Classic early Desco release -- one of the first times the deep funk underground heard the amazing talents of Joseph Henry!
"Who's The King" is a hard-strutting number that features choppy guitar underneath tightly blasting horns -- a really wicked tune that rolls along at a mighty fast pace.
Joseph Henry sadly died in early December last year. Daptone Records have re-released this 45 that first came out just a few years back on the now-defunct NYC-based Desco label, a record label that was seminal in kick-starting interest in new funk for the new millennium with the likes of Lee Fields, Sugarmen 3 and Naomi Davis.
This is probably the best funk 45 to have come out the resurgence of interest in recording retro funk and it is a lasting testament to Joseph Henry.
