T.H.S (The Horne Section) – The Unreleased Album (1982-83)

Hi Funkers!



I'm always searching the web for great funk to add to the collection. I found this album on one of my favourite's blogs. Check this album out....you won't be disappointed. 




The Unreleased Album (1982-83)
Henry Horne born in Philadelphia Pa, 1960.
Began playing guitar at the age of 8 years old and then added the drums to his musical talents by the age 10. Although being able to play drums and guitar equally, Henry got most of his gigs as a guitar player with local bands around the Philadelphia area up to his late teens. At 19 years of age Henry adapted to the bass and felt a strong passion for the piano as well. Thats when the songwriting began. Henry started recording his songs using two cassette decks and an audio mixer. Bouncing back and forth and adding the different instruments each time becoming his own rhythm section. The only thing that was missing was a voice.
Roger Garnett was born in Philadelphia, Pa. 1959.
Began singing at the age of 5 and would win talent shows all through his school years. Roger began playing congas as well as being the lead singer in various local bands around Philadelphia. He had a style like nobody else. He could go from singing something staccato to a funk beat and change instantly to singing a smooth pop melody with a voice as light as a feather. Roger also had something else that made him a good entertainer, He just happend to be a good dancer which made him quite a good showman up front.
Henry was determined to get his band concept “The Horne Section” off the ground but for the time being, “The Horne Section” was just the name he used to copyright his music since he was playing all the tracks by himself. Henry met a man who’s name was Leroy Roebuck. Leroy wanted him to produce a singing group he had come across which consisted of 3 members. He even made Henry is young partner and they created a their own record company which they decided to call Roebuck Records. Though everyone was struggling, they believed in each other and most importantly, they believed in the music and the dream. Leroy even borrowed money to buy Henry a Fender Rhodes electric piano so he wouldn’t have to keep borrowing keyboards from his friends to keep the songwriting going. Leroy conviced Henry to take the bull by the horn and sent him into the studio to create recordings for the singing group. Roger was the only singer out of the 3 that didn’t have trouble staying on key. So Henry and Leroy decided to put Roger with the The Horne Section concept and they became the dynamic duo THS in 1982.  (info extracted from inner cover of cd)

Udell - Won't you try 1977


I've been collecting Disco & Funk for 25 years now but this track was before my time. Just discovered it last year and I'm really hooked.

I've been searching the net for more info on this guy ( Udell Anderson ) but only came up with 2 tracks. (Girls, Girls , Girls 1974 as being the other track)

Just wondering if any of you has more info on this great singer....

Check out the track
