Album Notes

If you're a fan of Marva Whitney, Betty Davis, or anything funky from the '70s, you'll love this album from Yvonne Fair.

Originally a member of a later incarnation of The Chantels, she spent time in the early ‘60s as member of The James Brown revue, recording several Brown-produced singles. Spending years on the road with Chuck Jackson, it was this R&B legend who brought the lady to Motown around 1969. After one single featuring Marvin Gaye, it took Norman Whitfield’s creative genius to bring out the best in Ms. Fair with a series of classic singles beginning in early 1974.

Her revival of the Motown standard “It Should Have Been Me” earned her a Top 5 pop hit in the UK and this album, with its classic but controversial title and cover art, was also a big seller.

Check out "Funky Music Sho Nuff Turns Me On", "Walk Out The Door If You Wanna" and "You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover" for some classic F-U-N-K!!!

Digitally remastered in 24 bit from the original Motown stereo analog masters.

Includes 20 page booklet with liner notes by A. Scott Galloway. Features many rare photos and reminiscences from Chuck Jackson, Dionne Warwick, The Commodores, Sammy Strain (The O'Jays) and Venisha Brown (Yvonne's daughter with James Brown).
