The Southside Movement
Real Gone 1503 – re-issue LP on “clearwater blue” vinyl

This 1973 gem is another one of those obscure 70s soul-funk albums released on a small independent label that has gone on to become a crate-digging favorite and a huge inspiration to modern-day hip hop artists and beyond. Chicago-based The South Side Movement began as the backing band for the Sam & Dave-inspired soul duo Simtec & Wylie; their self-titled debut on the Scepter imprint Wandmuch of it written by Chicago label owner and producer James Vanleerscored a top 20 R&B hit with I Been Watchin You, and they went on to make a couple of other records before disbanding in the mid-70s. So, your basic one-hit wonder, right? Well, not exactlywhile The South Side Movement never reached the same level of commercial success, that one hit has been sampled byare you ready for this?The Beastie Boys, Beck, Erykah Badu, Jadakiss, and many more. The rest of the album is very tasty Windy City soul-funk, with an unexpectedly great cover of Stevie Wonders Superstition a highlight. First-ever LP reissue on its 50th anniversary, pressed in clearwater blue vinyl!
