Daily Find – As I Lay Dying by Melting Pot – Funk 45

Daily Discovery - As I Lay Dying b/w Kool And The Gang by Melting Pot - Funk 45 on Ampex Records #11029

Nice double sided Funk record from New York. The "As I Lay Dying" side is a funky beat that begins with a Funkadelic style guitar and some horns that set the tone for a funky situation. "Kool And The Gang" is a nice cover of the Kool and The Gang tune by the same name. This record meets the seal of approval as Melting Pot brings the funk times two.

Daily Find – It’s Hot by Gene & Billy – R&B

Daily Discovery - It's Hot by Gene & Billy. Killer R&B on the Los Angeles label, Spark Records. The flip is a pleading love song to a woman named "Zerlene". Summer time is here and this duets song hits the spot like a cup of lemonade. Funky piano, guitar and drums that kick like the hot sun shining off a bald head. Your body might start moving to this grooving rhythm that should have a warning label, it might just make you hotter!

Daily Find – Love Makes The World Go Round by Diana Dawn

Daily Discovery - Love Makes The World Go Round by Diana Dawn. I love this version of the classic made famous by Deon Jackson. The horns and guitar in this version give it a more uptempo intro, as opposed to the vibes. It almost has a Barbara Lewis type quality to it. Northern Soul rarity.
