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

I hope the new week finds you well.<\/p>\n

I picked up the record you see before you a few years ago on the strength of a friend\u2019s recommendation.<\/p>\n

I was familiar with the name Noble Watts<\/strong> (usually billed as Noble \u2018Thin Man\u2019 Watts) but didn\u2019t really know anything about him.<\/p>\n

Watts was an R&B saxophonist who released a string of 45s starting in the late 1950s, later moving on into a more jazz style for a series of albums in the 70s and 80s.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s selection, \u2018F.L.A.\u2019 was released in 1968.<\/p>\n

The record opens with a guitar riff lifted from Wilson Pickett\u2019s<\/strong> \u2018Funky Broadway\u2019 and then manages to squeeze in quotes\/references to Aretha Franklin\u2019s<\/strong> \u2018Since You\u2019ve Been Gone\u2019 and Petula Clark\u2019s<\/strong> \u2018Downtown\u2019 woven into a fast-moving, funky (mostly) instrumental.<\/p>\n

The flip side, \u2018Thingamajig\u2019 is a slower, funky instro with some cool percolating guitar running underneath the sax soloing as well as a brief drum break.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it and I\u2019ll see you all bext week.<\/p>\n

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