Peace !!!
I don't know what it is about Ruby Jane, she always casts a spell on the shows whenever she guests on WEFUNK, haha. Spellbinding stuff from the Isley Brothers, George Clinton and the 'I can't move no mountains' cut - wow! RIP to Pee Wee Ellis and the mad bad and brilliant Melvin van Peebles, love the Three Boxes of Longs, Please cut, what a gem of a find.
Big love as ever from the UK 👍
