GETTOKITTY/STANDUPANDBECOUNTED/HOPEFORTHEFUTURE(7")
The sole single by Ghetto Kitty is reissued! Early important works by Weldon Irvine miraculously reissued! This is the world's first reissue in the original 7-inch format of superb killer funk from Ghetto Kitty, a band formed by Weldon and his band, who was also active in Nina Simone's band!
Weldon Irvine, a legendary musician loved across generations and genres, from the jazz/soul scene of the 70s to the club/rare groove scene from the 90s onwards, was known for his involvement as a band member and musical director for Nina Simone. Now, the sole single by Ghetto Kitty, formed with members of that band, is finally reissued in its original 7-inch format!
Produced by Nina Simone's partner, Andy Stroud, and released in 1972 on Stroud Records, Nina Simone's private label known for its series of releases, this work was released in the same year as Weldon Irvine's first album "Liberated Brother." It is extremely valuable material that traces the early footsteps of Weldon Irvine, who, after his activities with Nina Simone from the late 60s, launched his own label, Nodlew Music, in the early 70s to release his own works!
The sound is, of course, superb. It begins with an intro where a thick brass section, mellow electric piano, and light percussion intertwine and layer, leading into a rare groove-filled, superb killer funk driven by the interplay of powerful and soulful male and female twin vocals!
