With “Times Are Tight” we have the missing link of the “soul chain” where Neddy Smith, Steve Kahn & Co.,Touche’, Maxine Singleton, Jagg … have found a pinch of glory. The history began 40 years ago when S.P.Q.R. (sub-label of Best Record) released “Danceteria”, a wonderful compilation with 10 disco-soul-funk songs produced in the States among which the fantastic tune written, arranged and performed by Jimmy Young, still relevant today, that during the summer 1983 was rocking half world’s dancefloors. The vocal side of “Times Are Tight” is so good for vibe and sentiment, while the instrumental version is early 80’s disco-funk perfection. Great groove with really interesting instrumentation and variation. Yes indeed! This is the classic funk anthem from the early 80’s – the lyrics are so apt for the current economic situation “Don’t give up, your day is coming!”
