Song
Who Knows Who? by Orgone

Back story
Orgone is a Los Angeles-based funk ‘revival’ band on one of my favorite independent labels, Ubiquity Records.  They were primarily a backing band until meeting vocalist Fanny Franklin in 2001, when they started recording both covers and original material.  Their musicianship is top-notch, and they are finally getting some recognition.

Why this song
This song is taken from their debut 2007 release, The Killion Floor, featuring vocalist Fanny Franklin.  It has a vintage vibe that immediately draws you in.  Horn accents, scratchy guitar, and sassy vocals built around a simple mid-tempo groove make for a very accessible yet musical treat.  If you can sit through the entire song without moving to the beat, I’ll buy you a cup of coffee.  Well, not really.

I prefer Lala’s audio streams, but this song isn’t available, so I’m trying Rhapsody. Let me know if you have problems.  Just in case, here is a 30-second sample from Amazon:

    Whew, one cup of coffee saved…

    By the way, you should be able to listen to the entire song on Rhapsody for free without an account.
