flip flop stevens - "let's do that thing" part 1and 2 on shiptown! soul funk 45
Willie Stephen, better known as Flip Flop Stevens, was legendary in the
Tidewater area as a high energy performer. Flip's three known singles
offer some insight into just how dynamic his live shows must have been.
His first record for Shiptown, 1968's "Come On Let's Do That Thing",
even came complete with over dubbed crowd hysteria. In the next two
years Stevens went on to release two more 45's, both on Dynamite. "Live
Your Own Life" (available on the Ol' Virginia Soul:
Encore! CD) was his first for the new label, a 100 MPH funky soul
stormer widely regarded as his best.(FunkyVirginia)
