Betty-Harris_Mean-Man

«Fantastic song by one of the 2 New Orleans queens (Irma Thomas is the other one !). Allen Toussaint unique piano line groove makes this tune a New Orleans soul funk anthem!»
 

Harvey Scales & the Sounds
Love It is

Harvey-Scales-and-the-7-Sounds_Love-It-Is

«I call this kind of tunes “In the Red funk”. Very intense, beautiful distortion, you can even feel a punk vibe while Soul is also in the air, and this unique blend gives the track a tragic dimension.»
 

Moussa Doumbia
Keleya

Moussa Doumbia - Keleya

«Moussa Doumbia, musician from 70’s Mali, did this crazy song in Abidjan. Could have been one of James Brown’s best tune!»
 

Beau Dollar
I’m Ready, I’m Ready

Beau-Dollar_Im Ready-Im Ready

«A James Brown production on King Records. Amazing minimal use of the drums ; no snare, no kick, just a floor tom and a killer rock garage sound. A kind of raw funk version of the Velvet Underground.»
 

Melba Moore
The Magic Touch

Melba-Moore_The-Magic-Touch

«A Northern Soul classic… Incredible arrangements and such a deep soul voice for a lady who astonishingly carreered as a disco star. As we say in French, “C’est la vie”
