Previously unreleased Funk from 1985 by Youngstown Ohio's Billy Jenkins. Billy "Bassman's" name is relatively unknown amongst the Funk legends out of Dayton, but his music stands the test of time. Spacey ambient synths & Electro-Boogie-Funk, this is '85 at it's finest. Billy Jenkins was a member of the group Babie Brother that released one 45 single on the Rock-A-Bye Label in 1984. The single "Trance" had a music video with it that is so strange and funky it's difficult to describe. The group consisted of members of the group from the Baby Brother band that released one album on Atlantic Records. Limited Edition Hand-Stamped pressing of 300 copies. A full-length album of Billy's work is due out on Family Groove Records later this year.
