Also, the Hip-O comps have the songs split up into multiple parts (which makes sense, since that's how they were issued as singles). So "Make It Funky" fades in and out about seven times.

Search: Soul Syndrome, from 1980. I haven't heard enough of his post-197whatever catalogue to determine whether the bulk of it is indeed crap or not, but this one's a blast. "Funky Men" is an absolute jam. "Smokin' and Drinkin'" (he's anti-them) is hilarious.
Christgau likes the album too, if that's worth anything.
