The excellent new film, "Lovelace," captures the moods and tones of the 1970s with the help of 3 Jamie recordings: John Ellison & The Soul Brothers Six's " Funky Funky Way of Makin' Love ," The People's Choice's "Oh How I Love It," and L.J. Waiters and the Electrifiers' " If You Ain't Gettin' Your Thing. " It stars a wide-eyed and innocent-looking Amanda Seyfried as Linda Lovelace, star of "Deep Throat" -- the "Gone With the Wind" of pornographic films.
June 13, 2013 By Peter Crimmins, @petercrimmins Buy it now. The Philadelphia Sound first gained traction in 1965 with "Yes, I'm Ready," a song written in about 10 minutes in the Francisville neighborhood by a lovesick teenager named Barbara Mason. I don't even know how to hold your handJust to make you understand…
John Ellison's Up From Funk covers the 50-year history of The Soul Brothers Six and John Ellison, its lead singer and songwriter.
This 2-CD set includes remakes of his earliest songs, like “I Need You Yes I Do” and his notable Atlantic release, “You Better Check Yourself,” to new songs in his inimitable style, rhythm and good sense.
If John Ellison did not single-handedly drive soul into funk and add a little Gospel to the mix, he was certainly one of the pioneers who took R&B out of the studio and formed self-contained bands to open the new and exciting era of funk. His now classic R&B turned rock anthem, “(She’s) Some Kind of Wonderful,” gave the initial kick-start to his 50-year career in the music business.Now hear highlights of an exciting and unique artist, still at the top of his game after 50 years.
