Curtis Ousley (February 7, 1934 – August 13, 1971), who performed under the name King Curtis, was an American tenor, alto, and soprano saxophonist and session musician who played rhythm and blues, rock and roll, soul, funk and soul jazz. He was also a musical director and record producer for Aretha Franklin and other top R&B artists. Provided sax solos on numerous hits in the 60's and inspired nearly every artist he worked with. Curtis was loved and respected by both the music establishment and hippy freaks like Duane Allman and Delany Bramlett. Soul Serenade is one of his best known compositions. Tragically he was murdered entering his home in Harlem in 1971.

Houston Person (born November 10, 1934) is an American jazz tenor saxophonist and record producer. Although he has performed in the hard bop and swing genres, he is most experienced in and best known for his work in soul jazz with people like Bernard Purdie, Melvin Sparks, Virgil Jones, and others. His best stuff never seemed to stray far from his roots in R&B, as "Sweet Buns" indicates. And this might be one of the worst covers ever made.

Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe was an Igbo Nigerian Highlife musician, from southeastern Nigeria. His career spanned over 40 years, and he is one of the most well known Igbo highlife musicians. His loping layered grooves are elemental to the West African sound. His compositions frequently occupied an entire side of wax and often aspects of samba and meringue. A highly danceable groove.

Bow Thayer is one of Vermont's best kept secrets. A talented singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, his profile was raised somewhat by recording an album with Band drummer Levon Helm. A terrific roots rock album, this track is just a solid bit of American songwriting and playing.

Johnny Otis, one of the great American blues and rhythm and blues pianist, vibraphonist, drummer, singer, bandleaders and impresarios, was born John Alexander Veliotes to greek immigrant parents. Perhaps best known for his hit Willie and the Hand Jive, Otis recorded literally hundreds of tracks often including the prodigious guitar work of his son Shuggie Otis. As this track demonstrates, he always had a crack band and knew how to groove.

The Bhundu Boys were a Zimbabwean band that played a mixture of chimurenga music with American rock and roll, disco, country, and pop influences. Their style became known as jit, and is quite popular across Africa, with some international success. The name came from bhundu (meaning "Bush" or "jungle"), in reference to the young boys who used to aid the nationalist guerrilla fighters in the 1970s war against the white minority government of what was then Rhodesia. Lead singer Biggie Tembo (Biggie Rodwell Tembo Marasha) was just such a Bhundu boy.

Jackie Mittoo was a Jamaican keyboardist, songwriter and musical director. He was a founding member of The Skatalites and was a mentor to many younger performers, primarily through his work as musical director for the Studio One record label. His brilliant compositions integrated funk, R&B, mento, calypso. Grand Funk is a wicked early 70's jam.

LA Sunshine is about as positive a groove as one could possibly compose about Los Angeles and it's ubiquitous sun. WAR was a multiracial and multiethnic band that originated in fertile ghettos of Chicago during the end of the 60's. The band flourished throughout the 70's scoring several hits and evolving personnel. Just a really sick band.
