It’s that time of year again where we reflect on the past and start planning for the future. We had some awesome 45s available on Parker’s Records this past year and we’d like to send you into the New Year with 3 more. 2 of the 45s in our December ’22 list were the only records on their corresponding labels making them highly desirable! You’ll be sure to keep warm during the blizzard this year with these groovin’ 45s.
Dexter & Wanda: How Can I Show You / Past, Present & Future
Label: Caress 81739. Released 1976.
A Side: How Can I Show You
B Side: Past, Present & Future
This 45 from Dexter & Wanda was the only record on the Caress label and it’s most definitely one worth checking out. Dexter & Wanda were a true funk/disco powerhouse vocal duo that’s hard not to like. The A side “How Can I Show You” has it all from male and female vocals, groove, key changes & so much more. Flip the 45 over and keep the funk going with “Past, Present & Future”. Grab this one of a kind 45 while you can!

We are keeping the funky soul vibes going with our 2nd 45 of December from James Dee & A Piece of the Action. The A side is somewhat of a homage to a little artist named James Brown. Maybe you’ve heard of him? From the first note you’ll understand why it’s called “Brother James”. If you didn’t know the difference, you might even think this track was recorded by James Brown himself.
