Description:
Before the full-blown neo-soul explosion, The Sugarman 3’s “Funky So-And-So” stood as a statement of authenticity — a throwback to the days when funk was played, not programmed. Driven by live drums, Hammond organ vamps, and Neal Sugarman’s melodic sax work, the track is pure dance-floor heat in under four minutes.

Echoing the classic instrumentals of Booker T. & The MG’s and The JB’s, “Funky So-And-So” became a favorite in DJ sets across Europe and Japan’s funk circuit, with its punchy breakbeat and crisp analog sound also making it a sampling target for underground hip-hop producers.

A benchmark release in the evolution of the Daptone legacy, “Funky So-And-So” is a bridge between traditional funk structure and the modern breakbeat sensibility that defined the late ’90s soul revival.
