Excuse Me……

life on the edge of cool

Throw Back Sundays 0052

Come let us funk up your Sunday. Willber showed me this on a 7″ vinyl which is pretty cool. I showed him the album on mp3 lol.

Real Name:
Bobby Heller, Charles Heller, James ‘Boots’ Smith
Profile:
Very talented hammond-funk band out of Akron, Ohio. Consisted of Charles who played drums and Bobby on Hammond/Organ. They recruited James Crawford as a guitarist but left soon because he couldn’t keep up the hard practicing the Heller twins did. They found James ‘Boots’ Smith and got him into the band. After some years, Ernest Burt discovered the bands talent and hired them to release Go For Yourself b/w Funky Thang in 1969 on Burt Records. They recorded Hot Pants Break Down b/w Boot’s Groove a little later. This was released on Magic City recordings, also owned by Burt. In the Mid -70′s, they recorded their third release, Crazy Legs b/w Bobby’s Mood. But this recording escaped the Magic City vaults for some reason and ended up in the hands of Ernie Malick of the Westwood label under dubious circumstances.
If you can’t stand the funk get out the funkin kitchen
