Side B
Block Party (5:46) NOTES ON THIS VINYL RECORD:
- Philadelphia born singer, Anthony White had a huge New York Disco smash with "I Can't Turn You Loose" but in particular the instrumental version entitled "Block Party." It was a favorite of hustle dancers and I even remember it being used in commercials on New York radio. Walter Gibbons did the mix and it has his trademark raw percussion breakdown.
Whatever the price, get this Anthony White 12 inch as it is a classic that you may have forgotten. Play eithr version-just get it! With Earl Young and Ron Kersey on board you know this is a solid Salsoul release.
Also, Anthony White's "Block Party" was one of the cuts featured towards the end on the classic bootleg Disco mixer "Hollywood Volume 1."

Ebullient, joyful, indubitably ON disco bang-bang! Its one of the best records Salsoul ever released -- nd yes, I know what it means to say that!
Anthony White is a solid soul screamer who evidently loved hisself some Teddy Pendergrass. His pipes close: indeed, on this one record, he fully matches the 70's master, if only through a naive, charm that few stars retain after their first million-seller.
The production is not a moment too long at nearly ten minutes (not including the, er, Prelude); I can't think of a disco record, even by Trammps, Detroit Emeralds etc., that is more masculine and BLACKER within such a string-driven, Euro-based environment. This sort of gumbo is part of what made disco GRRRREAATTTT!!!

The first time I heard Billie Jean, I thought it was this song playing.
