Mickey & The Soul Generation — Give Everybody Some!
Give Everybody Some! is a deep-funk treasure that captures the raw energy, groove, and community spirit of 1970s independent soul music. Originally recorded in Kansas City, Mickey & The Soul Generation weren't chasing chart success—they were building irresistible rhythms for dance floors, block parties, and anyone who understood the power of a locked-in groove.
Led by brothers Mickey and Chris Baker, the band blended funk, soul, jazz, and R&B into a sound that was both sophisticated and streetwise. The rhythm section is relentless, the horn arrangements are sharp and punchy, and every track feels alive with the spontaneity of musicians feeding off one another in real time. There's very little polish here—and that's exactly what makes it special.
For years, the group's recordings were largely known through collectors, DJs, and crate-diggers who recognized the band's unique ability to create grooves that felt both tight and explosive. As funk reissues and rare-groove compilations gained popularity, Give Everybody Some! found a new audience and earned its reputation as an underground classic.
