(The J.B’s – Hot Pants Road)

today’s top ranking 1972 cut is courtesy of the hardest working band in show business, none other than the J.B’s with a tune that epitomises Funk. BIG on London’s, Rare Groove, dancefloors back in 1986/7 (probable line up)

* Fred Wesley – trombone
* Jimmy Parker – alto saxophone
* St. Clair Pinckney – tenor saxophone
* Bobby Byrd – organ
* Hearlon “Cheese” Martin – guitar
* Robert Coleman – guitar
* Fred Thomas – bass
* John “Jabo” Starks – drums
* Johnny Griggs – congas
