There are similar sources here to that of "Crate Diggin’ Fever" - above - and this time the strap line is "70s Sophisticated Funk". In case you thought the words ‘sophisticated’ and ‘funk’ produced an oxymoron, the selection here suggests you think again - just listen to Chairmen Of The Board’s ‘Finders Keepers’, Laura Lee’s ‘If I’m Good Enough To Love (I’m Good Enough To Marry)’, Smith Connection’s ‘I’m Buggin’ On Your Phone’ or Honey Cone’s ‘Don’t Count Your Chickens (Before They Hatch)’. Each comes from Holland-Dozier-Holland’s Invictus/Hot Wax set-up while Brunswick provides the source of the Chi-Lites’ ‘(For God’s Sake) Give More Power To The People’ and Jackie Wilson’s ‘Love Uprising’ - both Eugene Record compositions - plus Willie Henderson’s own co-composition, ‘Funky Chicken’ and Hi Ann Peebles’ take on the Isley Brothers’ ‘It’s Your Thing’ and the Memphians’ organ-led ‘Sliding In And Out (Of My Neighbour’s House)’.
