Spitballs

Artist: Spitballs

LP: Spitballs
Song: "Knock On Wood"
[ listen ]

Here's a great (but unfortunately short) cover of the 1978 Amii Stewart disco hit, originally written and performed by Eddie Floyd in 1966. From what I can find online, this seems to be Spitballs' one and only album (released in 1978), but it's pretty fantastic. Not sure if this band photo on the back of the LP is to be believed, since their music doesn't sound like a 21-man enterprise. my guess is that the core of Spitball is the four gents in dark suits and that the rest of these guys are just dancers.
