    • 1. Strange Happenings
    • 2. Living In The Past

    Part of a trio of Kansas City soul sweepers, from the sprawling Midwest burg’s storied Cavern, Damon and Forte concerns.

    Bump and the Soul Stompers’ 1970 sweet soul double sider ‘I Can Remember’ was a tail pipe-dragging, low rider classic in the making, had it ever been released.

    A few years later Jerald ‘Bump’ Scott took his new Unnatural Funk Band to Cavern’s subterranean confines to cut the group harmony masterpiece 'Living In The Past’, but it remained unissued prior to Numero’s discovery of the Cavern tapes.

    As disco was cresting at the top of the next decade, Sharon Revoal tracked her James Brown meets James Bond stepper ‘Reaching For Our Star’ the last 45 released on Marva Whitney’s peerless Forte label.
