Description
SHORTY WAS FUNKY AND WAS ALSO, OTHER THAN SMOKEY ROBINSON, THE ONLY MOTOWN ARTIST ALLOWED TO PRODUCE HIMSELF. A GREAT R & B SINGER AND HUMORIST SHORTY WAS, UNFORTUNATELY, NEVER MOTOWN'S TOP ARTIST BUT HIS MUSIC EXPOSED THE VERSATILITY OF THE "FUNK BROTHERS" MORE THAN OTHERS. OBVIOUS STANDOUTS APART FROM THE TITLE TRACK ARE "FUNCTION AT THE JUNCTION" & THE CLASSIC "DEVIL WITH THE BLUE DRESS ON" AND THOSE ARE ONLY THE SINGLES. SHORTY'S VERSION OF "STRANDED IN THE JUNGLE" WORKS SUPERBLY WITH THE BEAT CHANGES AND CATCHPHRASE "MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE JUNGLE" WHILE THE UNLIKELY TITLED "HERE COMES FAT ALBERT" SOUNDS FROM THE INTRO EVERY INCH A FOUR TOPS SINGLE. WE ARE ALSO TREATED TO AN INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF "NIGHT FO' LAST" AND AN EXCELLENT "PEOPLE SURE ACT FUNNY", A HIT FOR ARTHUR CONLEY. A SUPERB SLICE OF MOTOWN. THE ALBUM CAME OUT '68 Cat. No. TML 11086 AND WHILE COVER HAS THE WRINKLES OF TIME IT LOOKS PERFECTLY GOOD BUT HAS CREASES ON THE SPINE SIDE ALTHOUGH IT STILL STANDS UP. THE RECORD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
