DAVID BATISTE AND THE GLADIATORS - FUNKY SOUL PARTS 1 & 2/FUNKY HIPS PARTS 1 & 2 (MINT CONDITION)

David Batiste & The Gladiators were a band of brothers formed during their high school years in 1961. The band played all over 'The Big Easy' and were one of the hottest shows at the time. Winning a talent show at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem in 1965, this band was ahead of the curve and one of the bands laying the groundwork for what would go on to become the funk phenomena.
