Bobby Byrd

NEVER GET ENOUGH is a classic and overdue vinyl release written and performed by the legendary
Funkateer BOBBY BYRD.
“Wow, that’s really me”, marveled Bobby Byrd, with a smile on his face, “I had totally forgotten
about these tracks...”
It was the year 1993 when the Godfather’s Godfather, at least Soulbrother # 1, as Fred Wesley calls
him, probably the most warm-hearted and soulful gentleman on Planet Funk, was sitting in the living
room/office of his back then, brand new label Soulciety Records in Hamburg, Germany, listening to
some of his old 7” singles.
When Soulciety released the studio album “On the Move (I Can’t Get Enough)” in 1994, the album
became a somewhat hoped for, but still unexpected success. Rare Groove-enthusiasts the world
over, who knew about Bobby’s songs as well as the ones he wrote with James Brown (e.g.: “Sex
Machine”), plus all the Hip Hop-fans who dug him from the countless times his songs had been
sampled (Eric B. & Rakim used almost all of Bobby’s version for their hit “I Know You Got Soul”),
loved these fresh but original sounding recordings. For the first time ever, this classic is now available
on a SEDSOULCIETY RECORDINGS 7” vinyl, including the never released instrumental version on the
flip side.
