Starting with a slick, slide guitar lick and then blooming into a charming country rocker along the lines of Pure Prairie League, they mostly lacked a strong image above all else, when it came to singin, playing and writing they had it!

Funky Kings (1976) Nothing was Exchanged - LOST 70s GEMS
A laid back country rock song by the Funky Kings a short lived outfit bolstered by three extraordinary singer songwriters; essentially left overs form the early 70s Troubadour scene. Most notable is Jack Tempchin, who wrote a couple Eagles hits and the classic swaying love song Slow Dancing which first appeared on this album. While they fall in the Soft Rock category they have a strong folk rock acoustic showmanship ala America and this track highlights their electric funky side too, which is good as they're allegedly kings of it.
