Ripple (2021 Remastering)

Seminal rare groove funk and deep soul album originally released in 1973 on GRC Records, now released 50 years later on Soul Jazz Records in this fully remastered edition of this CLASSIC album for RSD Black Friday. Ripple's unique blend of funk, soul, rock, proto-disco and more stood them alongside groups like Funkadelic, Brass Construction, Mandrill, Pleasure, Kool and the Gang, and The Blackbyrds, who were all blending these styles while remaining firmly focused on the dancefloor. Like the group Funkadelic, Ripple hailed from Michigan, and in 1976 opened for the group on their Parliament/Funkadelic Mothership Connection tour. The self-titled album Ripple contains the all-time classic "I Don't know What It Is, But It Sure Is funky", one of the most memorable funk tunes of all time, sampled many times over. This classic album has been out of print for nearly 30 years on vinyl and is now fully remastered and presented here with its original artwork. SIDE A 1. You Were Right On Time 2. Be My Friend 3.
