Junie - When We Do


Junie, at this time former Ohio Player, soon to be Funkadelic, released this, his first solo effort onWestbound in 1975. The music is varied, some all-out funk tracks and some tracks that reach for a pop-rock feel, but always some kind of funk lurking in the back.

Loving Arms


Tight Rope


There's no mention of other players which leads one to believe Junie is playing a lot of the instruments himself. Strings is provided by The Detroit Symphony who, when they're playing with Junie, is playing funky.
  1. Junie.
  2. Loving Arms
  3. Johnny Carson Samba
  4. The Place
  5. Anna
  6. Tight Rope
  7. You and You
  8. When We Do
  9. Married Him
  10. Walt's Third Trip

Hi Trakbuv :)

Probably you're kidding :) But if not, here's the background story:

Ohio Players as a band had left the Westbound label at the time, but Junie stayed in Westbound and kept all the concept he created by himself (Bald lady etc.) :)

Junie is the baddest - he doesn't get the props he deserves for his services to funky music.

@NRO - didn't know he came up with the concept (did he have a thing for mannequins, I wonder ? ;.)) - although guessed it was a Westbound thang, the Ohios having gone all Mercurial - many thanks for the info
