two weeks pass...

I found that "Do You Wanna Dance '70" by Freeman I talked about on the rolling obit thread...it's on Kent's Double Shot of Soul, a collection of singles released on the Double Shot and Whiz labels. It's a nice set, all obscurities chronicling the transition from Soul to Funk in LA, with several Bobby Freeman sides showing him making the jump with due aplomb. In the liner notes, Alec Palao describes DYWD70 as the song recast in the Sly Stone mold, which is a pretty apt description.

I've also since found the song on youtube, for those who don't want to take the plunge on the comp (which can be found cheaply--I got a new copy fulfilled by Amazon for $8):
