Help Is On The Way is a quality piece of jazz funk that was released on the superb Harlem International Records way back in 1981 when I was just the plump old age of two. The band is the Whatnauts, a trio of singers from Baltimore in the U.S.A who don’t have a massive discography which explains why some of their music is a little hard to come by. This absolute bomb has one of the most insatiable bass lines that your ears will ever have the pleasure, check the Instrumental for full effect and soak it up.

If your thinking you’ve heard that bass line before, well it was also pinched and put to great use by the probably more familiar Fat Larry’s Band in their smash hit Act Like You Know, which was released approximately about a year later. Have to mention that Help Is On The Way was mixed by the sadly lost, but not forgotten Tee Scott. Tee Scott was making records for the likes of Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles pre The Garage, Music Box etc. His DJ sets down at the Zanzi Bar in New Jersey were described as some what legendary, his productions are timeless classics and Help Is On The Way is no exception.

Anyway…just wait for the break at around the 3 minutes 55 seconds mark…ouch!!!
