Charles Wright and The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band (Aka, “Hot Heat and Sweet Groove”) (1968)   Warner Records.   Includes “Spreadin’ Honey,” and “Fried Okra”.       Bill Cosby writes the liner notes here as he brought the band to Warner Bros. after they backed him on his comedy LP “Silver Throat”.   They were the first soul group to be signed by Warner Bros.   The band’s biggest hit was “Express Yourself” which was on their second album out a year later.   Love it, love it, love it.   And what a funky cover!
