Dear Friends!
This are my more "funky" favorites for this
week:

-PETER ALLEN"Don´t Wish Too Hard"(LP/"I Could
Have Been A Sailor"/1979/Sounds like Bra-
lian-Disco for Las Vegas, but it´s O.K.)
-RICHARD T.BEAR"Sunshine Hotel(Just Walk In)"
(12"/Long Version/1978/A very good Disco-
Track, although he sounds like Joe Cocker/
Is Richard a rock-singer?)
-TOM BROWNE"Fungi Mama/Bebopafunkadiscolypso"
(LP/"Yours Truly"/1981/This track is real
crazy...AfroChants with Electronic FX)
-C.J.& CO"Devil´s Gun"(LP/"Devil´s Gun"/1977/
A Tom Moulton Mix/Westbound Rec./A Disco-
Classic/What else do you want more?)
-EMJID"Give Yourself A Chance"(12"/Special
Disco Version/1979/Trashy Disco from Europe
with FunkyAttitude)
-FANTASY"(Hey Who´s Gotta)Funky Song?"
(LP/1980/81/This one is real funky and hard
The whole Album is recommandable!)
-GENE FARROW"Move Your Body"(12"/Ext.Disco
Version/1977/HappyDisco like KC & The Sun-
shine Band)
-FLASHLIGHT"Who Am I?"(LP/Re-Issue/197?/
Sounds like classy Philly. Does anybody
knows, when it was originally released???)
-JONES GIRLS"You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody
Else"(12"/8:06/197?/This one is very smooth
and sexy!)
-KLEEER"Open Your Mind"(LP/"Winners"/1979/
Never can´t get enough of that stuff!)
-KONGAS"Africanism/Gimme Some Lovin´"
(LP/"Africanism"/1977/Prod.by Cerrone/
Another classic in a wild-driving style/
You could combine it with MACHO"I´m A Man")
-KOOL & THE GANG"Open Sesame"(LP/Long V./8:06
"Best Of...Kool & The Gang"/A classic Disco-
funkTune on DE-LITE)
-JIMMY MAELEN"Sympathy For The Devil"(LP/
"Beats Workin´"/1980/DiscoRock and maybe
this one is too much for some of you. Maybe
it could be also too much for me)
-HAROLD MELVIN & THE BLUENOTES"Bad Luck"
(2xLP/"Philadelphia Classics"/8:00/This
Edition has only long versions on it...
it´s a must!)
-MOTHER´S FINEST"Dis Go Dis Way, Dis Go Dat
Way"(LP/"Another Mother Further"/1978/Very
funky and heavy basslines...I like this
song!)
-PRINCE ELLIS"Disco Girl"(12"/Mixed By Prince
Ellis/1979/A softer Tune for morning moods)
-PUSSYFOOT"Lay Your Love On The Line"(12"/
Long V./1979/EuroDiscoTrash with NRG-Lines
inside...sounds a little bit Abba-esque, but
much better)
-BUNNY SIGLER"Let´s Get Freaky Now"(LP/"I´ve
Always Wanted To Sing"/1979/Another HardOn-
Funk for real Funksters/Salsoul)
-JOE TEX"Ain´t Gonna Bump No More"(12"/1977/
7:12/Didn´t know that there is also a long
version existing. I am not so sure about
the lyrics)
-THAT THING"That Thing"(12"/American V./1978/

A really good list there, Sirius!

Lots of good memories! :grin:

I love your crop of '77 stuff - Kool and the Gang, Joe Tex, CJ and Co, Gene Farrow.

Kleeer were on one the most popular groups on the UK soul/funk scene, and that LP was well loved - especially "Open Your Mind" and "Winners".

That Tom Browne track was a great tune.. As you say, very uplifting and joyous feel to it...

That Jones Girls track was from 1979, I believe. It certainly created big ripples in the UK..

Final comment on "Bad Luck". I always especially loved the Philly long versions. I think I have that double LP (on music cassette). Could you give me the listings and times of your LP so that I may check??

BTW I am not sure about your dates - August 17th??
