Willi J & Co – Boogie With Your Baby / Rare Function – Disco Function 45 (Deptford Northern Soul Club) 7″

Two super rare and mystery-shrouded party-in-the-house sides from 1976, Willi J Coe’s Cleethorpes anthem ‘Boogie With Your Baby’ was a no-hit wonder that goes for around £100 if you can find a copy on the original short-lived Ki Ki label.

Produced by Willie J Key and arranged by Bob Holmes (Joe Tex/Freddie North/Slim Harpo) it’s a slice of funky party disco, a proper floor shaker! Rare Function’s ‘Disco Function’ was originally on Soul Unlimited in 1976 and fetches around £50 a copy these days.

Sampled by Luke Vibert in more recent times it’s a brass-stabbed party anthem with a nod to Kool And The Gang when they were funky.
