featuring miscellaneous rare groove goodies.

  • Bahama Mama Pt. 2 by Jamo Thomas
    Groovy boogaloo from the same cat who told you to "Shake What You Brought With You" a few years earlier. There's no year listed on this Sound Stage 7 single, but it's definitely early 70s-ish.

  • Funky Music is the Thing Pt. 2 by the Dynamic Corvettes
    Much sampled funkiness issued on Abet records out of Tennessee in '75. Lots of chugging organ, happy horns, and tamborine.

  • Mr. Bass Man by the Fatback Band
    Bass-thumping party grooves from their best Event-label album, Keep on Steppin' from '74. This is an album you need now!!

  • Pata Pata by Senor Soul
    Here are some flute-happy boogaloo sounds released on Double Shot records, probably in the late 60s. I can't play this 45 on my show because the vinyl is chipped at the beginning!

  • Moonshadow by Labelle
    More massive than "Lady Marmalade." This gem is the title track of the group's Warner Bros. '72 release. Listen as Patti summons Marlo Henderson (from Maxayn and Mandre) to go mad on the wah-wah.

  • Get Satisfied by the Eliminators
    Mellow and hard-hitting. From their only album, Loving Explosion, released on Brunswick in '74. This 11-piece group from North Carolina knows how to jam.

  • Raggedy Ann by Al Jarreau and here's even more
    Yes, this slice of funky insanity is from jazz vocalist Jarreau. The whole album, We Got By on Reprise '75, has great mellow grooves throughout. But this track is so nice, I had to give it to you twice. (2 different sections, of course.)
