"Soul Makossa"(originally by Mamu Dibango) was recorded by several
artists (Check out Pure Records comp.). Another artist who covered the
song is Mighty Tomcats ,released the song from Paul Winley Records.
Actually, I've been looking for the Mighty Tomcats album. Any info
regarding the group or the album will be highly appriciated.

"Let's Do the Laten Hustle", by Eddie Brennon & B.B.S Unlimited, was a
hit single in 1975.
I have their album called "Collage" ,from Friends & Co. Records. the
album includes the song, and the album is disco oriented ,however, some
funk is added. I don't know if they released any other albums or singles,
though.
