Nola Records1966 ‎– 735

notes:

Few records capture the raw groove and infectious rhythm of 
classic New Orleans funk quite like “Everybody's Hip Huggin / Foxy Mama” 
by Robert Parker. Released on Nola Records 735, this rare soul-funk 45
 delivers the deep rhythmic energy and street-level atmosphere that
 made Southern recordings from the era so memorable.
Best known for his saxophone-driven style and timeless rhythm & blues sound, 
Robert Parker helped shape the rich musical identity of New Orleans. 
On this single, the driving beat, tight horn arrangements, and gritty
 vocal delivery combine to create an irresistible dance-floor groove.
“Everybody's Hip Huggin” carries a contagious funk rhythm filled with 
classic brass textures and vintage soul energy, while “Foxy Mama” delivers 
a heavier groove rooted in deep Southern funk traditions. Together, 
both tracks reflect the authentic sound collectors 
continue to search for in rare vinyl releases.
For vinyl enthusiasts, rare groove DJs, and classic soul fans, 
Robert Parker’s “Everybody's Hip Huggin / Foxy Mama” remains 
a standout addition to any serious funk collection.
