Early Modern Notes

Eddie Bo died a few days ago. Perhaps most of you have never heard of him. Now you have a chance to remedy that situation, since my favourite funk and soul music blogs have been posting a plethora of tracks and tributes.

Funky 16 Corners, oh my:
Eddie Bo and the Chain Gang Disco Party
Eddie Bo in Soulville
If it’s Good to You, it’s Good for You
Three Faces of Check Your Bucket. (If you’re going to listen to one record to find out what I’m on about, make it this one. Who needs James Brown anyway?)
Eddie and his Heavy Friends
Pass out the Hatchets One Last Time
Eddie Bo 1930-2009 (Or maybe it should be the track featured here, Hook and Sling. So hard to choose…)

Also:
Eddie Bo is gone
RIP Eddie Bo
