And some bonus breaks too....

Couple of absolute gems here for you,

Lou Donaldson - "Peepin' "from the 1967 "Mr Shing-A-Ling" album.

Minnie Riperton - "Inside My Love". Taken from the 1974 Album Perfect Angel. If you do not like this track, visit your doctor, something is very wrong with you. You will have heard covers of this before, this is the original and best by far.

Maynard Ferguson - "Mister Mellow" from the 1977 Conquistador album, features a quality bassline as previously used by Showbiz & A.G and is uber chilled throughout... nice. Quite surprising as Maynard himself looks like Jon Pertwee on PCP on the back cover... As a bonus-bonus, here's Maynard's covers of the "Rocky" theme and "Star Trek" theme, both from the same album.

Thank Funk It's Friday Pt. 3

Bringing the Friday funk to a close now with one of many, many covers of Lee Dorsey's "Get Out My Life Woman". An undisputed classic covered by well over 20 artists and sampled by hundreds more since it's original release date of 1966 on Lee's debut album "The New Lee Dorsey".

This version is from Grassella Oliphant's 1967 debut album "The Grass Is Greener" and keeps it instrumental, letting the horns wail over the totally expected sweet, sweet drums and bassline.

Enjoy your weekend, more tunes are on the horizon and it's not that far away.....

PS, talking of multiple covers of this track... this is what I mean!
