https://soundcloud.com/retrocapnjack/63-10-10-alan-oday-tributeThese have been readied for awhile, so I just archived them directly to MediaFire.
who'd'a thunk that Travis Wammack would be the commonality between George Jackson and Alan O'day?!?
The George Jackson credit that floored me was "The Only Way is Up" -- I knew the '80s dance version but had no idea it was written in the early '70s.
Another connection is Dobie Gray -- unfortunately, I don't have the complete "Funky Funky Feelin'" yet.
The Yazz version of "The Only Way Is Up" is in the set -- Otis Clay did the earlier version, I believe.
Okay, RGMike, I've added SoundCloud links. Enjoy!
