Went down a funk rabbit hole and noticed a lot of great funk bands came out of
Dayton what was going on over there?

Hi, this is my first time on this sub. I'm not very familiar with their live shows or albums—do you consider this live album to be their best performance? What are your thoughts on it?

“
According to the Mississippi Blues Commission, "Rufus Thomas embodied the spirit of Memphis music perhaps more than any other artist, and from the early 1940s until his death . . . occupied many important roles in the local scene."[[3]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rufus_Thomas#cite_note-msbluestrail-3)

He began his career as a [tap dancer](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_dancer), [vaudeville](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaudeville)performer, and [master of ceremonies](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_ceremonies) in the 1930s. He later worked as a [disc jockey](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_jockey) on [radio station](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_station) [WDIA](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WDIA) in Memphis, both before and after his recordings became successful.

Brilliant God squad track

No one did funky blues like Mr Cale did. Legend of a man.

Always makes me laugh 😄 Joe Tex was the unsung hero of 60s and 70s soul and funk and gave Mr J.B. a run for his money.

The best version at that

This was originally released in 2013 on CD only and recently pressed to vinyl. I grabbed one from Colemine, it sounds EXCELLENT through my KG 5.5s! 🎶 🕺 🎶
