CAIN, HENRY - Funky Organization of Henry Cain
During the David Axelrod craze this was a 2nd or 3rd tier record collectors would check for because Axelrod produced it. I thought The Funky Organization of Henry Cain would be your typical run of the mill organ Jazz album, and in many ways it is, but there are a couple times when Cain surprised me. |

CHANDLER, GENE - Situation
Gene Chandler is best known for his 1962 Doo Wop classic Duke Of Earl. His career was much longer than that one song. Chandler was a mainstay of the Chicago Soul scene, and Situation was one of his more successful albums because of the hit Groovy Situation. |

CHARLES, RAY - A Message From The People
Ray Charles recorded A Message From The People with his longtime friend Quincy Jones. Charles gets off to a great start with a completely re-arranged and soulful version of Lift Every Voice And Sing. Two mellower numbers, Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong and Heaven Help Us All, follow that. |

GAYE, MARVIN - Marvin Gaye And His Girls
This album collects together Marvin Gaye’s recordings with Tammi Terrell, Mary Wells and Kim Weston. There are four tracks with each female artist. The songs with Wells are a little too mellow. It Takes Two with Weston finally kicks things off with its fast pace. |

JACKSON 5 - Stand
What do you do in a record store where it appears you have everything that’s interesting? Pick up records from knock off labels like Pickwick that specialized in previously released material. |

BROWNE, TOM - Love Approach
Love Approach opens with Tom Browne’s #1 hit song Funkin For Jamaica, which I still think is a great party track. It also proves that there was good music made in the 80s. |

INTRUDERS - (Love Is Like A) Baseball Game/Friends No More
The Intruders hit pay dirt with their big hit Cowboys To Girls. The single led to an album, which this 45 came from. |

MUHAMMAD, IDRIS - Power of Soul
Bob James arranged and conducted this album and put together the regular CTI/Kudu crew to surround Idris Muhammad’s drumming. James played keyboards, along with Grover Washington on sax, and Ralph MacDonald on percussion to name a few. |

GREEN, AL - Green Is Blues
Green Is Blues was actually Al Green’s first LP for Hi. With his 1972 success they re-released it, which is the version that I have. |

CHI-LITES - 24 Hours Of Sadness/You’re No Longer Part Of My Heart
Despite the title, 24 Hours Of Sadness is actually a poppy Soul number with loud horns that contrast with the melancholy lyrics about losing a girlfriend. You’re No Longer Part Of My Heart is more of the same with a strong bass line. |

TOUSSAINT, ALLEN - Southern Nights
I’d always passed on Southern Nights because of the 1975 release date, but I came across a really cheap copy in a store so I finally decided to give the record a shot. Backing up Toussaint on this album are the famous Meters. |

DRAMATICS - Dramatic Jackpot
The Dramatics were one of the few vocal Soul groups to consistently put out good music all the way through the 1970s. On Dramatic Jackpot they got a lot of help from musicians such as Earl Van Dyke and Donald Austin. |
