Funky Sisters-Soul Woman (Aurora 165) - YouTube
A. THE GENDER TRANSFORMATION OF SAM & DAVE'S "SOUL MAN" INTO THE FUNKY SISTERS' "SOUL WOMAN" IS SO WELL DONE THAT THE LATTER HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVOURITE OF THE TWO; THE LADIES GRUNT AND YELL THE WELL-KNOWN LYRICS OVER A STOMP-STOMP RHYTHM, WHILE THE BACKING MUSICIANS INJECT SOME WICKED HAMMOND AND EVEN PSYCH GUITAR INTO THE MIX
b/w
"DO IT TO IT"
HEAR HERE!!
Funky Sisters - Do It To It - YouTube
B. "DO IT TO IT" (WRITTEN BY PRODUCER DARRELL JACKSON) HAS A CATCHY WHISTLER THROUGHOUT, AS WELL AS A "CLAP YOUR HANDS - STOMP YOUR FEET - SHAKE YOUR HIPS" REFRAIN; IT RICHLY DESERVES TO BE REGARDED AS A TORCH CLASSIC, AND MIGHT HAVE REACHED THAT STATUS IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR THE LARGE NUMBER OF WHITE OUT OF THE PAST BOOTS THAT FLOODED THE SCENE IN 1973; JOHN MANSHIP IS STILL CLAIMING THAT COPIES WITH THE LABEL MIS-SPELT AS 'AURORO' ARE LEGAL, BUT THEY LOOK LIKE AMERICAN BOO?!EGS TO ME; THERE ARE ALSO ALL-WHITE AURORA LABEL COUN?!RFEITS, SO THERE ARE QUITE A FEW WAYS TO PICK UP A 'SECOND ISSUE', IF THAT SUFFICES; THIS IS A BONA FIDE ORIGINAL PROMO, BUT IT STILL DOESN'T GIVE THE IDENTITIES OF THE MYSTERIOUS FUNKY SISTERS
