Lou Donaldson

Description:

Alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson was going the soul-jazz route in the 1960s when he released his 16th album, Blue Note's signature funky jazz, a soul-jazz classic from 1967." The "boogaloo" was a dance beat that was popular at the time. The funky title track, which incorporates this beat, was covered in Japanese by the Japanese group "Group Sounds" and became popular worldwide. The song also features fine performances by a young George Benson and Lonnie Smith, the organist of the Benson Group.
