ORIGINATION 7"
LAST LISTENED TO in the past month
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT vague
RATING
In the last part of last year, i unearthed my 7" singles mountain, after if had lain undisturbed for nearly six months. In particular, i went through my funk 45s, of which there are far more than a hundred. This one is a fine example of modern funk, having been recorded in 2001 and is more of a cop show funk than a hard soul funk. As you'd expect it features plenty brass, percussion and wah wah and it runs along at a medium-fast pace. In some ways, it has a vague similarity in sound to The James Taylor Quartet's cover of the Theme From Starsky And Hutch, which featured a few ex members of both James Brown's band The JBs and Funkadelic. Which puts this track in good company. However, with it's driving pace and repeating melodies, it's more of a chase scene tune than a main title. Of course, that's not exactly a bad thing.
