Fatback Band
“Street Dance” (Perception) 1972
by Wax Poetics
While James Brown & Co. always managed to bring a touch of Georgia rusticity to even the most futuristic funk shockers, the Fatback Band’s grooves were pure “street” and proud of it. Close your eyes while listening to this 1972 b-boy special and try not to envision worn Chuck T’s gliding over cracked pavement.
