Happy to be back with another Musical Episode. This week’s mix is a collection of funky and soulful 45s mostly from the late 60s and early 70s. This mix features some instrumentals, lots of big drum breaks and plenty of slinky grooves that I hope you enjoy.
It’s been a little slow in getting mixes up but happy to say I have podcasts scheduled for the next two weeks after this one, a new mix of girl group 45s and another upbeat soul/R&B mix after that so check back in if you’re looking for some nice 45s!
Peace,
