Billy John & The Continentals / Po’ Boy – Slap It To Me / I Wanna Dance
Year Released: 1968
Genre: Soul / Funk / Instrumental Groove
Description:
Issued on Soul Power Records in 1968, this split single pairs Billy John & The Continentals’ “Slap It To Me” with Po’ Boy’s “I Wanna Dance.” Both sides are raw, organ-driven funk instrumentals with heavy drums and syncopated guitar — the kind of deep-cut 45 prized by DJs and sample hunters for decades.
“Slap It To Me” in particular became a breakbeat favorite during the 1980s UK rare-groove scene, later sampled by producers in underground hip-hop and funk-edits culture for its open drum intro and heavy rhythm section. While it never charted, the record’s gritty, lo-fi production gives it lasting appeal among collectors of deep funk rarities.
