Cliff Nobles

Listen/Download – Cliff Nobles – Love Is Alright MP3

Greetings all.

The track I bring you this week is one of those 45s that is probably in 99% of every soul collection, yet I wonder how many people have flipped it over to play this side.

The flipside, ‘The Horse’ by Cliff Nobles and Co was one of the biggest hits of 1968, hugely influential, spawning dozens of ‘horse’ and horse-related records and making its way into the repertoire of every hip marching band in the land.

That said, today’s selection, the vocal version of the tune – retitled as ‘Love Is Alright’ is a bit of funky genius, and in a lot of ways is my preferred side of the record.

I always thought it was deely ironic that a vocalist like Cliff Nobles had his biggest hit on a record where his voice does not appear, and a look at the charts would suggest that almost nobody (except the New Orleans station WYLD) thought to flip the record over and play the ‘Love Is Alright’.
This is a damn shame because Nobles’ vocal is right tight and outtasight.

His discography (before and after ‘The Horse’) is fairly brief, and his only other chart success was a minor regional hit with ‘The More I Do For You Baby’ few months before ‘The Horse’ broke.

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

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

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

Keep the faith

Listen/Download – The Soul Set – Mickey’s Funky Monkey MP3

Listen/Download – The Soul Set – Flunky Flunky MP3

Greetings all.

The end of the week is upon us, and so it’s Funky16Corners Radio Show time again. The podcast comes to you each and every Friday with the best in soul, funk, jazz and rare groove, all on original vinyl. You can subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on your mobile device via the Stitcher and TuneIn apps, check it out on Mixcloud, or grab yourself an MP3 right here at Funky16Corners.com

Today’s selection is one of those records that has been stewing in my crates since forever, picked up in my broad sweep of everything Philadelphical back in the day.

I remember grabbing this out of certain cigar smoke stained vinyl treasure trove withing the Philly city limits, along with a grip of funk and Northern Soul things, mainly on the strength of the title, and the fact that it had Philly music names (Frank Virtue and Bernie Binnick) on it.

When I got it home I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that in addition to the funky version of the Miracles ‘Mickey’s Monkey’, there was a groovy organ instro version (Flunky Flunky) on the flip.

I know nothing at all about the Soul Set, other than the fact that they probably had no relation to the Jersey Shore unit (that secorded for Selsom and Johnson).

BB was a Philadelphia imprint that released a bunch of 45s in the mid-to-late 60s including two by the Soul Set, one by Guy Maurice (who also recorded for Fairmount), and discs by Frantic Freddy, the Centurys and (dig this name) Ernie Fields and Cockroach.

The group’s version of ‘Mickey’s Monkey’ is groovy, with lots of dance floor punch.

The organ instro version ‘Flunky Flunky’ is also excellent, with lots of overmodulated Hammond sailing over the pounding drums.

Interestingly, ‘Mickey’s Funky Monkey’ charted in a bunch of Philly-area markets in the summer of 1967 (their earlier 45 had some minor regional success as well.

If anyone out there knows who was in this band, please let me know.

That said, I hope you dig the 45, and I’ll see you all on Monday.

Keep the faith

Dig that crazy label design!

Listen/Download – The Grand Prees – Jungle Fever MP3

Greetings all.

It occurred to me, since it was Monday and all, and most of the world is dragging themselves to work or school, that I might whip something a little crazy on you to help get you moving.

Not too long ago I was perusing a sales list and I happened upon the disc you see before you today. Since I am constitutionally unable to pass by a record entitled ‘Jungle Fever’, I clicked on the link, listened to the sample, and knew I had to grab it for my crates.

The Grand Prees (with alternating lead vocalist – Douglass Pettijohn on this side) only ever recorded one 45, which was released twice, first on Candi (in 1961), and then again on the much cooler looking Golden Grooves imprint (in 1962).

These labels (and the Barvis label) were both the work of one JJ Chavis, who operated out of Wilmington, Delaware in the early to mid 60s recording Philadelphia-area R&B, soul and gospel 45s.

Opening with a very Chips/Rubber Biscuit-like doo-wop vocalization (Mr Pettijohn I presume?), a high female voice, organ and guitar drop in, and grooviness ensues.

The whole thing is rough (not Plookie McCline ‘Gorilla Walk’ rough, but pretty rough) with the lead vocal straying off-key, and the backing, especially the male voice and the organ, verily reeks of inspiration, as in ‘these people will never be this good, on anything else again’.

Chavis worked a lot with gospel groups, and ‘Jungle Fever’ sounds like a bunch of gospel records fell on the floor and were pieced back together by someone that was good and lit.

The organist especially, sounds like someone shackled to the amen corner that was yearning to let his (or her) freak flag fly.

The flip side is your basic, yearning ballad, without much to recommend it.

That said, ‘Jungle Fever’ is worth repeat plays.

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

Keep the faith

Larry

Al Thomas solo, and with the Sweet Delights

Listen/Download – Al Thomas – I Had a Good Thing (But I Blew It) MP3

Listen/Download – Al Thomas Ork – Cornbread and Molasses MP3

Greetings all.

The end of the week is here, so I will beseech you once again to tune in to the Funky16Corners Radio Show. You can subscribe to the show as podcast in iTunes (maybe review and rate it while you’re there?), listen on your mobile device via the TuneIn app, check it out on Mixcloud, or grab an MP3 right here at the blog.

We’re going to close out the week with a groovy Philly 45 that I’ve had in my crates for years but only just recently made a discovery about.

I picked up the Al Thomas Ork 45 ‘Cornbread and Molasses’ after hearing it in a mix back in the day. I was already buying up any Philly soul and funk I could get my hands on, especially anything on the Virtue label.

My assumption at the time was that Al Thomas was the same cat as ‘Big Al T’ who did the two-sided instrumental funk 45 of ’25 Miles’ b/w ‘Do the Slide’ which I already had.

So – as is often the case – I didn’t really dig into the flipside, the vocal version of the song ‘I Had a Good Thing (But I Blew It)’ until years later.

When I did, with my aptitude and taste for sweet soul more highly developed, it really made a mark. It has that groovy, slightly funky, late 60s (1968) vibe that you heard a lot coming out of Philadelphia, Chicago and Detroit.

So I started digging around, looking for information on the participants and I discovered some interesting things.

First off, ‘Al Thomas’ was in fact Albert Thomas Byrd. Secondly, Al Thomas was the sole male member of the Sweet Delights, who made an excellent 45 for Atco ‘Baby Be Mine’ that same year.

As it turns out, ‘I Had a Good Thing (But I Blew It)’ is in fact the Sweet Delights. It should have been their second 45, but someone decided that they’d be better off marketing it as a solo single by Thomas/Byrd.

Unfortunately, neither 45 seems to have made a dent either inside or outside of Philadelphia, though the funky, instrumental side of the Sweet Delights ATCO 45, ‘Paul’s Midnight Ride’, credited to the Delights Orchestra got some regional airplay in the Midwest and the South.

It’s an excellent 45, and I hope you dig it.

See you all on Monday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Clockwise from top left: Thom Bell, Bobby Martin, Sam, Erv & Tom

Listen/Download – Fabulous Emotions – Number One Fool MP3

Listen/Download – Fabulous Emotions – Funky Chicken MP3

Greetings all.

The end of the week is upon us, so I will remind you all to dig into the Funky16Corners Radio Show podcast, which drops each and every Friday with the best in soul, funk, jazz and rare groove, all on original vinyl. You can subscribe to the show in iTunes, listen on TuneIn, Mixcloud or grab an MP3 right here at the blog.

The tunes we end the week with compose both sides of one of my favorite Philadelphia 45s, and part of an interesting story as well.

I first picked up the local, Nico release of the Fabulous Emotions ‘Number One Fool’ b/w ‘Funky Chicken’ more than ten years ago from my buddy Haim.

The a-side is a hard charging number with a following on Northern Soul dance floors. Produced by Philly mainstays Bobby Martin and Thom Bell (with writing credited to an otherwise unknown ‘F. Hill’, but more on that in a minute), ‘Number One Fool’, is a really well produced, prefect representation of the late 60s Philly sound.

The flip, ‘Funky Chicken’ is merely an instrumental dub of ‘Number One Fool’, but this time is credited to Martin and Bell! It was actually a minor local hit, charting on two different Philly stations, WDAS and WHAT (home of the Mighty Burner Sonny Hopson, Make no mistake-a Jake-a!).

The story takes an interesting turn when the track was released again on the Tamboo label, then recycled/reissued yet again (also on Tamboo) this time credited to the NY Jets!?!

Check out this old Funky16Corners web zine article where I go into detail on the multiple releases, but I will say that the 45 picked up a new track in its last version, this time with writing and singing by Sam, Erv and Tom of ‘Soul Teacher’ fame!

All versions of this record are excellent, as well as fairly hard to put your hands on these days. It is highly recommended that you grab one for your playbox should you encounter one in the field.

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

Keep the faith

Larry

Little Joe Cook

Listen/Download -Little Joe Cook and the Thrillers – Funky Hump MP3

Greetings all.

The end of the week is near so I will remind you once again to check out the Funky16Corners Radio Show, which drops each and every Friday with the best in funk, soul, jazz and rare groove, all on original vinyl. You can subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on your mobile device via the TuneIn app, check it out on Mixcloud or grab yourself an MP3 right here at Funky16Corners.com.

Today’s selection is by another one of those groups with roots that lead back into the early days of R&B and doowop.

Little Joe Cook was a Philly-based singer who got his start in gospel in the 1940s, moving into secular music and forming the Thrillers in the early 50s. Little Joe Cook and the Thrillers went on to have R&B hits for Okeh with ‘Let’s Do the Slop’ in 1956 and then their biggest hit ‘Peanuts’ in 1957.

Cook also managed his daughter’s group the Sherrys who had a hit with ‘Pop Pop Pop-Pie’ in 1962.

The Thrillers continued to release 45s for labels like 20th Century, Reprise, Fury and Loma through the 60s.

I haven’t been able to date today’s selection definitively but it sounds like it would fall nicely sometime between 1969 and 1971. Released on the Philadelphia-based Soultown label (and as far as I can tell their only release) ‘Funky Hump’ sees Little Joe Cook and the Thrillers getting funky (of course…). The tune has a very groovy rhythm guitar figure repeated through the song, with a cool dance craze lyric delivered by Cook.

Cook retired in 2007 and passed away in 2014 at the age of 91.

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

Keep the faith

Larry

Sonny Ross and a Euro Picture Sleeve for ‘Alakazam’

Listen/Download – Sonny Ross – Alakazam MP3

Greetings all.

Every once in a while, no matter how deep your crates, or how jaded you’ve become, a record comes along from out of nowhere and knocks you right on your ass. One of those 45s that explodes from confounding obscurity, a hit, fully formed, that just never happened.

I forget exactly where I first heard Sonny Ross’s ‘Alakazam’, but it just blew me away. I couldn’t believe that I’d never heard it, or that it hadn’t been a hit when it was released in 1971.

Opening with what sounds like an overmodulated kick drum, and then vibes accents, the snare and some fantastic fuzz guitar (how has this not been sampled?) come in with the main riff. Ross then comes in with a raspy voice, just this side of Teddy Pendergrass.

I haven’t been able to find out much about Ross. He appears to have been from Philadelphia and was a member of a mid-60s incarnation of the Flamingos alongside Eddie Edgehill who was connected to the Sweet Delights/Delights Orchestra, and was brought to Event Records in a licensing deal by Philly singer/songwriter George Tindley (who co-wrote the song).

Why ‘Alakazam’ failed to break through in 1971 is a mystery. It is a great song/record, well produced and arranged and on a major label. Whether it just didn’t get into the right hands, or there were some other forces at work, I cannot say.

Aside from two Midwestern markets (Cleveland and Wichita) it didn’t make a dent (though it did get released in the UK on Mojo, and on Polydor in Germany the following year).

And so, it languished in obscurity, the province of some of your hipper UK collectors (Northern, Funk and Modern) and DJs, waiting to be rediscovered.

It isn’t a terribly expensive record – the highest price I can find is just over 50USD – but it is hard to put your hands on. I had it as a saved search for a long time before a copy surfaced, so keep your eyes peeled if you want to add it to your playbox.

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

Keep the faith

Larry

The Stylistics

Listen/Download – The Stylistics – Let the Junkie Bust the Pusher MP3

Greetings all.

I don’t know about you, but I could use a pick me up.

What better way to get picked up, than a little energetic, funky soul.

This particular 45 is very groovy, and especially interesting because it is a stylistic (no pun intended) departure for the (here it comes…) Stylistics.

Known best for their big hits like ‘You Are Everything’ and ‘People Make the World Go Round’, the Stylistics shot out of the gate in 1970 with this number affixed to the B-side of their first 45 (and first chart entry) ‘You’re a Big Girl Now’.

Written by Marty Bryant and Robert Douglas, ‘Let the Junkie Bust the Pusher’ is a fast-moving, decidedly un-Stylistic, topical soul side that sounds like it could have been lifted from a Blaxploitation soundtrack of the time.

Originally released on the local Philadelphia label Sebring, it got the group picked up for national distribution by Avco, where they would hook up with Thom Bell and Linda Creed, who would write so many of their biggest hits.

The drums are especially heavy here, and you get lots of group harmony, as well as Temptations-like solo shots by members of the group.

This particular song remains a 45-only cut, not making it onto the Stylistics debut LP.

It’s very cool, as well as cheap as chips, so go out and get you some.

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

Keep the faith

Larry

Listen/Download – The Magistrates feat. Jean Hillary – After the Fox MP3

Greetings all.

I hope the middle of the week finds you well.

The tune I bring you today is one of those groovy 45s that sought to surf the wave of a musical trend, in this case the tsunami of ‘Horse’ records in 1968 (see here*) spawned by Cliff Nobles and Company.

The interesting thing is that the group in question, a studio assemblage called the ‘Magistrates’ had already had a hit, earlier in 1968 doing (much more successfully) the same thing, except with the ‘Here Comes the Judge’ fad (which you can read all about in the old Funky16Corners web zine).

The Magistrates were two members of the Dovells, Jerry Gross (who also worked with a bunch of Philly acts as a songwriter, producer and arranger), Mike Freda, and a vocalist named Jeannie Yost, working under the name ‘Jean Hillary’.

‘Here Comes the Judge’ was a minor national hit in May of 1968, and a big single in Philadelphia.

They followed it with ‘After the Fox’ ( a very thinly disguised attempt at a ‘Horse’ number) in August of that year, but only really got any play locally.

The resulting number is a funky dancer, with a guitar line and bridge that get as close to Cliff Nobles as possible without being an outright rip, as well as a wailing vocal by Yost/Hillary.

There’s enough meat on the record that it manages to transcend the ‘novelty’ label.

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

See you on Friday.

Keep the faith

Larry

*Oddly enough, when that piece was written 15 years ago, I hadn’t yet picked up the Magistrates 45, so it isn’t mentioned!

The Common Pleas

Listen/Download – The Common Pleas – The Funky Judge MP3

Greetings all.

The end of the week is here, and so I will tell you once again that you should be digging into the Funky16Corners Radio Show podcast, bringing you the finest in funk, soul, jazz and rare groove, all on original vinyl, this and every Friday. You can subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on your mobile device via the TuneIn app, check it out on Mixcloud, or grab and MP3 right here at the blog.

We close out the week with the funk side of one of my all-time favorite Philadelphia 45s, ‘Funky Judge’ by the Common Pleas.

Backed with the remarkable sweet soul of ‘I Wanted More’, this 45 has had a secure home in my crates for decades.
It was only recently (the record having been a complete mystery to me before that) that I learned that the Common Pleas were a bunch of white guys!

Getting their start with a Phily doo wop group called the Illusions, the Common Pleas (led by guitarist Fred Jones) recorded one 45 for Crimson (also home to the Soul Survivors and the Brothers Two) and were apparently a pretty big draw as a live band in Philadelphia and South Jersey.

‘Funky Judge’, released in 1968 is part of the who ‘Here Comes the Judge Craze’, which spawned a grip of funk and soul records, with no less than three (Common Pleas, Cliff Nobles and Co and the Magistrates) coming out of Philadelphia.

‘Funky Judge’ is what I like to call a “shout-out” record, with the band namechecking and in some instances imitating the stars of the day, including Arthur Conley, Sly and the Family Stone, Sam and Dave, James Brown, Wilson Pickett and others.

There’s lots of soul clapping as well as heavy drums, bass and guitar.

It is a killer, a big fave of mine, so I hope you dig it too.

See you on Monday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Listen/Download The Moods – King Hustler

Greetings all

Welcome to the middle of the week.

The tune I bring you today is a very funky number by some Volcanos in transition.

At some point after they recorded their Harthon 45s (the one with the funky b-sides), and the departure of Gene Faith to go solo, but before they would emerge as the Trammps, the gentlemen of the Volcanos would record two (and a half) 45s as the Moods.

What information I have been able to find seems to place the 45s in question around 1970.

The group released three 45s.

The first – ‘Rainmaker’ b/w ‘Lady Rain’ came out on Wand in 1970.

The one you see before you today, ‘King Hustler’ b/w ‘Hustling’ was released on the local Philly label (maybe one-off) Reddog that same year.

The third – on Scepter – re-used ‘King Hustler’ on the a-side, placing it with a new flipside, ‘With a Woman’.

‘King Hustler’ is a great, hard-edged, Blaxploitation groover that is reminiscent of some of the heavier things the Temptations were laying down around the same time.

The song – co-written by Sherman Marshall and Len Barry – features lyrics that reference Philadelphia’s famous South Street, and going to see ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ at the movies (!?).

The group would reconvene as the Trammps two years later.

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

Keep the faith

Larry

Euro P/S for ‘Wan-Tu-Wah-Zuree’

Listen/Download George Tindley – Wan-Tu-Wah-Zuree

Greetings all

The end of the week is rolling in, and so is the Funky16Corners Radio Show, coming to you this and every Friday night at 9PM on Viva Radio. If you can’t be there at airti,e you can always stay abreast of the best in funk, soul, jazz and rare groove (all on original vinyl) by subscribing to the show as a podcast in iTunes or by grabbing an MP3 here at the blog.

Today’s selection is one of those records that I scooped up in an early Philly soul dragnet.

If you take one look at the label for George Tindley’s ‘Wan-Tu-Wah-Zuree’ it sends up a variety of Philadelphia-identifying red flags, most especially the names of Bobby Eli, Len Barry and John Madara.

When I first picked up the 45, I had no idea who George Tindley was.

As it turns out, he had a long and interesting performing history, which ended in 1970 with the release of this 45.

Tindley was a Philadelphia-area singer who got his start in the early 50s with the Dreams, a group that recorded several sides for the Savoy label in 1954.

He eventually joined Steve Gibson and the Red Caps, with whom he recorded a number of well-remembered doowop 45s in 1959 and 1960, before Tindley took over leadership duties (changing the group name to the Modern Red Caps), continuing on into 1966.

He eventually recorded three solo 45s for Wand in 1969 and 1970, all with Madara. One of them, ‘So Help Me Woman’ co-written by a young Daryl Hall.

His excellent cover of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Ain’t That Peculiar’ made it into the R&B Top 40 in  the summer of 1969, with this record just missing that mark  in the Spring of the following year.

‘Wan-Tu-Wah-Zuree’  – the title of which is a corruption of the Zulu phrase for ‘good people’ – sounds a lot like the kind of thing the Temptations were recording at Motown around the same time, but the backing track is 100% Philadelphia (listen for those Vince Montana vibes).

The record, which has a funky, upbeat rhythm with a pop edge, ought to have been a hit, but only managed minor regional airplay in and around Philadelphia.

It does not appear that Tindley worked as a performer after that, though he does have a number of production and arranging credits (C and the Shells, Pucho and the Latin Soul Brothers, Evelyn Champagne King) in the 1970s.

I have seen a reference that indicates that Tindley passed away in the 1990s, but aside from that the trail goes cold.

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

Keep the faith

Larry
