Love it when I discover the original source of tunes from my youth and find they are superior to the one I know.
 

Like this one perhaps?

Listened to this again last night for the first time in ages. They might have been seen as more and more irrelevant in the start of the Hip Hop era, but boy is this just amazing. The whole gig is mindblowingly good.

A driving groove, excellent lead vocals, terrific vocal harmonies and of course, a great band.

The Perri Sisters.

 

 

You have just pushed my soul gospel buttons Lowdown. I saw the Perri sisters backing for Anita Baker many years ago in Birmingham. .  The Flight is one of the great unknown soul albums of all time imo. .  Talking of modern gospel. New Directions first album is fantastic. This track has so much momentum.

and...Sharon Jones right in the soul groove here. Not completely convinced about Darryl Hall's singing in this instance, however.

This bassline from Ernie Mckone just gets insane near the end of this fab Incognito record.

 

yep, that's some fine bass playing. Not heard of Ernie McKone before but is next to check out

Just popped this into the fave Christmas song thread, but it definitely belongs here at this time of year. Fantastic album - one of his very best in my humble opinion. This is one funky Christmas tune right here

Here's one of my faves from the very underrated War, pure foot stomping funk

 

Only cloth eared fools would underrate War! Magnificent band.
