cool I've always dug Gary Grainger's bass line on the intro of "In The Pocket".
The "Come Go With Us" LP is my fav-O-rite, Albert McKinney vocals were on point.

I remember posting In the Pocket back in October and
got no responses i guess because maybe a lot of orgers
weren't familiar with them. They had some good songs
but no major breakthrough hits. Yes that opening bassline
will give you the stank face.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

I'm familiar with them lol I think one of the guys in EW&F (Verdine White?) produced their firsrt album,if I'm not mistaken.But yeah,they are a 70s band that most people aren't aware of.

Verdine White produced the "Come Go With Us" & "So Delicious" albums. I still remember my older brother buying the single off the former.

I like both versions of Pasado...It was originally done in '76, by the Stairsteps, then Pockets did their hit cover, in 77...

Pasado - Pockets' version




Pasado - Original 'Stairsteps' version
