about

The Emotional Rescue reissue series of Noel Williams aka King Sporty working with other artists and singers on the Konduko label’s roster comes to completion with the deep funk disco of The Prolifics’ Boy Child.

Formed in 1970 as part of “Senator” Nolan Jones’ New Orleans soul and funk label Hep’ Me Records, the bands early deep southern soul saw them release a series of 7”s for Hep’ Me and Avco, plus an Xmas single for EMI and the minor hit A Place Called Home, recorded at the infamous Muslce Shoals studios, backed by the Rhythm Section band who, from the early 60s, turned out hit after hit, from When A Man Loves A Women to Brown Sugar.

Landing on the newly inked Drive label, set up in ’72 by Henry Stone as a sub label of his burgeoning T.K Records empire, their developing move in to funk saw them featured alongside Funky Nassau, Jimmy Castor and Peter Brown. It is here the connection with Noel Williams was formed. While putting together the “Konduko Six Pack” showcase album, the band were invited to the Miami Sound Studios for sessions that brought us both title cut Boy Child and the accompanying You Got Me.

All brass and claps, Boy Child is as funky as Williams got, backing the groups soul vocals, a story of first born’s energetic path in life and a mothers love. The backing from Deep Rockers band bring the swing, the trippy keys and wide bottom end has made this a secret drop for many. You Got Me on the other hand is true King Sporty, a driving 9-minute disco boogie cut, where the warm harmonies lay down this uplifting, killer dance floor drop.

To close, the flip is again given over for reinterpretation, welcoming back Felix Dickinson to expertly cut, loop and dub. A special personal song for Dickinson, his subtle extension teases the intro for DJ play, before letting things fly – “the little show-off” as the song notes. With a near 30-year DJ and production career in place, his Discomix is a fitting way to complete this cycle of reissues of this benchmark label, for now.
