Episode #168: Soul Constitution


I stumbled onto a couple of various-artist funk compilations that have been in my collection for, oh, I'd say about 10 or 15 years or so, that I probably haven't listened to in years. They're right between my personal copies of Johnny Mathis Sings Slade's Greatest Hits and Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Live and Uncensored! Most of the songs on this week's show come from two or three of those albums and were, at least at some point, distribution-challenged. This show probably won't change that, but neither has Spotify. Boom!
