Love under new management  –  Miki Howard (Ex-Side Effect leading lady – The Elektra years … ‘nothing like leading a blind horse to a pasture – it can smell the grass but just don’t know the way to it’ are a snippet of the lyrics)

Cathedrals  – D. C. LaRue (Released on Pyramid Records but was swiftly deleted due to the closing of their distributing company Roulette)

Funky like a train  – The Equals (The 12 inch mix has gathered momentum to become a bona-fide U.K. Funk classic … written & produced by Eddy Grant)

Superficial People  –  Ten City (The best House group out of Chicago with Byron Stingily on lead vocals … 12 inch mixed by Steve’Silk’ Hurley but the lp/cd mix is also potent)

All of my life  –  Mystique (Curtom Records only released one of their albums athough a second was released as extra trax on cd … the group consisted of lead vocalist Ralph Johnson, Charles Fowler and two former members of The Lost Generation)

Because there music in the air  –  Macho (One of the first ‘Goody Music Productions’ to be licenced to Prelude in the U.S – recorded in Italy and mixed by the then award winning Tom Savarese in New York)

Funky Chicken  –  Willie Henderson & the Soul Survivors (Inspired by the inimitable Rufus Thomas’s song and dance of the same name – Chicagoan writer/producer & arranger Willie Henderson gives you this underground classic)

Good Vibration  –  J.D. (Where ever there’s Loleatta Holloway’s voice – a sampling machine is not far away … released on Requestline in the U.S. & Champion in the U.K., however this was released before the Marky Mark & the Funky who used the same sample)

Four women  –  Nina Simone, Simone, Laura Izibor & Ledisi (Originally written and sung by Nina – this new version was featured on the closing credits of movie ‘For the Colored Girls’ which was a 70’s Broadway show ‘For the Colored Girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf’)

Love contest  – The Joneses (A band headed by Glenn Dorsey  – one of the later trax on Spring Records before they started their Boogie/Rap offshot ‘Posse Records’)

Love  –  Brass Construction (This powerhouse of Funk was still able to sing about the lack go unity – hence the chorus ‘we need love’ … headed by Randy Muller, this was the first of ten albums)

Wondrous  –  Danny Clark & Jay Benham featuring SuSu Bobien (SuSu is guaranteed to deliver Gospel vocal performance – with MuthaFunkaz on remixing chores headed by DJ Spen)
