2251 The Cosmic Sound Orchestra - Listen to the Beat

From: Fly Some Funk Up To The Moon; Year: 1978; Genre: Funk/Soul

I'm going for a third Funky Friday pick in a row with this funky and rare track from, as far as I know, the only album The Cosmic Sound Orchestra ever released. As you might surmise from the band's name and that of the album they have a "spacy" sound combined with their funky sound as well as a smattering of disco. Quite an excellent band and song most have never heard before.
