Funky16Corners

Larry Grogan is a New Orleans Soul and R&B afficionado who writes constantly inspiring stuff about his record collection.

Now there are two good reasons for name-checking the guy today.

1. He's been away from his keyboard enduring some painful sounding surgery and deserves a warm "welcome back"
   
2. His post today is about Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels "Breakout"

A thumping tune this and a firm Northern Soul favourite from the glory days. I'm pretty interested in this kind of song as it doesn't necessarily fit well into any particular category.

Sure it's well known on the Northern scene but it's far from being a straight Soul tune. Depending on your point of view "Breakout" could be on the periphery of Garage or a straight ahead Rock 'n' Roller.

Funky16Corners has an mp3 up temporarily so if you don't know it it's well worth a click.
