Jazz Funk - Charles Earland - Let The Music Play

[@andyhaslam9231]

Used to play this in 1978 when i worked at Smarty's in Manchester. Hard to believe it is 40 years ago. Not a mobile phone or CD to be seen just happy days of men and women dancing to this. Happy Days

[@MrPeteBeale]

We would got to Smarty's on a Sunday night after the Ritz Alldayer finished.

I was 18 when this came out just as disco & jazz funk were exploding in the UK. I still got the 12" in my record collection. Happy days!!

[@RasJabal]

This track was the essence of the jazz funk explosion divine powerful funky beat and drums dynamic, floating harmonies and vocals neo african classical music that will stand the test of time

...Besides all the rock & roll violence of the 70's, the late Charles Earland's music was a breath of fresh air for me to listen to! Good memories...

[@johnfarr1193]

Just awesome. Great memorable real music from fantastic, carefree days! Caister, Soul City, Royalty, Goldmine, Cheekee Pete`s...the list is endless.

[@qubenlink]

More memories from Caister,love it

[@William_sJazzLoft]

Gateway funk; I wasn't schooled about him being an organ player until years later. I Remember Yesterday may have been his signature. But for me this tune was the gateway to his music - unashamedly disco

[@igorstankovic3275]

best music ever

[@chubbz71]

keys break absolutely kills it, 12" special..

[@soulboyclifford]

[@TheAudiostud]

I used to play this track @ The Bandwagon on a Monday day night it was a favourite dance out tune, where 2 dancers would battle it out to the appreciation of the crowd, the dancer most favoured by the crowd would stay on & take on the next challenger it was a Hard Core Dance Floor Tune & it still is with the kids of today a Big Shout Out to The Soul Nation Crew & the Kids of the Monday night soul seen

[@watchalot919]

Was that the bandwagon kingsbury ?
