It's been hot news in funk/soul circles: The recent discovery of Darondo's Music City master tapes. Here are 16 slices of Bay Area funk and idiosyncratic soul ballads from 1972-74 (also available on vinyl LP, though that tops out at 10 cuts). Both include his local hit Didn't I plus Gimme Some; I'm Lonely; Listen to My Song; Saving My Love; Get Up off Your Butt; I Don't Understand It, and more!
