Music by Freddie Perren and Fonce Mizell; songs performed by Edwin Starr.
With Easin’ In.

Leroy Burgess & The Fantastic Aleem Brothers.

Twenty-five tracks drawn from the golden era of Motown, 1961-1968: fifteen of them never released before.
Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marv Johnson, The Temptations and The Four Tops will be familiar names, though the recordings here are rare; The Hit Pack, The Serenaders and Gino Parks will maybe ring a bell; Michael Thomas and Johnny Earl will require this introduction.

Vintage funk and sweet soul by children, drawn from obscure 45s — fresh and irresistible, praps our favrit Numero so far.

This guitarist was a long-time mainstay of the B.B. King band.
His one single for Kent Records came in 1973, in its last days.
The A-side is a driving James Brown-style funk dancer, with tumbling horns; featuring Johnny Adams. That’s organist Earl Foster igniting the flip.

Her 1982 collaboration with Roy Ayers — classic disco boogie. One side is a full vocal; the other a flute-led instrumental, beefed up for the dancefloor by Ayers, at the mixing desk .
