From two seperate collections purchased yesterday, we found two seperate party 45 gems. I ask of you: Which one is sweeter?
The first is an obvious hipster choice. Clarence Jackson’s 1975 Detroit funk track on super-cool Valtone, titled Party Time. B side is Party Time instrumental. Notable British northern soul/funk sites have dubbed this 45 as guarenteed to fill the dance floor.
Simple, celebratory funk, Detroit style.
The next 45 isn’t hipster friendly, upon first glance. A Sammy Kaye on RCA Victor? To the warehouse YOU go! But when we looked closer, one of us uttered a “whooaa” and the other a “no way.” Yes, the title of the song is one of the best ones we have ever come across.
Makin’ Love Ukulele Style.
Wow.
So what to do with these two? I’m tempted to keep them both to have on hand for my next party. I’ll begin the party with Party Time, but end the party with Makin’ Love Ukulele Style.
*Update*: Alert reader Woodshed has a site dedicated to Ukuleles. I highly recommend it.

I’m biased towards any ukulele track, but both of those are great. How come I never get invited to parties that play music this good?

Woodshed, I checked out your site…That is truly amazing. You have inspired me to continue looking for ukulele songs. Maybe I stumbled upon Makin’ Love Ukulele style by chance, but maybe…..it was fate.
Thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed the song. Don’t forget to check out the remix I posted, Makin’ Love Ypsilanti Style.

Thanks for the kind comments and the links. Ypsilanti Style is hilarious, love it. Be careful, ukulele songs are highly addictive.
