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

The track I bring you today is a very funky 45, with a very funky pedigree.<\/p>\n

\u2018Popcorn Push Push\u2019 by Ernest Van Treose and the McDaniel Mary Street Band<\/strong> is one of those old-school, funk 45 crate staples. I was after it for years, finally grabbing an OG for my play box last year.<\/p>\n

The tune rumbles along on a wave of pulsing bass, ringing, Meters<\/strong>-like guitar, and some tasty organ action.<\/p>\n

Released in 1969, the 45 (both sides) was written and produced by none other than James Shaw,<\/strong> aka the Mighty Hannibal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if Ernest Van Treose<\/strong> (often credited under what appears to be the correct spelling \u2018Vantrease\u2019<\/strong>) hooked up with Hannibal in Atlanta (though the band takes its name from an intersection in Atlanta), but he was a busy player. Vantrease was for years a sought after keyboard player for giants like BB King, Buddy Rich<\/strong> and Ray Charles<\/strong> as well as playing in the band of his brother, trumpeter Earl Vantrease.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Popcorn Push Push\u2019 is a killer, and the flipside, \u2018Medicine Man\u2019 gives Vantrease a little more space to solo on the organ.<\/p>\n

Vantrease did at least one more 45 with Hannibal for RCA, though this time it was a vocal soul effort \u2018These Are the Things\u2019 , released as Ernest Vantrease with the McDaniel and Mary Street Band<\/strong> in 1970.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the tunes (make sure to grab Monday’s mix<\/strong>) , and I\u2019ll see you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

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