First up for me, The Main Ingredient.

Favorite R&B band of all time: Tower Of Power



I think they had the tightest horn section of any band I've ever heard. Great musicians, singers, songwriters. A Great, great band. And they're still touring.

Love me some James Brown too. I prefer his 70s era myself over the 60s hits. I could go the rest of my life without hearing "I Feel Good" again.

I have a few gems in the collection. I always liked the Brothers Johnson, so here are two tracks from them.

WAR was a big fave back in the day. This was the band that Eric Burdon sort of discovered.

This is my favorite album by them:



The World Is A Ghetto (1972)

Funk 'em, Just to see the look on their face









Note to Foxhound, check their outfits, this ISN'T glam rock!
