Search: Trouble In Mind
by: Sir Joe Quarterman & Free Soul

Release Date February 28, 1995
James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, naturally influenced a great many other recording artists, some of whom also had lengthy, lucrative and successful careers. Just as many more, however, could never quite break through, and among those was Joe Quarterman.

As with so many other black artists, he commenced by singing in church groups, local chorale clubs, and wherever else he could assemble an audience - including street corners. While in high school, and leading a group known as The Knights, he was given the nickname "Sir" and although certainly a fan of James Brown & The Famous Flames, he soon developed his own style which in no way imitated the master.

In fact, in the early 1960s he hooked up with four female ... Read More:

Sir Joe Quarterman & Free Soul

Search: Trouble In Mind
by: Sir Joe Quarterman & Free Soul

Release Date October 09, 1995
I first picked this one up in Japan. So Much Trouble In My Mind hooked me right away. Years earlier I heard Charles Kynard do an incredibly funky Hammond B-3 organ version of it. - - This is early '70s James Brown copycat funk but done good. If you like Rufus Thomas, Dyke and The Blazers, The Jimmy Caster Bunch and Joe Tex... this is for you. Horn and Rhythm guitar "down home" funk. - - There aren't any audio samples up at the time of this writing for this compilation, however, his classics album has most of the same songs if you'd like to venture a listen. - - I'd definitely put this in the must have category. Check out The JBs, Black Nasty and Cold Blood as well and get yourself a good edu-funk'a'cation.

Mega Disco Funk

Search: Trouble In Mind

Release Date May 15, 2001
What's so disappointing is that there are so many great songs on this CD, and most of them end at the climax of the songs. For example, "Just An Illusion" by Imagination is one of my favorites, but the song ends on what I think is the best part of the song. I should have known that a CD with so many songs couldn't possibly play all the songs in there entirety. This box set is good if you want a constant change of music. It will be a tease if your looking foward to dancing and feeling the music.

Funkin' on the 1

Search: Trouble In Mind
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 29, 2000
FUNKIN ON THE 1 is for the hardcore funkateers. A 5 CD set which is Super funky, Super rare, Super baad! Some of these songs have never been released on CD before. My favorites are the rare Bootsy cuts. Part 1 of both FUN IN YOUR THANG (BOOTSEY PHELPS & COMPLETE STRANGERS) & WHATSONEVER THE DANCE (HOUSE GUESTS) has been released in other comps.,but pt. 2 of both jams is released for the 1st time here. BREAKDOWN & FUNKY WOMAN is listed as being recorded by THE PARLIAMENTS here. Actually it was PARLIAMENT after they decided to drop the S from their name. This CD shows how versatile funk is. So if you need the funk, or you want to learn more about the funk,or you're just simply tired of today's digitalized music, this CD is for you. You'll ... Read More:
