Originally issued under the title \u003ci\u003eThe Outside Man\u003c\/i\u003e on Capitol Records in 1970 with an alternative cover, this reissue replicates the Groove Merchant release titled \u003ci\u003eLove Ain't Nothin' But A Business Goin' On\u003c\/i\u003e featuring the car cover released in 1971.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mississippi-born, Memphis-based blues singer, harmonica player and songwriter Junior Parker (aka Little Junior Parker) had a stellar career in music. Since the early 1950s he released records on labels such as \u003cstrong\u003eDuke, Mercury, United Artists Records\u003c\/strong\u003e and more. Sadly though, Parker died at the young age of 39 during surgery on November 18, 1971.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally released under the alternate title a year before his untimely death, \u003ci\u003eLove Ain't Nothin' But a Business Goin' On\u003c\/i\u003e is drenched in Parker's trademark buttery vocals and soulful grooves, swaggering between \u003cstrong\u003esmokey blues, raw funk outings and orchestrated soul ballads\u003c\/strong\u003e (with sublime arrangements by \u003cstrong\u003eHorace Ott\u003c\/strong\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album also features \u003cstrong\u003ethree Beatles cover versions\u003c\/strong\u003e in the form of 'Taxman', 'Lady Madonna' and 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. For 'Taxman', Parker completely reinterprets the song taking into a New Orleans funk realm, a sample of which was used as the main hook line on \u003cstrong\u003eCypress Hill's classic\u003c\/strong\u003e 'I Wanna Get High'. Elsewhere, 'Tomorrow Never Knows' is flipped into a tripped-out, psychedelic soul-swamp blues ballad, whilst 'Lady Madonna' is given a funky blues makeover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs shown with Cypress Hill's use of 'Taxman', since the '70s Parker's legacy has been immortalised for future generations through the deep well of samples that his music has become a source of. Tracks from \u003ci\u003eLove Ain't Nothin' But a Business Goin' On\u003c\/i\u003e have been sampled by some of the biggest names out there, such as \u003cstrong\u003eA Tribe Called Quest, DJ Shadow and De La Soul.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA seriously smooth album oozing with soul and emotion from a Blues Hall of Fame inductee, Junior Parker's \u003ci\u003eLove Ain't Nothin' But A Business Goin' On\u003c\/i\u003e is a superb example of the \u003cstrong\u003eearly '70s crossover funk\/soul sound.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove Ain't Nothing But A Business Goin' On\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Outside Man\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDarling Depend On Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaxman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRivers Invitation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Wonder Where Our Love Has Gone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust To Hold My Hand\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou Know I Love You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLady Madonna\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTomorrow Never Knows\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420724482433,"sku":"2322921","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/7119691296227.jpg?v=1750621214","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2322921","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
