Clancy (1976) Jeka Jose - LOST70sGEMS

Clancy a British funk soul outfit's second album produced much better songs, the best of which is Jeka Jose, the squelching wah wah guitar and bleusy stabs along with a reggae organ makes this the most concise cut from the album with it's mix of Santana Latin flavour in its vocals and the jazz playing. The watery organ solo, the Hendrix influenced guitar work and Sly Stone styled ensemble group package made them a fierce contender for the Average White Band another Scottish blue eyed soul/funk act who of course succeeded  by aping Black American artists with greater flair.
