Ron Littlejohn & The Funk Embassy - Shining On

Not for me, I'm afraid! 

Some decent tracks on that EP, on first hearing my fave has to be "A Day In SanFran" ......

.... an extract from the track was put up on YouTube a good while back .........

Some very nice jazzy tones and instrumentation on some of the tracks, muted trumpet, flute etc that I love, but I find the drum sound a bit too heavy and hard and the vocals straying a bit close to Terence Trent Darby territory for my liking. I do really rate the 'Soul Devotion' track though and I like the vibe of 'San Francisco'. Generally it's just a bit heavy and clunky for me.
