Welcome back to FF … I am your host George Cvetkovski.
We continue our celebration of Black History month with part 2 of my tribute to the BLUES. More specifically, I want to present the GROOVE side of the blues…and how it served as blue print for the rise and development of funk in the 60s and 70s.
It is all 7” singles show of raw funk ….crossed-over with blues. Since there is little information about most of the artists I will play today… I will not do the usual presentation of each artist …instead I will include the track list for those who like to dig further….
So sit back…low down your lights…get yourself a drink…and enjoy the mix….
