The Beginning of the End was a funk group from Nassau, Bahamas. The group consisted of three brothers and a fourth member on bass. They released an album entitled Funky Nassau in 1971 on Alston Records (a subsidiary of Atlantic Records), and the track "Funky Nassau - Part I" became a hit single in the U.S., peaking at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and #7 on the Billboard Black Singles chart. The same track reached #31 in the UK Singles Chart in March 1974.
thanks for bringing the memories of 1971 back to us. I still have my orginal 45 but others havent heard this in 40 years Im sure

Mini skirts, maxi skirts and afro hair do's. One of my favorite songs ever. I loved that it show cased various instruments in the band. Just like Sly in "Dance to the Music" and Archie Bell in "Tighten Up".
