Brick / Waiting On You - 1980

After setting the funk world on fire with 1976's Good High and 1977's Brick, the Atlanta-based Brick seemed to be running out of steam on 1979's competent but unremarkable Stoneheart. Gratefully, Brick's fourth album, Waiting on You, was an improvement. Fans who found Stoneheart to be uneven and mildly disappointing were pleased to discover that Brick is more inspired and focused on this 1980 LP. Without question, Brick sounds rejuvenated on energetic, infectious funk smokers like "Free," "Get Started," "Sweet Lips," and "Push, Push." And the band is equally appealing on the romantic soul ballad "Let Me Make You Happy." As much as Waiting on You has going for it, the record isn't quite as strong as Good High or Brick, both of which are classics. But it's certainly superior to Stoneheart, and it demonstrated that Brick was still quite capable of being exciting.

Band of Light / The Archer - 1974

Um belo trabalho dessa maravilhosa banda um Hard Rock , com uma levada Funky , nas guitarras . Não chega a ser tão brilhante como o primeiro mas também não decepciona !

Band Of Light : The History



Line-Up:
Phil Key (Guitar / Vocals)
Tony Buettel (Drums)
Norm Roue (Slide Guitar)
Peter Roberts (Bass)

Phil Key had spent eight years with the La De Da's before forming Band Of Light in October 1972 as a more introspective, personal venture. Ian Rilen replaced original bass player Peter Roberts after only three gigs. Master slide guitarist Norm Roue and drummer Tony Buettel completed the line-up. Norm had played with Gutbucket, Lotus and Wolfe. Peter had played with Freshwater and the La De Da's, and Tony with Bay City Union, Levi Smith's Clefs, Fraternity and Band Of Talabene.

Band Of Light immediately established a slow, heavy blues style dominated by Roue's stinging slide work. Key also introduced a quasi-religious philosophy into the band's lyrics that espoused racial equality, social justice and spiritual harmony.

The band worked the Sydney and Melbourne pub circuit and scored a national number 18 hit single in July 1973 with the infectious boogie rocker "Destiny Song"/"Over B" which was taken from the album "Total Union". Mostly the album was standard hard rock, slow 12-bar blues and boogie, but the best tracks revealed Band Of Light to be an energetic and funky rock band. The second single "Free Them From Hunger"/"The Cat" in August and the non-album "Moonstruck"/"If" in November failed to chart.

Roue, Rilen and Buettel all left Band Of Light in mid-1974. Roue went on to join Buffalo, Rilen helped form Rose Tattoo in 1976 and Buettel went into production work. Key was ready to record the band's second album and called in Billy Williams, previously from Classic Affair, to play bass and Danny Davidson, from Tamam Shud and Kahvas Jute, to play drums, in order to complete the album.

Released in 1974, the album "The Archer" had a much drier sound than the debut and failed to chart. The single "The Archer, A Sagittarian Rhapsody"/"Silus The Sun" was not successful. Ray Vanderby on keyboards and Eddie Hansen, from Ticket, on lead guitar, filled out the basic three piece line-up for live dates, but by the end of 1974 the band had broken up.

Key ended up driving taxis in Sydney for many years. He died in May 1984 as a result of a congenital heart condition.

Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd Street Rhytm Band / Express Yourself - 1970

Grande clássico da Soul Music , aqui tem como bonus : Express Yourself Pt. 2 , que voces só encontram aqui no Rocksoul

Charles Wright headed one of the great funk groups of the late '60s and early '70s, the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. Wright, who was born in Clarksdale, MS, was a singer, pianist, guitarist, and leader of the eight-member band, which had been recruited from Watts in Los Angeles. They were originally known as the Soul Runners. Bill Cosby helped get the band off the ground by giving them appearances at his gigs. They began recording for Keyman in 1967, then moved to Warner Bros. in 1969. While "Do Your Thing" and "Till You Get Enough" were Top 20 R&B hits, their finest selection was "Express Yourself," a song that expressed the urge for freedom as adroitly as the Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing" had in the '60s. It has also been among the most sampled funk tracks for hip-hop and rap groups. "Your Love (Means Everything to Me)" was their final R&B hit in 1971, peaking at number nine R&B and number 12 pop. The group's best ballad, "Love Land," did better among pop fans than R&B ones, many of whom saw it as a bit soft. They continued recording for Dunhill in 1973 before disbanding. Drummer James Gadson and guitarist Al McKay, who later joined Earth, Wind & Fire, were among the instrumental corps of the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band.

The Bar-Kays / Dangerous - 1984

Mais um espetacular álbum dessa fantastica banda ,uma das minhas preferidas da Funk Music , de primeira linha com os vocais maravilhosos de Larry "D" Dodson , e , comandada por um de seus fundadores James Alexander .



Able to move with the times, bringing all the elements of the new breed into their sound, and keeping their funk roots intact while traversing the slippery slope of 1980s dance, the Bar-Kays scored another hit with 1984's massive Dangerous LP. Whittled down to a hefty octet for this outing, the Bar-Kays easily proved they were still up to their old tricks, smoothly updating their sound while continuing to take some well-intentioned and good-humored jabs at more than a few peers along the way. This now-traditional penchant, never meant to hurt and only done in homage, is perhaps best heard across the album's three hit singles. Not only was the monstrously sassy "Freakshow on the Dance Floor" an integral part of the film Breakin', but the incorporated elements from Midnight Starr's "No Parking on the Dancefloor" were just evident enough to prove that the similarities were deliberate. Following on the heels of that hit came the mid-tempo groover "Dirty Dancer," which tongue-and-cheekily captured the essence of Michael Jackson's current "Billie Jean," leaving the synthed-out "Sexomatic" following quite happily in Prince's purple footsteps. And while it's true that these songs may well be the best elements of Dangerous, the band wasn't done yet — not by a long shot. The title track remains an outstanding sliver of smooth dance that seamlessly incorporates more than a few Euro-disco splashes into the mix. It's very much of its era, but still compellingly fresh nevertheless. Elsewhere, the band rounds out the relative frenzy with one single ballad, the well-intentioned "Lovers Should Never Fall in Love," capping off another effusive, energetic set. And although, at the time, it seemed as if the Bar-Kays were unstoppable, Dangerous would prove to be the band's last major hit — making this album one to savor.

Jimmy Bo Horne - Goin' Home for Love - 1979

Em 1979 a Zona Norte de Sp , tinha sua trilha sonora , cantado em quase todas rodinhas de amigos e tocadas em todos toca fitas dos carros pelas ruas dos bairros , estou falando de You Get Me Hot . Quem não se lembra do refrão dessa música : Parapapaparapapapa hot , bem quase isso não é ?. Mas o mais importante é mesmo a construção melódica dessa música , uma obra prima da Funk Music , que não deixa ninguém parado , seus sete minutos de duração com muitos metais , aquele baixo pesadão e até uma guitarra de alma branca pois é um show ouvir o cara dando uns acordes rockers , durante a execução da música , a batera fica marcando o ritimo junto com as palmas e um teclado pra lá de excelente preenchendo os espaços e dando a abertura desse clássico . Falar desse som é chover no molhado , só ouvindo mesmo . Goin' Home for Love , a segunda faixa já segue a linha do mais comercial ? sei não acho mais um Black Rock , cara que coisa linda essa música , além de ser inspiradora , em um minuto voce já esta cantando o refrão dela . Agora é a vez de I Get Lifted , começa com um esquema mais Disco e depois vai ganhando seu contorno mais Funk , já conhecido hit , do KC & Sunshine Band , mas que me desculpe , aqui Jimmy Bo Horne , da aula . Depois abrindo o lado dois do play , temos Without You , um tema romantico mais balançado , mais uma pra grudar nos ouvidos e acalmar os sentidos , por pouco tempo pois depois dela , já entra mais um grande clássico do mestre : Spank , quem não conhece a entrada daquele teclado acompanhado do bumbo e do chimbau até as caixas marcarem o ritimo e a palmas junto com um coral impagavel da Sunshine Band abrir para o Vocal Negro de dançante de Jimmy colocar todos pra dançar novamente . E infelizmente fechando o disco : [ They Long To Be ] Closer To You , o que é isso , essa canção derrete até pedra , transforma chumbo em ouro , a voz do cara é algo enexplicavel , não é atoa que ele virou pastor , quando ele declama um verso aqui eu fico pensando que seu tivesse essa voz eu no minímo teria comido umas duzentas mulheres , no minímo !!! façam o teste coloquem pra suas mulheres ouvirem e curtam o resultado . Sem exagero aqui esta mais um disco com a qualidade que todos os frequentadores aqui merecem um poderoso Masterpiece from Funk Music . Gostaria de de ser mais eloquente pra falar de um dos meus disco preferidos , mas fica aí registrado minhas recomendações pra se ouvir e dançar muito com esse trabalho maravilhoso , curtam e divulguem . E se alguém conseguir mais um disco dele que a gente aqui não tenha publicado , por favor as portas estão abertas . Até a próxima !!!!!

Dedicated with affection to the master Jimmy Bo Horne

The Quick / One Night in a Blackout - 1982

Um belo disco , um tanto obscuro dessa dupla Inglesa , misturando Funk e Pop Dance , fizeram um disco bem interessante .

The Quick was a dance pop duo from England that consisted of vocalist Colin "Col" Campsie and bassist/keyboardist George McFarlane. Their greatest success in US came in 1981 when their song "Zulu" spent two weeks at #1 on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
McFarlane and Campsie originally met in California in 1978, and began working together when they returned to England, taking the name "The Quick". Their debut single, "Sharks Are Cool, Jets Are Hot," was released on Epic Records in 1979. In 1981, the duo's single, "Hip Shake Jerk," became a hit in Australia, reaching #12, and their first album, On the Uptake was quickly released there. Remixed and repackaged as "One Light in a Blackout" (in Canada) and "Fascinating Rhythm" (in Europe), the album was released to the rest of the world in 1982, spawning a U.S. dance hit, "Zulu". The single "Rhythm of the Jungle" was another Top 20 success in Australia, reaching #13, and also became a hit in Europe. A second album, International Thing, followed in 1984.
By that time, McFarlane and Campsie had started doing studio work for other musicians, producing an album for Endgames among others. Their last album, Wah Wah, came out in 1986 on A&M Records. McFarlane and Campsie would resurface as Giant Steps in 1988. Campsie is married to Beverley Craven.

A1 - Rhythm of the jungle
A2 - One night in a blackout
A3 - Katy can't
A4 - Small, blonde box
A5 - To prove my love
B1 - Young men drive fast
B2 - Twisted
B3 - Sharks are cool, jets are hot

Greg Godovitz went under the bizarre pseudonym of 'Peabody' in the trio SHEARMAN & PEABODY. The other band members were a pre MOXY singer Buzz Shearman and drummer Gil Moore, later of TRIUMPH. Gino Scarpelli had previously been a member of BRUTUS alongside MOXY drummer Bill Wade. After an abortive album project with FLUDD Godovitz formed GODDO with Scarpelli and drummer Marcus Morin in 1975 debuting with an independent single 'Louie, Louie'.GODDO signed to major label Polydor for their eponymous 1977 album. Godovitz's barbed sense of irony was amply displayed on the title of the follow up in 1978 'If Indeed It's Lonely At The Top… Who Cares… It's Lonely At The Bottom Too!' After the 1979 album 'An Act Of Goddo' Scarpelli moonlighted with ex-MOXY and BRUTUS drummer Bill Wade to create BONGO FURY together with bassist Terry McKeowen issuing a solitary album.GODDO signed to Attic for the 'Pretty Bad Boys' album and a live effort but folded shortly after. The band reformed in 1992 for the 'King Of Broken Hearts' record. By 1994 Godovitz was a member of THE CARPET FROGS alongside ex-RED RIDER bassist Jeff Jones.The band had their track 'Let That Lizard Loose' covered on OVERDRIVE and LOCOMOTIVE BREATH guitarist Janne Stark's November 2006 MOUNTAIN OF POWER tribute collection.

Bill Haley Presents Lee Jackson / Rock Samba - 1975

Em 1976 quando os The Lee Jackson , entravam em estudio para gravar esse álbum , Bill Haley dava alguns shows aqui no Brasil , ele já tinha ouvido os sons dos caras e sabendo que eles estavam em estudio resolveu fazer uma visita a banda , logo foi ao estudio conferir de perto as novas músicas , logicamente ele não tocou no disco para tristesa geral de todos , mas a banda espertamente aproveitou a visita do idolo e se promoveu com todo o marketing em torno do acontecimento, com a aprovação do mestre ,é, claro ! O disco reune varios hits do Rock'n Roll , com misturas de Samba e o resultado não poderia ser outro um Rock Samba , da melhor qualidade .
