Description

Jet magazine called him â€œone of rhythm & bluesâ€™ most influential musicians.â€? With a career spanning 40 years, Johnny â€œGuitarâ€? Watson had success with blues, R&B and jazz. But his commercial and artistic apex came with his late â€™70s and early â€™80s funk recordings. Shout! Factory is proud to present three deluxe new editions of his classic funk albums â€“ Ainâ€™t That A Bitch, A Real Mother For Ya and Funk Beyond The Call Of Duty â€“ as part of an ongoing series in 2005 and early 2006. Previously Unreleased Bonus Tracks: 8. Funkula 9. Follow Me After his hugely successful late-â€™60s partnership with Larry Williams (â€œMercy, Mercy, Mercyâ€?), Watson had a few fallow years. But in 1976 he hit his stride with Ainâ€™t That A Bitch, a potent combination of funk rhythms, jazz keyboards and stinging blues guitar. The album made the pop charts and reached #4 on the Black charts, spurred by the success of the single â€œSuperman Lover,â€? which has been sampled numerous times by hip-hop acts like Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, and Redman. 1. I Need It 2. I Want To Ta-Ta You Baby 3. Superman Lover 4. Ain't That A Bitch 5. Since I Met You Baby 6. We're No Exception 7. Won't You Forgive Me Baby 8. Funkula 9. Follow Me
