**From Jacksons To Jackasses****
Well everyone knows the Jackson family story yada yada yo..blah blah blah. Enough of the banter. I've had the Dancin' Machine Lp for ages but last month I pulled it out & came across "What You Don't Know" which is a song that I love but forgot about...you know what I mean right?

*Wide World of Classy Funk Via New Jersey*
Instant Funk is one of the better groups out of the 70's. Most of the records I have from their catalog are on the ever so giving Salsoul label. This band shared their sound before they formed as back up musicians for the Manhattans, Lou Rawls, Evelyn King, O'Jays, MFSB & Curtis Mayfield among others.
Hailing from Jersey they relocated to Philly where they released their first Lp called "Get Down With the Philly Jump" . The group followed this album up with a release for former MFSB guitarist Norman Harris' new record label Gold Mind entitled "Let Me Party With You". When Gold Mind folded they when on to Salsoul where the Larry Levan remixed "I Got My Mind Made Up" hit #1 on both the R&B and disco charts and #20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1979. The group's eponymous first album on Salsoul was also a hit, reaching #1 R&B and being certified gold disc status.
This song is a bit loungy & swank. It's called "Wide World Of Sports"..

**France Joli=Canada's Greatest Disco Asset**
Miss Gonna Get Over You still does her thing performing regularly. The Canadian native has a string of wonderful Disco records that were released on Prelude in the late 70's & early 80's.
Her first single (released when she was 16) was "Come to Me," and it hit #1 on the US Dance chart in 1979. On the Billboard Hot 100, it was her biggest mainstream hit, breaking the Top 20 at #15. This song is called "Playboy" & it thumps along with her suave voice!
Here's a clip of her performing "Come To Me"
