The Real Thing – Can You Feel The Force?/Children Of The Ghetto 7”

The sound of young Black Liverpool and probably the most commercially successful of the Brit-Funk bands.

I bought this single when it came out in 1979. Can You Feel The Force? is a decent disco cash-in on Star Wars.

Children Of The Ghetto, however, is what happens when Chris and Eddie Amoo hear Gil Scott-Heron and see the Toxteth riots. A fucking awsome piece of protest jazz-soul, which fades out too soon. I later bought the 12” so I could have a longer version, but nope – it’s the same length.
