Vinyl Wednesday: The Brides Of Funkenstein - Funk Or Walk
Wikipedia tells us that The Brides Of Funkenstein were backing vocalists for Sly Stone before they joined the P-Funk Collective in the mid 70's. The "Brides" consisted of Lynn Mabry and Dawn Silva, later Sheila Horne and Jeanette McGruder replaced Lynn Mabry. This is the first of their albums, released in 1978. I am especially proud of the fact that 2 musicians of this amazing album play on my Saxify: Michael Hampton (guitar) and Rodney "Skeet" Curtis (bass). Check out the whole album on Youtube:
