Reviews
- Great version of Ronny Laws "Always There" I remember hearing as a youth. I prefer it.
Sorry Ron. - Edited 4 years agoeveryone here remembers ''Funkanova''' but is forgetting '' Always There''' remade by Side Effect
Also a great deep disco dance song 
Léo Cuenca – I Want U played by Marshall Jefferson
sampled Funkanova. Great house track!
The big hit Funkanova is familiar now, a Frankie Knuckles/Ron Hardy favorite and influence on early house, but this whole record is excellent and very forward moving for 1976. A testament to the golden years of dancefloor friendly fusions of spacey disco, funk and jazz.
