Get on Down With Johnny Williams!

Johnny Williams - The Breaking Point

Today's post is the last of the Twinight posts for the week. Johnny Williams' 1971 Philadelphia International hit "Slow Motion (Pt. 1)" was his only hit, but before he hooked up with Gamble and Huff in Philly he had knocked around Chicago and scored releases on Twinight that went nowhere. "Breaking Point" is a nice funky thing with great horn charts and a nice guitar riff in the verses. Get on down with it!

About "Get on Down" and "Soul on the Air"

Although "Get on Down with the Stepfather of Soul!" was conceived as a rare soul blog, it has evolved into being the Web's best source for '60s and '70s soul radio broadcasts, known as airchecks, thanks to the "Soul on the Air" series. With that in mind, the original blog concept has been retired (see this blog post for more information). This blog is now dedicated to the "Soul on the Air" features, which are listed below. Enjoy!
