  POINTER SISTERS  Having A Party  (ABC/Blue Thumb,1977) - Soul, Funk       Having a Party  is the fourth studio album by American vocal group  the Pointer Sisters , released on November 12, 1977, by Blue Thumb Records.   It consists of seven tracks blending  funk ,  sou l,  and R&B, produced by David Rubinson & Friends, Inc., and serves as the group's final release as a  quartet  before  Bonnie Pointer  departed for a solo career.       Despite its musical strengths and the group's evolving style away from earlier retro influences toward deeper  funk  grooves,  Having a Party  underperformed commercially amid label issues and internal turmoil, peaking at number 176 on the  Billboard 200  and number 51 on the Top Soul LPs chart.   Critics have since praised its  irreverent  attitude and production, viewing it as an underrated gem in the Poin...

  MICHAEL HENDERSON  Do It All  (Buddah,1979) - Funk,Soul      Michael Henderson's  Do It All  (1980) is  a highly-regarded funk/soul album. Henderson's masterful bass work, soulful vocals, and hits like "Playing On The Real Thing," offering polished dance tracks and showcasing his versatility with energetic funk and smoother grooves, though some critics found later albums less consistent.   TRACKLIST : Playing On The Real Thing                        Everybody Wants To Know Why                        To Be Loved                        Do It All                        In The Summertime                        Wait Until The Rain     ...

  KOKO TAYLOR  The Earthshaker  (Alligator,1978) - Blues       From the opening growled notes of “Let The Good Times Roll,” the listener knows that this isn’t going to be your standard 12-bar blues album. Taylor and her band (including Pinetop Perkins on keyboards) are going to make these nine tracks an absolute celebration. Taylor and crew plow through some standards like “Spoonful” and the gender-modified “I’m A Woman” (which, ironically, pairs nicely with the Muddy Waters version of the original recorded around the same time frame), and introduce a Taylor-penned original, “Please Don’t Dog Me”. If anything, the disc might have benefited with the inclusion of more originals like this one.       Standouts? Take your pick. Obviously, choosing “Let The Good Times Roll” to open the disc was a master stroke, as was closing the album with Taylor’s trademark song “Wang Dang Doodle”. But there are others that demand your attention just as much, fro...

  JACKIE AND ROY  Time & Love  (CTI, 1972) - Jazz        With the backing of a large orchestra, lush even by arranger  Don Sebesky 's standards,  Jackie  and  Roy  front an exquisitely recorded  Creed Taylor  production that mostly falls outside the idiom of jazz into a polished, jazzy, classical/easy listening plane. More to the point, the collective taste of  Taylor  and  the Krals  is incredibly rich, for they tap into a small mother lode of scintillating contemporary material that jazz people rarely touched, then or now.

  COCHISE  Swallow Tales  (Liberty,1971) - Rock, Country rock       Cochise had neither the stylistic distinction nor the top-shelf songwriting to attract wide notice, their approach encompassing a hard rocking update of  Buddy Holly 's "Love's Made a Fool of You"; original material which somewhat recalled  the Guess Who 's rootsier side; and lightweight U.S. West Coast folk-country-rock. As far as the latter style goes, "Lost Hearts," with a light early  Love  influence, is their best effort, while "Another Day" sounds a little like a cross between  Crosby, Stills & Nash  and the early  Bee Gees , as peculiar as that mixture may seem.
