Originally Released on United Artists, this album has long been in demand and whilst relatively unknown is one of the best albums of its style. funky soul from Hidden Strength — an uptempo 70s group with a very tight groove! The group are clearly in the mode of Earth Wind & Fire — extremely proficient instrumentally, grooving together in a righteous style that has plenty of jazz, but which is also going for a more straight ahead soul-based approach. Hidden Strength are best known for their classic groover “Hustle On Up (Do The Bump)” — a killer track with a nice funky bus stop groove and some great moog — but the whole album’s pretty darn sweet… Roy Herring : chant, chœurs Alvin Brown : basse, chœurs Al Thomas : batterie, percussions, chœurs Groover Underwood : Fender Rhodes piano, clavinet, orgue, Moog bass, vibes, chœurs Ken Sullivan : piano acoustique, solo orgue (B4), solo Moog (B2), clavinet, cordes, chœurs Robert Leach : saxophone ténor, chœurs Ray Anderson : trombone, chœurs, conga, percussions
