        "I love this record - talk about journeys on tracks. A synth, sax and full horn section handle most of the workload over the conga-driven percussion. These instruments provide the stage for the vocal chants on this quality jazz/funk outing from Philadelphia's WMOT stable." Yogi Haughton

  18. Come On Down Boogie People
      AVI12 202 David Williams 'Come On Down Boogie People' 1978
  19. 'Zone'
    • Rhythm makers/Zone/ 1975 / Delite 12" George Spruce: Kind of a psychedelic deep groove with extreme funkyness. It's one of the beauties out on the great De-Lite records. The group got signed to De-Lite after they performed at the recording studio because guys didn't have a demo tape available at a time. They did so well that people at De-Lite decided to book them right away. Once again - this song is like a dreamy trip into black music of the '70s and talking about the great fusion between funk and jazz -- De-Lite is one of the nicest ones to represent that movement even today.
    • Thomas Santilla:
        "This group re-formed a few years later as G.Q.- most famous for 'Disco Nights (Rock Freak)'"
  20. Odyssey Part II
      Johnny Harris/Odyssey part II / 1980 on Sunshine records, it's the b-side from part I

    • George Spruce: Hugh Masekela is also one of the funk/jazz fusion artists, best known from the '70s like with songs called ``The Boy's Doin' It'' and so on. This one is very mid-80's like (84) and sounds housey. Hugh plays trumpet on this one and overall the track is very dancable in the way how the groove and lyrics go together. I recently bought a CD album out on Emporio called: ``Hugh Masekela / African Breeze: '80s Masekela'' that features 12 songs from the 84-85 period. On that CD there's featured two versions of ``DGLIB'' track: `Stretch Mix' and `Dub Mix'.
