\"Example\"
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

My new weekly radio show for WFMU’s Give the Drummer Radio, Testify!<\/strong> had it’s inaugural episode last Wednesday and is archived over there. <\/a>If you dig Funky16Corners<\/strong> and\/or Iron Leg<\/strong> I think you’ll dig it. I’ll be on the air every Wednesday night from 10-12, live, so tune in when you get a chance!
\n_______________________________________________<\/p>\n

Hows about we start the week with the musical defibrillation of Harvey Scales and the Seven Sounds<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

I forget where I picked up on this particular 45, but Harvey and his Sounds have popped up in this spot on numerous occasions, in posts, mixes and on the radio show.<\/p>\n

The group, based out of Milwaukee, WI released a number of smoking 45s during the 60s (mostly on the local Magic Touch label) and Harvey himself doing 45s and LPs for labels like Casablanca through the disco era.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s selection comes from a two single run for Chess in 1970. Both of the 45s originated with their local operation in Milwaukee, having been produced (and cowritten) by Magic Touch owner Lennie LaCour.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What you get here are variations on a theme, that being the Yolk, which appears (an assumption based solely on anecdotal, record collector information) to have been a dance of some kind.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Yolk\u2019 and its continuation \u2018The Funky Yolk\u2019 are both fine examples of prime, late 60s\/early 70s kick-ass funk, and are among the finest things Harvey and the Sounds ever laid down. They are both packed from end to end with blazing horns, Harvey\u2019s fine singing and some pounding drums. \u2018The Yolk\u2019 is your basic statement, with \u2018The Funky Yolk\u2019 following as a more heavily instrumental continuation.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t recall dropping a lot of dough on this smoker, but Popsike seems to indicate that it has been changing hands for north of 50 bucks, often close to (or over) 100, and considering the heat contained in the grooves, it\u2019s worth every penny.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it, and I\u2019ll see you all on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners<\/strong> on Instagram<\/strong><\/a>, Twitter<\/strong><\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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