Greetings all.

The mix you see before you is a set I put together back in 2011 for the folks at Amen Brother (unfortunately their site seems to be offline these days).

‘Easy Mover’ is just about an hour of mid-tempo, break-heavy funk and soul, very groovy indeed of I say so myself.

See you next week.

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

Keep the faith

Larry

The cover of the unreleased collection, ‘Bobby Byrd’s Funky Farts!’

Listen/Download – Bobby Byrd – Hot Pants I’m Coming, Coming, I’m Coming MP3

Greetings all.

If you are at all attuned to the wavelength of the Godfather of Soul, you surely know Bobby Byrd (or are at least acquainted with his voice).

Byrd was, an original Famous Flame, and for years right hand/hype man to the mighty James Brown.

He also has a very respectable career of his own, working with (and sometimes without) the hand of Brown.

Today’s selection is one of Byrd’s best known solo records, and as a quick look at the label reveals, involved James Brown in multiple capacities, as songwriter, producer and even label-owner (the track was released on Brown’s Polydor custom label, Brownstone).

‘Hot Pants, I’m Coming, Coming, I’m Coming’ charted inside the R&B Top 40 in 1971, and went on to become a funk 45/crate digger staple.

Pushed along by a relentless bass and drum line (with the guitar mirroring the bass) and a pumping JBs horn chart, Bobby lays it down with no (at least vocal) help from James.

I suspect that the lack of bigger success or this single might have had to do with the airplay being curtailed by Bobby’s repeated cries of ‘I’m Coming!’ though by 1971 it may have suffered from a veritable glut of James Brown-related product on the market, especially Brown’s own ‘Hot Pants’ which came out only a few months before and was still lingering on the charts.

Either way, it’s a great single, and I hope you dig it.

See you next week.

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

Keep the faith

Larry

Aki Aleong

Listen/Download – Sam and the Soul Walkers – Soul Walk MP3

Greetings all.

I hope the new week finds you well.

Today’s selection is one of only a handful of 45s issued by the Los Angeles-based Trans-American label (well known amongst funk collectors for the Village Crusaders ‘Akiwawa’ 45).

Sam and the Soul Walkers only released this one 45 in 1969. They were led by Samuel McWhorter aka Sam Russell who recorded several sides for the Playboy label in the 1970s.

Interestingly, ‘Soul Walk’ is co-written (and produced) by singer/actor Aki Aleong, who had a varied and interesting career in Hollywood, including scoring a hit with the 1961 record ‘Tradewinds Tradewinds’.

‘Soul Walk’ is a hard-hitting funk number with solid drums and organ, and cool rhythm guitar buried in the mix.

The song (and its flipside ‘A Telephone Is Ringing’) were rerecorded by a group called the Turnarounds and released on TRC the same year (I can vouch for the fact that the versions of ‘Soul Walk’ are definitely different recordings).

If anyone knows the story behind that, please drop me a line.

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

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

Keep the faith

Larry

Noble ‘Thin Man’ Watts

Listen/Download – Noble Watts – Thingamajig MP3

Listen/Download – Noble Watts – F.L.A. MP3

Greetings all.

I hope the new week finds you well.

I picked up the record you see before you a few years ago on the strength of a friend’s recommendation.

I was familiar with the name Noble Watts (usually billed as Noble ‘Thin Man’ Watts) but didn’t really know anything about him.

Watts was an R&B saxophonist who released a string of 45s starting in the late 1950s, later moving on into a more jazz style for a series of albums in the 70s and 80s.

Today’s selection, ‘F.L.A.’ was released in 1968.

The record opens with a guitar riff lifted from Wilson Pickett’s ‘Funky Broadway’ and then manages to squeeze in quotes/references to Aretha Franklin’s ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’ and Petula Clark’s ‘Downtown’ woven into a fast-moving, funky (mostly) instrumental.

The flip side, ‘Thingamajig’ is a slower, funky instro with some cool percolating guitar running underneath the sax soloing as well as a brief drum break.

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

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

Keep the faith

Larry

Listen/Download – Sam Moultrie – Funky Jerk MP3

Greetings all.

The tune I bring you today is one of the great, meat and potatoes funk 45s.

There’s not a lot of information out there about Sam Moultrie (I couldn’t even locate a picture of him) but what there is seems to indicate that he hailed from (and recorded in) Alabama.

‘Funky Jerk’ was released on the Roulette label in 1969 and aside from a short run in the local Birmingham, AL charts, doesn’t seem to have met with much success.

This is a shame, because not only is ‘Funky Jerk’ a stone solid killer, with some gritty soul shouting by Moultrie, hard drums, and pulsing combo organ, but its flipside, ‘Promised Land’ is a great, mid-tempo number.

‘Funky Jerk’ is one of the best Wilson Pickett-inspired numbers of the era.

Moultrie would go on to record a few more 45s in the early 70s, as well as producing sides for Terry and the Deep South and Ike Strong, both for the Bama label, but after the mid-70s seems to have disappeared (at least from the music business).

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

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

Keep the faith

Larry

Flow (Don Felder, right)

Listen/Download – Flow – Line’em MP3

Greetings all.

The tune I bring you today may be the very first time anything remotely Eagles-related appeared here at Funky16Corners.

Flow, like Hack Bartholomew, was one of the very few, non-jazz artists to have a record released by the storied CTI label.

The band, including a young Don Felder – several years before he wrote ‘Hotel California’ – who had been playing in the Florida garage band scene alongside Bernie Leadon (another future Eagle) and Tom Petty among others.

The Flow album was released in 1970, as was the single of ‘Line’em’, which oddly enough only seems to have been issued in Spain.

The song is a cover of a Leadbelly tune, which was originally a work song/chant used by gandy dancers laying down railroad tracks. The group even drops in a section of another Leadbelly number – ‘Black Betty’ – which would become famous years later in a version by Ram Jam, and is a funky number, with organ, a wailing lead guitar, congas and a beefy rhythm guitar line and a great percussion breakdown in the middle of the song.

I haven’t heard the rest of the album, so I can’t say with any certainty whether ‘Line’em’ is an anomaly.

I can’t say for sure, but I suspect that the lack of success for Flow convinced Creed Taylor to stay out of the rock business.

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

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

Keep the faith

Greetings all.

The Funky16Corners 2018 Allnighter/Pledge Drive aka The Summer of Soul 2 is back!

Thanks to my work/blogging/broadcasting-addled mind, I concluded the 2018 Summer of Soul without posting a return visit from my man Chris Lujan, of the mighty M-Tet and the Dirty Dirty podcast.

Chris’s contributions to the mix series are always groovy and unique in that they weave in contemporary releases as opposed to focusing exclusively on older stuff.

To begin, some words from Chris:

I’m always a little bit hesitant posting a mix for Larry’s “All-Nighter Pledge Drive” with so many new releases in it. I figure that everyone is buying up these records and that I’ll be duplicating songs from the other contributor’s mixes. But, there’s so much great music coming out these days, I feel compelled to do so. Plus, running my own label (Lugnut Brand Records) in such great company as Funk Night, Colemine, Transistor Sound, Sunflower Soul, F Spot… I feel compelled to share the great stuff that my contemporaries are dishing out.

Larry has been a wealth of great music and information. So, I’m always pleased to deliver a mix (of course, with a healthy dose of shameless self promotion). Oh, and Larry wrote the liner notes for The M-Tet’s LP. There’s some more shameless self promotion for you.

 

So, thank you Chris, and once again my apologies for keeping this most excellent mix from you all.

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!

So, download and dig the mix, keep digging the radio shows, and we’ll be back next week with another groovy mix.

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 Vincent the Soul Chef of Fufu Stew.

A few words from the DJ:

Here we are again, and my ninth appearance for this most tremendous cause… I owe Larry more debts of gratitude than I can hold in my hands; the Fufu Radio adventure that I’ve been on for the past year… words can’t describe how proud I am to have that space, and that I can share that space with anyone and everyone. I’ll just call this mix “Pick a Hit… From the Hat”, because the 45s I present here were definitely picked at random, and pieced together in just such a way that it makes sense. To borrow from my man Mass, any sound can make music, and all words make sense. Enjoy the ride.

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.

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 Ben Gibson, of the Hit, Git and Split and the South London Soul Train.

A few words from the DJ:

As always, it’s a massive pleasure to be involved and featured here on the very awesome Funk16Corners.com!

Larry has been a long time musical mentor to me! (as I’m sure he has been to all of you as well!)

He’s hipped me to multiple 45s and groups across the years that were outside of my radar! (as my bank manager can truly attest to!) so to be able to contribute to his own ‘Summer of Soul’ mixtape series is a very minuscule way I can give something back to a site that will hopefully continue long into the future for all of us!

If you like what you hear from Larry, myself and all of the other phenomenal contributors within this series then be sure to tip a few Pound coins (or Dollars) into the online bucket to ensure this Funk & Soul institution continues well on into the future!

What you have below from me, for your aural pleasure, is just shy of 75 minutes of my current favorite spins across the two nights I resident DJ for in London, ‘The South London Soul Train’ and my very own “baby”, ‘The Hit, Git & Split’ night with DJ Eops in Hackney in East London!

I hope you enjoy listening to this mix as much as I enjoyed putting it together!

See you on the flip side!

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 MFasis.

Mfasis and I go back to the Asbury Park 45 Sessions days and there are few out there spinning that get as much of my respect for imagination and selection. Repping the far west, MFasis is always digging in the strangest places for new and interesting sounds, and every mix that he  does reveals something groovy!

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!

So, download and dig the mix, keep digging the radio shows, and we’ll be back next week with another groovy mix.

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

Keep the faith

Larry
