A mysterious rogue hailing from Washington DC, Frank Mitchell Jr. has a voice like honey and the sensibilities of a man that’d make Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield blush.Side A features the no-nonsense roller-skating disco jam “Booty Lock.”Rubbery bass, wah-wah guitars, and silky horns don’t even begin to describe the naughtiness within.The B side, in  this case “B” for “bad ass,” features “Body and Mind” another future soul classic.Just get a little closer and let the rhythm grab you by the hips and draw you in!

Also Available as Digital & 7” vinyl

Here is a streaming  version! We'd love to work with you on premiering it, or anything you see fit if you enjoy the tunes. Feel free to post for stream on any of your sites!
