Ruth Copeland

All the P-Funk fans out there should get with Ruth Copeland. She had 2 albums that were killing. She used Funkadelic as her band on these albums:

Self Portrait {1969}
I am what I am {1971}
Eddie Hazel acts a fool on "Un Bel Di", "Your love been" and "Suburban Family Lament".
I am lucky 2 have "I am what I am" on wax, and i have the other on cd. If u dig early Funkadelic {like i do}, u should check Ruth Copeland albums out.

yeah, they released her two albums as a 2 for 1 cd a couple of years back, (at least, as an import from the UK), called "Ruth Copeland - Gimme Shelter (The Anthology)"...(don't know if it's still in print)...but that was the only way I could get the two albums, 'cause the originals were so hard to find...

I heard her on the first Parliament full length album Osmium, her singing sounded way over the top, but fun to listen to. I never got a chance to hear those two albums, can you burn me a copy?

Wow, this is first ( at least for me )? A mention of Ruth Copeland and P Funk. I looooovvvveeee to death the song " This Medal ". I was turned on to her music by the Uhuru Maggot, Rickey Vincent. He is an independent DJ who has a show on the radio station KPFA in Berkeley CA. He play nothing but classic funk, old and new, and I was just floored when he spun that record.

Yep, I 'm very hip 2 Rickey. He wrote the book "Funk" which is excellent.

Wow so there are people around that have heard of her and are into her !

I discovered her the usual way through Osmium cd and its liner notes.

I just have the two in one cd "Gimme Shelter" but theres some really good stuff on there.

One of my faves is actually "Thanks for the birthday card" but I cringe at the fake crying at the end.

Other faves are "The Silent Boatman" (of course), "I got a thing for you Daddy" and "Crying has made me stronger."

I dont suppose if anyone knows whether the "Take me to Baltimore" album has made it to cd ?
