Cleveland Eaton

Early fusion pioneer from Chicago recorded the excellent disco song "Bama boogie woogie" in 1976; highly recommended, and an early 12" single on Ovation records. Includes Brass Construction-style chanting. Also listen for "Birmingham train", and the "Theme from Shaft"-styled "Chi-town theme".

Eaton's records were distributed by the Miracle and Gull labels in the UK.
