Warren Kime deserves top billing in the "now sound" hall of fame for his three remarkable Command albums featuring his Brass Impact band. With their bright yellow-brass covers, these records stand out from the crowd in the bins and on the turntable, and offer an intense, delicious blend of groovy tunes, splashy instrumental arrangements, and ecstatic vocal highlights (featuring Warren's wife Donna in the lead). If I were recording magnate for a day, these would be the first things I'd reissue. Run--don't walk--to your nearest thrift store and start hunting for them.
