THE SISTER AND BROTHERS - YEAH, YOU RIGHT


Here's a super funky entry cut in Baton Rouge, Louisiana...So funky you can practically feel 100% humidity and smell fried crawfish cookin' while the needle cuts through the record!

The "sister" here is singer Geraldine Richards who lays it DOWN thick with vocals full of attitude and sass. Just the kinda thing that goes straight to my gut! The "brothers" may or may not be a group called Cold Gritz who were a super funky white group.

What a JAM!!!!!!

from 1969...

Actually it's Geraldine 'Sister Gerry' Richard (no s at the end) from Baton Rouge.She sang the powerful backing vocals on Memphis Slim's 1975 album 'Goin' Back to Tennessee'.
There's a small picture of here included in the art work of the album.

Great Sound, and what a great name for a recording studio. You just know it's got to be good!

And for all y'all uninitiated, "yeah, you right," is a common Nawlins/Louisiana expression.

Is there any way you could put this up again. I'm from Baton Rouge and loved their stuff and that of Cold Gritz. Thanks.
