I've never heard this album, but it just screams "Schoolhouse Rock ripoff."

If Philadelphia Int'l was the 70s equivalent of Motown, then TK was the Stax, recording raw Miami funk and soul on a ragged four-track. And getting hits. RIP Henry Stone.

I went on a major GCS binge a few years ago and was amazed at how unslick they still were by 1977-78. I'm not saying they weren't disco-friendly, but they still let their rough edges hang out. By that time, most funk bands who weren't P-Funk…

batmon said:Graham Central Station is a darker/murkier Funk that can Rock the fuck out when it had to. And that's why I prefer GCS over the Brothers Johnson. The first Johnsons album, Lookin' Out For #1, was excellent funk, but…

Mighty Junior, I think this is what you want:

While I haven't been posting here regularly as of late, I would be highly pissed if I came back and saw Batmon missing...

I have a Fender tweed amp that I temporarily hooked up to my stereo for kicks, just to see how it sounded. Sounded really good with music recorded before 1964. When I cranked the reverb, it had a "reprocessed stereo" effect that amused me for…

Truth be told, I loved my thirties. Old enough to have learned lessons, young enough to still use them. Enjoy yourself, act accordingly, and put the midlife crises on hold.

LaserWolf said:Was also thinking of blues guys, Albert King on Stax, Luther Allison Motown, but no crossover. Also thought of MLK, with the Black Forum record, but I don't think Stax did any spoken word. Thought about gospel, but still could…

Electrode said:The Emotions (had a Motown record in the 80s) and Kim Weston are "two" of the women. Kim Weston. That's one. Three to go. I didn't know the Emotions were on Motown. New one on me. I was thinking of another female artist w…

The two males I'm thinking of weren't from Detroit or Memphis and are fairly unlikely, but they did technically record for both labels.

A reissue, to me, is a record that reappears after lapsing out of print. Or a record that automatically shows up on a different label - like when Cheech & Chong signed with Warner Bros., their older records on Ode reappeared on Warners. A…

I know of four artists that were on both Stax and Motown. Two women, two men - there's a hint.
-
I'll take a shot: Name four artists who have recorded for both Stax and Motown. (Session musicians, group members and songwriters don't count - all solo acts.)

LaserWolf said: Same goes for Otis Redding, the most important member of the group. Otis died before the Soul Clan plan could come to fruition. None of these artist made a bad record for Atlantic in the 60s, in my way of thinking. …

Does anybody have his next two albums, Eddie Kendricks and Boogie Down! respectively? I have the singles, but I get the impression that these LPs weren't as experimental as People...Hold On. If Kendricks played an instrument like Marvin or St…

toby.d said:I also really dig the cover. Understated, clever and cool. Agreed. Literal cover art can get really tacky, but the austerity of those actual meters on the cover is tastefully done.

I've seen the movie, and as they say, it is what it is. Great low-rent flick spiced up with some humor from Wildman Steve, plus Latimore in a co-starring role. But I was thinking it was from the mid-70s, not the early 80s. It was retitled for the VC…

I'll admit, I counted CDs and vinyl both. Still "albums," in my mind.
