Kleeer - Winners (1979)

By far, one of my favourite funk bands. I had to put my grandfather on to this. Was shocked that he wasn't familiar with the name.

Not too long after the NY-based funk and disco group had changed their name from The Jam Band, then to Pipeline, and finally Kleeer, this album was finally released in '79.

Was strolling through the city one day and this came on the iPod randomly. I'd have to say it was bassist, Norman Durham, that caught my ears and had me acting a fool in public like the clip to my iPod case was the strings to my bass. If only i was a bassist, this album is damn fun to jam along with.

They got a couple of hott pieces on this album... check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.

Enjoy!

Ann Peebles - Part Time Love

The title track was a masterpiece, and everything else on this dynamic early '70s soul session is a jewel. Ann Peebles may have been the most overlooked great soul singer, male or female, who emerged in the '70s. Hi couldn't strike crossover goldtwice, and Al Green was becoming a superstar. But Peebles deserved a better fate than obscurity, as this collection of soul wailers and weepers proves.
