@hannibalhector562: Title: Soulful Strut Artist: Young-Holt Unlimited Released: November 1968 Album: Soulful Strut Genre: Soul Jazz / Instrumental R&B Label: Brunswick Records Length: ~2:55 Producer: Carl Davis ⸻ Background: • Soulful Strut is actually an instrumental version of the song “Am I the Same Girl” originally recorded by Barbara Acklin. However, her vocals were removed, and a piano melody was added by studio musician Floyd Morris. • It became a much bigger hit than the original vocal version — peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the U.S. R&B chart. • The track is credited to Young-Holt Unlimited, a soul-jazz instrumental group formed by drummer Isaac “Redd” Holt and bassist Eldee Young, formerly of the Ramsey Lewis Trio. Musical Style: • The song is built around a catchy, strutting piano riff, smooth horns, and a funky backbeat. • It perfectly captures that late ’60s blend of soul, jazz, and pop — a breezy, feel-good instrumental with serious groove. #music #funk #oldies #hiphop #disco #rock #classicrock #kroq #jazz #soul #neosoul #youngholtunlimited
