The Fabulous Counts - Jan Jan

  • The Fabulous Counts

    Jan Jan LP (1969)

    Cotillion

Ranked #185 in the Soul Strut 200

Late 60s horn funk album in the vein of early Kool and the Gang and The Meters. The Fabulous Counts later dropped the "Fabulous" and recorded as the Counts on the Westbound and Aware labels (check the album What's Up Front That Counts). This is highly regarded as an essential Detroit funk LP anchored by the massive title cut.
