In the late '50s and on through the 1960s, Phoenix, Arizona, was home to a thriving R&B scene. Though no other song catapulted onto the national charts like Dyke and the Blazer's signature Funky Broadway, inspired by the South Phoenix road of the same name, regional soul and funk acts picked up steam in the Valley of the Sun as established artists passed through on the way to the West Coast and performers traveled along the bustling Southern California to Texas black corridor. Culled from the vaults of Arizona music archivist and legendary Arizona disc jockey John Johnny D Dixon, You Gotta Have Soul: Raw Sonoran R&B and Funk (1957-1971), compiles essential desert R&B rarities, from Chuck Womack and the Sweet Souls' breakbeat heavy Ham Hocks & Beans to the raw snap of Jimmie Playboy McKnight's Little Anne to the brown-eyed Latin soul of Eddie Dimas & the Upsets. Chuck Womack ; the Sweet Souls Ham Hocks ; Beans Pt. 1 (1970), Lon Rogers and the Soul Blenders Too Good to Be True (1968), The Tads Wolf Call (1957), Jimmie Playboy McKnight with Henry Mojo Thompson Little Ann (1962), Eddie Dimas ; the Upsets Cry Cry Cry (1966), Butch McGee Stacked (1958), The Four Dimensions You Gotta Have Soul (1966), Brother Zee ; the Decades W/M.M. Combo Smokey the Bear (1963), The Soulsations Funky Night Club (1967), Little Worley ; the Drops Who Stole My Girl (1961), Chuck Womack ; the Sweet Souls Ham Hocks ; Beans Pt. 2
