S.O.U.L

"What Is It"

Quite possibly the best album ever from this fantastic funky combo! The band grooves hard and funky -- with incredible drum work from Paul Stubblefield, tasty guitar from Walter Winston, and some famous funky flute and sax work from Gus Hawkins. Tracks on the album are rough and raw -- with plenty of breakbeats, and some very tasty funky basslines that work perfectly with their choppy instrumental groove. A few tracks have vocals, but even those boast a real strength in the instrumental department -- and very nicely keep up with the rest of the material. While they never scored a major hit-single, their soulful impulses were always crowd-pleasing. In 1970, they won a battle of the bands contest sponsored by the May Company department store in Cleveland, Ohio, along with local radio station WHK and Musicor Records. This feat garnered them $1,000 and a recording contract with Musicor. The band went into the studio and recorded What Is It?, which surprisingly entered Billboard’s Top 40 on the Soul Album chart. Four of the album’s seven tracks are covers, ranging from Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band’s “Express Yourself” to Herbie Mann’s “Memphis Underground.”.

ORIGINAL 1971 , still in shrink, yet torn away a bit.
