Two of the rarest and best ‘70s dancers from the Florida sunshine, both taken the legendary Henry Stone’s Glades label.
DJ FRYER says:
“I had not heard the Clarence Reid-penned Nate Calhoun track until a couple of years ago whilst DJing at Oslo Soul in Norway, the original title is actually “Funktown” which was must have been dictated wrong over the phone as the lyrics don’t fit. The original 45 is getting spins by Ian Wright in the UK and at respected European soul nights like Function in Sweden, the Baltic Soul Weekender and obviously Soul Spectrum here in Scotland.
The 45 never made it onto one of Henry’s TK disco 12”s and I felt it sounded way more like a 12” rather than a 45. So we asked Henry if we could do it and a few days later we were getting the thing remastered. The flip is a mid tempo modern spin also from the TK stable and a warm up record of mine on and off for a few years and popular on the northern scene although I have never heard it played out myself. Sounds great next to tracks like Wayne Ford on P&P or Sylvester's "Here is my Love". |
