Double Bill. Dont take Heroin Kids/Funky Superly
Posted by Matt W



James Brown : King Heroin [Polydor, 1972]
Bobby Williams : Morning OfLove, Fair Trade
From : Funky Superfly [R.R. Records, 1974]

After reading Duncan's comment on the last post, the thought of endorsing a scag habit has been playing on my conscience. To clear things up and balance out my karma here is a James Brown classic pointing out all the reasons why you shouldn't take smack. King Heroin was released in 1972 and is a great slow James Brown number reminiscent of 'Its A Man's World'. I guess some of you have heard it before, but it's a great tune anyway, "wiggle an cough *cough*".

Don't forget, If you take heroin you will lose your friends, money, sex drive, intelligence, home and you will sell your entire music collection, all for a bit of China White, OK! and just be thankful I didn't post Grange Hill's 'Just Say No'

Next up is Bobby Williams. I picked up this suspicious reissue of Funky Superfly not long after aquainting myself with the 45 of the title track from the LP, which also comes recommended and is much easier to pick up OG than the LP.

Bobby was a James Brown wannabe, but a bloody good one. You can here the distinct J.B. influence in Morning Of Love. Rather than waffle on about how good it is I'll just regurgitate the blurb from the back of the LP

Bobby Williams was born in Washington D.C.
Like so many other entertainers, Bobby's career started in church. He has thrilled thousands of fans across the nation.
All of them hold him in high esteem. His act is so together that all could be said about him is sensational.
After listening to this record you will be saying the same.

Brothers and sisters Bobby Williams.
