Joni Adams and the Fenderman 70, Las Vegas (Zodiac)


One of our favourite funk 45s, Joni Adams absolutely nails this track (hit 'play' on the video below to hear for yourself). This Zodiac label is out of Miami, not to be confused with the Chicago label of the same name (home to the Creations, A Dream, another big Soulful Strut spin).

The track is taken from a rare, privately-pressed album called Miami to Las Vegas, featuring artists and songs from, you guessed it, Miami and Las Vegas.

Flip it over and you get an intriguing medley called Going Back to Miami by Dave Taylor and the Clique, also taken from the Miami to Las Vegas LP, which manages to sandwich a brief version of the Temptations classic Get Ready between a fairly pedestrian soul/r'n'b call-and-response workout.

We don't know if Joni recorded any other tracks, but if she did, it's hard to imagine her eclipsing this funk juggernaut ...
