Genre: Funk / Soul

1. We Gettin' Down
2. The Power & The Glory

This month Athens of the North presents two 45's from a true musical genius, Weldon Irvine. Here on the first we have 2 classic sides taken from the 1974 LP Spirit Man on RCA. Surprisingly neither tracks have been issued on 45 despite being spun on many scenes since the early 80s. 'We Gettin' Down' is a sophisticated synth and strings funk masterpiece that reminds me of old Jazz Funk sets from the early 80s. The flip 'The Power and the Glory' is is a Jazz Dance monster if the highest order. I have probably trashed 3 copies of this LP djing so happy be able to tuck these into my 45 box.
