Willie and the Mighty Magnificents - Play That Funky Beat

Willie & the Mighty Magnificents were a New Jersey-based funk ensemble led by
guitarist/vocalist Willie Feaster, who recorded for Joe and Sylvia Robinson's All
Platinum label family. Initially completed by bassist/keyboardist Val Burke and
drummer Arnold Ramsey, the group had a harder, deeper, more Southern-tinged
sound than the smooth soul artists who tended to dominate the label's output.
Willie & the Mighty Magnificents issued their first single, "Check It Baby," in 1968
and followed it the next year with the cult funk classic "Funky 8 Corners." Further
single releases over 1969-1970 included "Play That Funky Beat" (originally titled
"Concerto in F"), "Make Me Your Slave" b/w "Soulin'," and "Think Funky." Their first
full-length album, On Scene '70, featured some of those previous singles.
Saxophonist Tyrone Johnson became a member of the group, and Skip McPhee and
Ronnie Pace also filled the drum chair at various points. A second LP, Very Soulful,
was released in 1972. The group also issued records under the name Willie & West,
including the single "Get Away From Me Girl"; there was also a Willie & West LP, At Their Best.
