It's a gritty, hard, southern soul sound that peaked just before the disco invasion.

Sounds a little like James Brown ,and a lot like Sly Stone & the Family Stone, Buddy Miles , The Barkay's and Archie Bell and the Drells. James Knight & the Butlers was one of South Florida top bands of that era and there group performance was a site to see.
