Found: Rare Glenn Goins – Summertime

Glenn Goins – Summertime

Quickie here post folks, when you find something new, rare, you gotta get it up and out.

Don’t know Glenn Goins, member of Parliament – Funkadelic, vocalist / guitarist? I guess get started at the brief Wikipedia entry. He is also the founder of the funk group Quazar. ‘Summertime’ is a recording from 1978, after he left Parliament-Funkadelic in February earlier that year. It could be an outtake from the 1978 Quazar album. Quazar and Glenn Goins also wrote and produced albums for others like the Crowd Pleasers (this track), and Glenn has appeared on albums like Johnny Taylor’s ‘Disco Lady’. There’s a nice little MySpace tribute page over here as well for Glenn with a few streams of Quazar and P-Funk songs featuring Glenn.

Sorry to be so brief – it’s Spring and I’m running off for the Easter / Passover holidays. Again this tune ‘Summertime’ was such a nice little find even though it’s Spring! You have to love the breezy song here featuring Glenn’s amazing gospel soul vocal work as always.

And of course we know Glenn for this classic P-Funk moment, when the mothership comes:
