Finally going to post something, sorry it's taken me so long. Here's a great find out of Chicago that I've been listening to lately... Old school soul and r&b... Finally something fresh that makes me wanna dance!!!
The debut by JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound. The record definitely begins on a high-note with the title track "Beat of our own Drum", and perhaps the only track that comes close in intensity is "Baltimore is the new Brooklyn" still the record is worth a solid play through.

It's for some kind of tv program called "chic a go go" and while it's absolutely ridiculous, it's also totally perfect in the sense that it's in keep with the whole throw-back vibe of the band as it evokes the videos of "Ready, Steady Go" programs Otis Redding was featured on numerous times. Hilarious!
It's old-school but it's fresh... definitely wanna catch them when they come to europe.

What's up, bro. I think you are the first guy I legitimately have no idea who you are. Did Big Steve refer you?
That YouTube clip was pretty tight.
Glad you enjoyed the clip.
Actually I was referred by Big J, while he was in Spain this summer. Remember?
