Description:

Originally released on Desco Records in 1998 and reissued by Daptone Records in 2006, “Who’s The King (You Know That’s Me)” is a modern take on classic funk and soul aesthetics, channeling the tight grooves and brassy swagger of late-’60s and early-’70s Southern soul. Joseph Henry’s commanding vocals drive the track, backed by punchy horn stabs, syncopated drums, and a taut rhythm section that keeps the energy elevated from start to finish.

The track’s confident, playful attitude — essentially a musical declaration of prowess — makes it a standout for collectors of contemporary soul and funk with a vintage sensibility. Its production deliberately evokes the analog warmth and tight arrangements of the era it draws inspiration from, bridging past and present in a way that resonates with DJs, crate-diggers, and modern soul enthusiasts alike.
