tripping on YELLOW SUNSHINE

the 1973 debut album by YELLOW SUNSHINE is a 70s soul/funk dream date. philly session guys getting down on some rock and psychedelic influences without loosing the groove. like a smoother p-funk is about as close as I can get to describing this...basically I'm like where has this album been all my life? maybe everybody else knows it but damn it's great...

Funk rock group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Formed in 1972 or 1973 by the brothers Karl Chambers (drums) and Roland Chambers (guitar) together with Lester Young (percussion) and Idres Young (bass). Dexter Wansel (keyboards) and Ron Harding (sax) joined the band later.

They recorded only one album, Yellow Sunshine, that did not bring them quite the success they had hoped for. The band was disbanded when Dexter Wansel joined Gamble & Huff's creative staff, and Karl and Roland Chambers joined MFSB.

I like the album cover and the matching suits. I can't say I care for the music much though.
