrumental that sounds like someone covered ‘Memphis Soul Stew’ with rocket fuel and lit it up.

The drumming by NY sessioner Norman Pride is rock solid (listen to that bass drum!) and King’s guitar is razor sharp.

King’s (who was also an outstanding singer) guitar playing was powerful, economical, and imaginative, and his influence on a generation of white (mosty English) guitar players cannot be overstated.

He even gets a namecheck in Grand Funk Railroad’s ‘We’re An American Band’!

Sadly, king passed away at the age of 42 in 1976, by all accounts having worked/partied himself to death (working 300+ dates a year and consuming more alcohol than food).

His work is pretty easy to put your hands on, on vinyl and digitally (his Federal/King, Cotillion and Shelter stuff is available in iTunes) , and if you’re not hip, you should get so, ASAP.

I hope you dig the tune, and I’ll see you all on Friday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Jackie’s back!

Listen/Download – Jackie Lee – African Boogaloo MP3

Greetings all.

Jackie Lee should be a very familiar name to those of you that hit Funky16Corners on the reg, considering how many times his sounds have appeared in this space, in mixes or on the podcast.

He was one of the truly great figures of the Los Angeles 60s soul scene, on his own, as half of Bob and Earl, and under a variety of pseudonyms.
You can brush up on his history here and here.

That all said, today’s selection is one of the very first Jackie Lee 45s that I ever popped into my crates, and it is one of his funkiest.

‘African Boo-ga-loo’ was released in 1968, and bears the fine pedigree of having been written by Earl Nelson (aka Jackie Lee himself), produced by Fred Smith (one of the signature producers on the LA scene) and arranged by James Carmichael (right up there with Fred Smith).

It was also one of his bigger hits, having grazed the R&B Top 40 in the Spring of 1968 as well as finding some regional Pop success in New York and New Orleans.

It has that patented, stylish LA sound, with a very heavy bass line, some groovy organ, sax and harmonica, and some cool female backing vocals.
Jackie is – of course – in fine shape, and he delivers the Jerry-O-esque lyrics with verve.

He would duplicate his success a few years later with the funky ‘The Chicken’ on UNI (which made a similar shot at the R&B charts and strangely enough more regional success in New York).

I hope you dig the track, and I’ll see you all on Friday.

Keep the faith

Larry
