Reunited with organist Larry Young — their last recording together — and joined by Harold Vick on tenor, Ben Dixon on drums and the great Candido Camero on congas, Green leans hard into the blues-soaked, danceable side of his playing without ever losing the melodic clarity and understated swing that made him singular. \"The Selma March\" opens with eight and a half minutes of slow-burning gospel-funk, \"Willow Weep For Me\" stretches into a luxurious ten-minute ballad reading, and \"The Cantaloupe Woman\" and \"Daddy Grapes\" deliver the greasy boogaloo grooves that would make Green a favorite of crate-diggers and samplers decades later. Mastered from the original analog tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed at Quality Record Pressings on 180-gram vinyl in a heavyweight tip-on jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180-gram vinyl, pressed at Quality Record Pressings (QRP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-analog mastering by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip-on jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerve Acoustic Sounds Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Verve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide One:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Selma March\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWillow Weep For Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide Two:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cantaloupe Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaddy Grapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"UMG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43626671472846,"sku":"199957085441","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5027\/0926\/files\/AVER_41458__198944__06182026041114-6107.jpg?v=1785024899","url":"https:\/\/www.theingroove.com\/de\/products\/pre-order-grant-green-his-majesty-king-funk-acoustic-sounds-series-lp","provider":"The 'In' Groove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
