Sarah James and The Soul Babies "Takin' Care of Business" (Faro, 1967): NY Night Train Party Platter

This supercharged soul whippit comes from Eddie Davis’ legendary Faro Records who, along with the rest of the Rampart Records umbrella, are responsible for the most unique and exciting music of the 1960s - East L.A. brown-eyed soul and chicano rock! Chick Carlton and Delbert Franklin of the Atlantics, Majestics, and other Eastside royalty get the writing credit here. EastLAreview.com says that Sarah James was a popular 1960s LA singer/pianist who regularly gigged at Eddie Davis’ Night Club in Hollywood but there's not much else out there to be found. Listen to that mighty mighty wind blowing from her lungs and feel her power! Soul sister! What happened to Sarah James? Barry White can be heard on Congas and the Soul Babies, featuring members of The Sa-Shays, aren’t the band but rather the backup singers… Hear this one and more at Saturday’s Soul Clap and Dance-Off at the Regent Theater in beautiful Downtown Los Angeles! graphics by AVI SPIVAK (http://www.avispivak.com)! You're listening to my daily addition to the New York Night Train Party Platter playlist. Each track here is recorded directly from the original 45 (no bootlegs, reproductions, etc) to give you an idea of what the real deal authentic vinyl sounds like. COME BACK EVERY DAY FOR A NEW FIX! Because the records pass so quickly at my dance parties, this channel is an attempt to stop and focus on one record at a time in hopes that it'll turn you on to the artists, tracks, labels, etc. I'm just hipping myself to a lot of these records for the first time as well - so you can view this as our journey to learning more about cool old records together! But mostly I hope this music moves you as much as it moves me.
