George Benson With The Harlem Underground Band - Erotic Moods - LP (1978) Paul Winley - CD (2009) Paul Winley/TEG (FLAC) - Soul/Jazz

 This is the reissue of this infamous "X-Rated" funk LP, recorded during the series of 1976-1978 Paul Winley studio sessions that also resulted in the Harlem Underground Band's album that has been posted up previously. Smokey vocals, light and funky guitar workouts, and the hilarious, perfect first-date song "Sweet Taste Of Love," featuring overdubbed orgasmic groaning from... who knows? ...Ann Winley ?. Allegedly recorded in 1966 with a young George Benson who twelve years later sued label owner Paul Winley to halt the use of the tapes. Although Mr. Benson won the case it was already a bit too late as this hazed out ode to smoking reefer would furnish a break for hip hop's burgeoning breakbeat culture.
