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

The week is rapidly coming to a conclusion, so I must remind you that the Funky16Corners Radio Show<\/strong> will be hitting the airwaves of the interwebs this (and every) Friday night at 9pM on Viva Radio.<\/strong><\/a> If you are unable to fall by the house party at airtime, you can keep up by subscribing to the show as a podcast in iTunes.<\/p>\n

The tune I bring you today is a prime example of the kind of bow-legged, wobbly, Mr Natural funk that I really dig.
\nIt is neither fast, nor hard hitting, yet it is as funky as they come.<\/p>\n

\u2018Camelot Time\u2019 by J. Hines and the Boys<\/strong> (billed on other records as J. Hines and the Fellows<\/strong>) made it to #73 on the R&B charts in the summer of 1973 (sounds earlier, right?<\/em>), and was Mr. Hines only chart hit.<\/p>\n

I will not go into the long and convoluted J. Hines story, deferring to the amazingly comprehensive post at Red Kelly\u2019s Soul Detective<\/strong> site instead.<\/a> That said, James Hines<\/strong> was a guitarist of some skill, laying down the chank, and the groove grease in equal measure with remarkable, head-nod-inducing skill.<\/p>\n

I verily dare you not to slap on your plaid flares and platforms and get up to move with \u2018Camelot Time\u2019.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an old Porky Pig<\/strong> cartoon where he goes to Wackyland, and sees (among other amazing things) a \u201crubber band\u201d,<\/a> which was in fact a band composed of rubber bands, if you dig, <\/a>and this record sounds to me what that band would sound like were it transplanted to the funky side of the tracks.<\/p>\n

Am I making any sense at all?<\/em><\/p>\n

Just listen to the track a few dozen times, read up on your read ups over at Red\u2019s site and I\u2019ll see you on Monday.<\/p>\n

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

Larry<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
