theblackgundam: Pulsating polyrhythms. Four-on-the-floor drum patterns. Extended "12 inch dance singles. Commercialized/polished funk - Disco - marked the decline of traditional soul/funk towards the mid-late 70's and forced everybody to play catch up. Yeah, you had the likes of Chic, Donna Summer & A Taste of Honey leading the charge, but what about the soul traditionalists? They kept true to themselves and their sound, as demonstrated here by Mr. Marvin. His '78 album "Here, My Dear" was released as compensation following a bitter divorce from Anna Gordy. Bitter, pained and at times relentlessly funky, this album grew a cult following in the years following its debut.
