Obscure funk masterpeice with a moody vibe over it. If I only was able to listen to one song for the rest of my life, this would be the one!

Proper mid tempo ghetto funk tune with conscious lyrics about the ghetto. Released on the very small and obscure Chicago label Brave Records that also relesed the infamous Andrew Brown track "You Made Me Suffer".

MYRON & E WITH THE SOUL INVESTIGATORS

MYRON & E WITH THE SOUL INVESTIGATORS - COLD GAME

Finnish label Timmion, that brought us acts like Nicole Willis and Big Joe Luis, introduces Myron and E! Two bay-area singers backed by The soul investigators, that brings us this amazing soul bomb. This is only a couple of weeks old but already a classic!

MIGHTY LOVERS

MIGHTY LOVERS - AIN'T GONNA RUN NO MORE

Stunning group soul tune from Detroits's finest, Mighty Lovers. Amazing lyrics about a boy who meets a girl, gets sick and tired of being bullied around by the jack ass Fred and decides to fight him back to win the girls heart. He ain't gonna run no more! When you get tired of all your other soul tunes this tune will still be a winner. This track is one of the best soul tunes ever made, pure class!

Flipside to the mighty Love Bounce tune. This is proper soul, heartbreaking, gritty and lo-fi just the way we like our soul ballads!

THE SOUL TORONADOES

THE SOUL TORANODOES - HOT PANTS BREAK DOWN

The Soul Toronadoes was still teenagers back in the late sixtees when this 45 was recorded. This is a deep funk organ burner classic that never gets too old for the dancefloor.

GENE WAITERS

GENE WAITERS - SHAKE & SHINGALING PT.1

Superior funk boogaloo winner that still seems quite unknown to most people on the soul and funk scene. This tune brings everybody that still stand in the corners to the dancefloor. Love Bounce will give this tune the spins it really deserves!

WAYNE CARTER

WAYNE CARTER - MAD MOUTH WOMAN

Only a hand full of copies of this 45 was handed out for promotional use to DJs back in the early 70's. The tune didnt make it to the charts and was totally forgotten until the early 90's when someone found a box of the 45 in Wayne basement. This is jazz funk perfection!

BOBBY WILLIAMS

BOBBY WILLIAMS & HIS MAR-KINGS - LETS WORK A WHILE

Top tune from the man who gave you the classic "Funky Superfly". Bobby together with legendary funk hero Ricky Calloway still have a argue who was Miami's number one James Brown imitator back in the days. This is funk as it was ment to sound like, just like JB but just a little bit rougher!
