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.
