“My music was party music. I wanted the people to get the feeling of the music as a party. I wanted it always to feel like it was recorded live in some place. That’s why we have that kind of sound.”
–Bill Curtis, founder and drummer of The Fatback Band
One of the best-kept secrets of the early ‘70s, Let’s Do It Again is a classic feel-good party album loaded with some of the tightest instrumental funk jams around. Released in 1972, the album gave The Fatback Band its first successful single, “Street Dance.” An infectious in-the-pocket vamp that crosses the danceable grooves of the Meters and the JB’s with the driving Memphis soul of the Stax Horns, “Street Dance” hits its delirious high with a funk-jazz flute solo by future Charles Mingus band member George Adams.
