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.
- Junie.
- Loving Arms
- Johnny Carson Samba
- The Place
- Anna
- Tight Rope
- You and You
- When We Do
- Married Him
- Walt's Third Trip

Thanks! I see Junie got custody of the bald chick!
Junie Morrison is a mad bad MF - gotta check out his debut - see he done stole the Ohios mascot for his cover !!! Many thanx Steve
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
