Señor Soul • Funky Favorites



Extracto de Señor Soul: "Miss Daisy on the groove"
... No fue Señor Soul sino otra de las muchas bandas de latin soul que pusieron banda sonora a las noches de discoteca de los adolescentes de finales de los sesenta, sin mayor trascendencia que la de ir de la barra a la pista de baile y de la pista de baile a la barra al ritmo de versiones funk de los éxitos soul y rock contemporáneos. En el periodo que va de 1967 a 1970, Señor Soul se dedicaba a continuar un camino emprendido como Creators, ignota banda de R&B especializada en versiones, adaptando su estilo de raíz en el blues y el jazz a los ritmos latinos que los músicos negros escuchaban en los guettos no segregados de la ciudad de Los Angeles. Después se dieron a conocer como los Romeos, pero como tampoco se comieron ni una rosca, y mientras más y más músicos entraban y salían de la formación, pasaron a llamarse Señor Soul y después Nightshift, completando un recorrido iniciático que no trascendería sino con la siguiente encarnación: War...

Biography by Richie Unterberger
Senor Soul recorded some fair soul music, usually though not always instrumental, in 1967-70 with Latin and funk tinges. That's the kind of music that War took to the top of the charts in the 1970s, and the similarities between the two bands aren't a coincidence. War's Chuck Miller was in Senor Soul, and though for most of their recording career he seems to have been the only future War member involved, it also seems likely that War actually plays on the final Senor Soul single. That single, 1970's "Don't Lay Your Funky Trip on Me"/"I Ain't Got No Soul Today (What It Is, Y'All)," bears a writing credit nearly identical to the original lineup of War: Harold Brown, Howard Scott, B.B. Dickerson, Lonnie Jordan, Lee Oskar, and Chuck Miller. The sound of these vocal numbers, too, is quite similar to early War's material. Most of what Senor Soul did, however, on their sole LP and several 45s was instrumental, and in a funk-soul-jazz vein, heavy on covers of contemporary hits.
