Just listening to the Cheques - "Deeper " on Heatwave, makes me wonder, are there many tracks on the scene that feature whistling?

Otis Redding "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay" springs to mind... Funky Sisters "Do It To It" (AURORA) obviously.

I nominate the Funky Sisters as THE Northern record for rare and obscure whistlers!

Thank God for Rufus and Carla.

Firstly for being so totally brilliant.

And their other legacy of course. I believe they pretty much had the first hit records on Stax. Maybe without them the label wouldn't have lasted . . . . . and all that came after . . . . . !!

I've done a 'whistling' track called '14 to 7'. It is a good 5 years old now, but features a Philly style hi hat loop, gutitar and Detroit style Uriel Jones/Pistol Allen drum fills. It takes a while to gather speed, but once it gets there........:

I'm sure that howling is just one small evolutionary step back from whistling.....
