Reviews:
This 1973 gem is another obscure '70s soul-funk album released on a small one independent label that has become a favorite for crate-diggers and a great inspiration for hip-hop artists today and beyond.
Chicago-based The South Side Movement began as a backing band for Sam & Dave-inspired soul duo Simtec & Wylie; their self-titled debut on the Scepter imprint Wand - written largely by Chicago label owner and producer James Vanleer - landed a Top 20 R&B hit with "I' Been Watchin' You," and they made a few more records before disbanding in the mid-'70s.
So the usual one-hit wonder, right? Well, the South Side Movement never had the same commercial success, but that one hit was sampled by the Beastie Boys, Beck, Erykah Badu, Jadakiss and many others. The rest of the album is very tasty Windy City soul-funk, with a great cover of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" a highlight.
