Description:
Erma Franklin’s “Big Boss Man / Don’t Catch The Dog’s Bone,” released in 1969 on Brunswick Records, captures her commanding blend of gospel roots and gritty R&B energy. “Big Boss Man” — a funky reworking of Jimmy Reed’s blues classic — showcases Franklin’s powerhouse voice over a driving, syncopated groove, while “Don’t Catch The Dog’s Bone” brings playful attitude and raw Southern-soul fire.

Though it flew under the mainstream radar, this 7″ remains a cult favorite among Northern Soul and R&B DJs, admired for its toughness, dance-floor bite, and Erma’s unmistakable vocal authority.
