Nice to have the groove happening. The track by Yvonne Fair should read Black and not Back. Which makes it even nastier...

Glad you're enjoying robert. Obscure but still known to you? Do you go deep with female disco vocalists? I recall you ID'ing an uncredited Fonda Rea a while back on a track.

t_al_z for sure. Open to a few choice picks if you've got them.

I was 12 in 1970, so i grew up hearing that music. I was bilingual and i listened to Ottawa radio. I am learning about the underground stuff. I think that the West End track is by Taana Gardner, not Tanna...

The Funk Machine track is a bit obscure, which makes it valuable, in my eyes. You play a lot of rare recordings. Which is cool. Thanks.

Always appreciate you listening robert p. Now also appreciating your reading. Names are important. Thanks for catching those! Until next week...
