Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

The end of the week is nigh, so you should lock yourselves in the storm cellar with the wireless set and get ready for the Funky16Corners Radio Show<\/strong>,which comes to you each and every Friday night at 9PM on Viva Radio.<\/strong> <\/a>If you are unable to make the scene then, you can always subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, or grab an MP3 out of the archive here at the blog.<\/p>\n

The record I bring you today is yet another one of those \u201cbought it for the organ tune on one side and ended up digging the flip a little bit more\u201d things that keep popping up here at Funky16Corners.<\/p>\n

I forget exactly where I first got wind of Larry Hale\u2019s<\/strong> \u2018Shout and Do the Duck\u2019, but I suspect that it was on another DJs finds\/wants list.<\/p>\n

I do remember that it was not an expensive 45, and that it did take me a little while to flip it over, but as I said, when I did, I ended up preferring the vocal side.<\/p>\n

Larry Hale recorded a few 45s under his own name for United Artists, Columbia and Diamond, as well as being one of the vocalists on the RCA 45s by the African Beavers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Shout and Do the Duck\u2019, which came out in 1966 starts with a spoken\/shouted gospel-feeling instro, before opening up into a fast moving soul tune with a wailing vocal by Hale.<\/p>\n

There is a vague Latin feel running underneath things, as well as a short breakdown that borrows from Stevie Wonder\u2019s<\/strong> \u2018Fingertips\u2019.<\/p>\n

I have no idea who\u2019s playing the organ on \u2018Organ Shout and Do the Duck\u2019 (hear it in Funky16Corners Radio v.42<\/a>) but the playing is rudimentary enough to suggest to me that the organ was not their first\/main instrument.<\/p>\n

In an interesting twist, it would seem (read Sir Shambling\u2019s<\/strong> piece here<\/a>) that Larry Hale and Tony Fox<\/strong> were in fact the same person recording under a number of aliases. If you listen to Tony Fox\u2019s \u2018I\u2019ve Got To (Do It To It)\u2019 on Calla, it is definitely the same person singing on this 45.<\/p>\n

That said, this is a very cool 45, and I hope you give it a spin or two this weekend.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
