Ex-Lax Funk

Horseleech

I came across a promo 45 from '73 for Ex-Lax, One side vocal ("No one's gonna love you if you don't help yourself") and one side instro.



Here's some clips. It was almost definitely done in NYC, and I have some ideas who the session players might have been (though I have no way of knowing for sure) - anybody here have any guesses as to who it might be?

My guess. Bernard Purdy, Richard Tee, Cornell Dupree.

Singers and horns and bass not a clue.

"loose booty"

Jonny_Paycheck

gives new meaning to hitting the brown note.

Sounds about right.

Could be Chuck Rainey or Bob Bushnell on bass.

Regardless, the shit is definitely smooth

Sounds like a TV theme song.

I have one of those too. Got it of the bay about a year ago for peanuts. I still haven't been brave enough to try it on the floor. It's cool to find something about it...
