As we end the first week of me entering my 4th decade, I wanted to try to go out on a high note. Yesterday’s death of Michael Jackson was quite a surprise. The guy was only 10 years older than me. Hell, I work with guys that age. Despite what opinions you may have about Jackson (and we all have them), the guy’s music was genius. Unfortunately, we all can’t see how that 50 night stand in London was gonna go. We do have other music though, and that’s why I am here. I promised one Soul Investigators side a week, and this is the last of the bunch. So here’s an unreleased Soul Investigators 45 on Mitwit Records, it’s “The Soul Investigators Theme”.
Starting of with a slick bass line and equally slick drums, “The Soul Investigators Theme” starts to groove with a little bit of vibes and then the piano riff kicks in. The fun does not end. This is Funky Soul for today people. Actually, it’s Funky Soul from 2005/6, an unreleased side from Nicole Willis & the Soul Investigators Lp Keep Reachin’ Up. Close your eyes. If you didn’t know any better the year is 1969. This mid tempo groover keeps your head nodding from the first note to the last. It’s quite obvious that the guys at Timmion have mastered the art of making music sound like it was made back then. There are only a few record labels that can pull it off, and they are one of them (Truth and Soul, Daptone, Starla, and a handful of others that slip my mind at the moment). I’m hoping that this side is the theme to the start of your weekend. I will be back Monday with some fresh goods to Funk your head up with. Have a good weekend. Keep Diggin’!
