Get Low Down With Over Night Low

 


From 1972, please dig the funky and spunky creepy sounds of Over Night Low, once called the Ohio Majestics, and featuring both Chet Willis and "Diamond" Williams of the Ohio Players. Like yesterday's deep soul dive, I first heard this on a 2000 U.K. compilation titled "King Funk." Unfortunately, I don't have that CD any more, so I can't share more than this track at the moment.

I have a vivid snapshot from the personal slideshow in my head of listening to this comp on a busy Saturday at NYCD, and watching a number of happy shoppers dancing in the aisle while "The Witch Doctor" played. We only had two or three copies of "King Funk" in stock, but we sold them all during the three minutes this song was on.

They just don't make records like this anymore.

Very cool song. I can well imagine the dancing in the aisles at NYCD.
