Sunday Funk & Soul: Light of the World

With a string of classic Brit Funk, Dance Anthems notched up in the late 70's and early 80's there is no doubt that Light of the World laid the foundation for the British Dance/Street Soul movement.

The bands stunning musical prowess carved a formidable reputation both on vinyl and with their live stage work, before the band (initially an 8 piece aggregation) split into 4 units, Beggar & Co, Incognito, Brit Funk Association and Light of the World.

However the good news is LOTW are back in the studio again led by a creative nucleus of Gee Bello (Vocals/Percussion), Nat Augustin (Vocals/Guitar) and Mel Gaynor (Drums) accompanied by other great British and American musicians.

The new album Jazz Funk Power showcases a unique hybrid which meshes their considerable musical and authentic abilities.

"Great soulful tunes with a nostalgic feel but remaining contemporary, reaching into the past to bring us what the present needs" (John Osborne, Jazz FM)

Gee explained "the Jazz Funk Power album came about after realising that many of our favourite bands like Earth Wind and Fire, Incognito, Jamiroquai, Tower of Power, Brand New Heavies, Kool and The Gang and Chic were still enjoying success many decades later. With our records still being played across national and worldwide radio with digital streaming platforms too, we realised our music also has a timeless quality, therefore Jazz Funk really does have Power and Energy ... so it felt right to name the album Jazz Funk Power"

We are so happy that our music is now available Worldwide at the click of a button and thrilled to be making new music for our fans.
