Help Is On The Way
Help Is On The Way is a perfect, sultry boogie jam by The Whatnauts. It was mixed by Tee Scott and released by Harlem International Records in 1981.
This next track is from 1982 by the Philadelphia group Fat Larry's Band. The track seems to use the the exact same bassline to great effect. Act Like You Know is a great jazz funk tune with uplifting lyrics.

Great tune! I found this 12" promoversion last year at a garage sale (along with a lot of other gems). I struggled to keep face when the guy told me all the discs were like 20 cents each.

Great song for both the disco dance floor and the uptown bronx block parties. Fresh!
