New York City Band: Playboy Club, London
David Nathan, Blues & Soul, March 1974
SOMETIMES THE atmosphere or the vibes, whatever you want to call it, can have a profound effect on the performance of entertainers and if you're looking for a somewhat blasé set, you couldn't find a more seemingly nonchalant lot than those who frequent the disco at The Playboy in London. To each his own and so on, but have you ever heard of a couple dancing a waltz to James Brown's 'Stone To The Bone' well, if you ain't, you'll find it down there!
