Van McCoy’s “Soul Improvisations” is the work of a man whose music ranged from Doowop to Disco, Soul, and serious Bboy Funk. Known for singles such as Disco Hit “The Hustle”, Van McCoy released this Bboy jamster in 1974 and it only gets fresher:
Some bio on Van McCoy from Soul Walking:
In the early 1970s, Van began a long time collaboration with songwriter/producer, Charles Kipps, arranging several hits for the soul group The Stylistics, as well as releasing his own solo LP on Buddah, ‘Soul Improvisations’, in 1972.
A single called ‘The Hustle’ . . . went to the very top of both the Billboard pop and R&B charts and won a Grammy, followed by a nomination for the parent album.
The song was the last track penned for the album and took around an hour to write.
