I've only seen Jim Mullen play once, it was a Sunday afternoon gig playing with his Jazz outfit at The Lion, Basford, Nottingham. It was quite a while ago though.

TheGreek Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 IMO EW&F would have more of a following if they didn't have the falsetto vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all respect Mick im not sure about that. One of the greatest bands of all time. They have the biggest following of any soul funk band of all time.

lowdown Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I think I first heard EWF down at 'The Cats Whiskers' in Streatham around '74/75. A great place for Disco and Philly music: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes me back to the Half Moon in Putney where I saw them twice back in the mists of time. Used to have Badness, Life on the Wire and It's About Time on vinyl. Must try and get hold of any CDs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me some time to get used to Phillip Bailey's falsetto before I eventually did, well at least on the uptempo tunes like Serpentine Fire. I still skip those ballads where he's the principal vocalist. I'm not a fan of ballads in any genre and for me these tend to spoil those albums where they account for around half the number of tracks. Funk-wise EW&F, War and the Ohio Players praps did more slower unfunky tunes than most other funk mobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
