    Vibrant funky soul from the sunshine state by The Beginning Of The End lead singer, Raphael Munnings!

    About a year after The Beginning Of End's massive 1971 hit, "Funky Nassau", Raphael Munnings recorded a clutch of solo singles for Henry Stone's Miami label Alston Records. You know how these things go, the singles soon slipped into obscurity but lucky enough now re-issued in an umissable double-7" set by Athens Of The North!
