From 1967-1980, Kansas Citys Forte Records captured nearly every iteration of popular
Black music; basement beehiver-y from The Ray-Ons and Four Darlings, funky soul from
Gene Williams Lee Harris, Louis Chachere, and The Fantastiks, downtempo disco ballads
from James Whitney and Sharon Revoal, and the newly independent work of James Browns former Soul Sister #1 Marva Whitney. Compiledhere are 28 of the labels enduring sides, contextualized with copious photos, ephemera, and essay, all housed in heavy weight gatefold jacket. Who knows how to do The Hen?
