Description:
The split single “Not That Girl / No Trouble On The Mountain” pairs Fethawit’s soulful delivery with Richard “Groove” Holmes’ jazz-inflected organ mastery. Released in 1975, it bridges smooth, spiritual soul and earthy jazz-funk textures.
Holmes’s “No Trouble On The Mountain” stands out as a deeply grooving instrumental — built around gospel-infused organ chords, crisp drums, and warm analog basslines. The song has become a sought-after sample source for hip-hop producers, prized for its rich tone and deep pocket, and has appeared in various underground beat projects inspired by the golden age of sample-based production.
This 7″ remains a cult favorite for crate diggers, embodying both the soul and spirituality that defined mid-’70s groove music.
