The dark end of the street
Man, if Sesame Street sounded this groovy, we’d still be at home, sitting on the couch watching TV! Think of the album as kind of an alternative take on the Sesame Street sound of the early days — one that went past the easy multiculturalism of Gordon and Maria, into a style that was much more righteous — and handled in a socking 70s soul mode! The group are a vocal quintet with a solid harmony sound — working here in a blend of funk, soul, and mellower numbers — initially recasting versions of Sesame Street hits, but eventually moving into some of their own numbers on the second side of the album. Highlights include the group’s own funky classic “The Cat Walk” — a loping slow funk groover that we’ve loved for years as a funky 45, and which is worth the price of the album alone — plus their snapping drum remake of the Sesame classic “Come On & Get It”. Other tracks include “Soul Children Flower Children”, “Time Will Tell”, “It’s Love I Feel Inside”, and “What Happened To The Vows We Made” — plus versions of “Sesame Street” and “Rubber Duckie”. — Dusty Groove

Soul train
Al Green(e) and the Soul Mates. (1968) This is Reverend Al’s first LP and his first hit song – “Back Up Train”. This is the rare first cover that was re-released in 1972 with a low budget alternate cover.
Al Green would be on my desert island list for sure. Anytime, anywhere I hear an Al Green song, and no matter how often I’ve heard it, I feel at home.
