Today Marks The 45th Anniversary of Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers’ 4th Studio Album “Funk Express” Originally Released on April 13, 1980.
“Funk Express” is the fourth studio album by the Washington, D.C.-based go-go band Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers released in 1980 on Source Records.
Two songs were released from the album, “Sticks and Stones" and "Come On and Boogie".
"Sticks and Stones" reached #55 on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart.
"Come On and Boogie" was released as a single but failed to reach any of the Billboard charts.
Funk Express was the follow up to the “Bustin’ Loose” album was originally released in 1980.
The album precedes the Go-Go sound he later created, but you can hear the initial elements of call and response and percussion breakdowns, as well as the signature funky tight horn and rhythm section of the Soul Searchers.
