"Stokin'"

Miss Dolores Funk’ b/w ‘Stokin’ on San Francisco’s Galaxy label. The Galaxy label itself had some hits (by Rodger Collins and Little Johnny Taylor) as well as a bunch of other non-hit, but extremely high quality sides by Merl Saunders and Bobby Rush among others. Who Ferguson and his Groove Tones were, and where they were from, remains a mystery (Galaxy was San Francisco based, but released records by artists from all over the country). What is not mysterious is how good this 45 is. Both tracks are great but my preference goes to "Stokin'", that's why I chose to upload & share it here.
