Funky Friday - Julia & Co.

Back in the early '80s when I was in college in London I hung with the soul boys and listened to a lot of acid jazz and disco. We were all hyped up when Julia & Co released Breakin' Down (Sugar Samba) in 1983 - it was a very fresh sounding tune. The song is some seriously funky soul/disco number with a huge poppin' bass line, big jumping jive horns and Julia's sassy vocal delivery telling us we "had to get up and down". I have no idea who they were - all searches of the internet have led to nothing, and I never heard anything by them after this song came out. All I know is that this tune is still funkier than ever, so turn it up and shake your groove thing!
