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

In furtherance of commencing the week\u2019s festivities on a funky note, I bring you the Rimshots.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tune in question \u2013 \u2018Save That Thing\u2019 \u2013 rolled off the presses in 1972 and was a Top 40 R&B hit in December of that year.<\/p>\n

The Rimshots were the de facto \u2018house band\u2019 at Sylvia Robinson\u2019s<\/strong> family of labels, including Stang, A-I and All Platinum.<\/p>\n

They recorded two LPs and a grip of singles (including their cover of the Ramrods<\/strong> \u2018Soul Train\u2019) for A-1, All Platinum, Stang and Astroscope between 1972 and 1977, as well as providing backing for artists like the Moments, Hank Ballard<\/strong> and the Whatnauts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are especially interesting \u2013 to me, anyway \u2013 in that they\u2019re a prime example of a unit that straddled the funk and disco eras with success.<\/p>\n

\u2018Save That Thing\u2019 is a slow burner, with the electric piano and the bass pushing things along, with the occasional vocal interjection.<\/p>\n

It is very groovy indeed.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it as much as I do.<\/p>\n

See you on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

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