Jam Of The Day: "Which Way Is Up" by Stargard This is a jam that I don't have yet but am looking for. It is funky as hell. I did a thread a few months ago asking what the name of a particular Pointer Sisters song was that sounded like it came out in the disco era. As it turns out, it wasn't the Pointer Sisters at all, it was Stargard. These girls sound like the Pointer Sisters but the music sounds like the Brothers Johnson.
Anybody into this one? Andy is a four letter word. | |

I got into the tune because it was part of what I consider...
...Richard Pryor's funniest movie. The fact that Norman Whitfield had a little something to do with the tune didn't hurt either.

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 I heard the song for the very first time a few months ago. I didn't know it was from a movie. Now I know where to start looking to find it...on the soundtrack. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Unless you're willing to pay an import price for the 45... 
...this might be the way to roll. Or you could just download that single tune from iTunes/Yahoo/Rhapsody.

That was the jam. I think the Pointer Sisters song that you are reminded of is Believe In Something, the song they sang in Car Wash. Somehwat similar imo. "when Im in those arms of yours I'm so gone"-With U/Janet | |

Anybody into this one?  Love that tune!!! While you're searching, see if you find another Stargard jam , called "Runnin From the Law" - That was Slammin', too!!" I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 I did an internet search and came up with that CD. I read the tracklist and I have damn near everything else on it already. However, I have seen that CD in stores so I will probably end up getting it. It won't be the first time I've bought compilations duplicating songs I already have just to get one song I don't have.

"Believe Something" is the reason I thought "Which Way Is Up" was The Pointer Sisters. I heard it once on the radio and couldn't remember the name of the song. I checked a Pointer Sisters compilation I already had to see if I had skipped over the song, then I bought two more Pointer Sisters compilations hoping it was on there.

I would probably get that particular compilation instead of "Disco Gold" but I haven't seen it in stores. I know what's in these stores in my area because the compilation section is usually the first place I head to, to find rare jams. The albums by the artists are usually out of print.

Another great jam by Stargard is Star Boppin. I first heard the DJ in a Los Angeles Record Store (old VIP Records on Crenshaw) in the 1970s and thought it had to be a P-Funk record. Turned out it was Stargard. Which Way Is Up is cool, but a little disco-y for me. Star Boppin is slamming. Anyone familiar with it?
Scott If you've got funk, you've got style. | |
