| By the time of 1972's Oh Girl, relatively little remained of the |
| fusion of boppish jazz and bluesy soul that had powered the early |
| Young-Holt Unlimited recordings. They were still doing a soul-jazz |
| fusion, but much more funk and, indeed, fusion (in the electric jazz |
| sense) were coloring their approach. While in these senses the group |
| was keeping pace with changes in instrumental soul and jazz, Oh Girl |
| is an erratic and not terribly impressive record. |
| |
| Side one is devoted entirely to covers, with the reading of the |
| Chi-Lites' "Oh Girl" just a little reminiscent of the "Soulful Strut" |
| days. Otherwise, the selection of material on the "covers" side was |
| almost ridiculously eclectic, from Allen Toussaint's "Yes We Can Can" |
| (predating the Pointer Sisters' hit with the song) and the Blues |
| Magoos' "Can't Get Enough of You" (actually one of the better tracks) |
| to Randy Weston's "Hi-Fly" and Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway's |
| "Where Is the Love?" |
| |
| Side two is devoted entirely to original material, but it's similar |
| to side one in how it veers from almost lounge-ish |
| soul-jazz-fusion-funk to cuts with a sharper edge. The smoldering |
| guitar on "Food Stamps" and the sullen funk bounce of "Rubber Lips" |
| make those cuts stand out, but otherwise this is only passable, and |
| sometimes dull, background-quality instrumental music. |
| |
| |
| Produced by Michael Cuscuna. |
| Recorded by Harry Maslin & Paul Serrano. |
| |
| Tracks 1-2 & 10 were recorded at P.S. Studios, Chicago in May, 1972. |
| All the other selections were recorded at The Hit Factory, New York |
| in August, 1972. |
