Courtial – Don’t You Think It’s Time
December 5, 2006
COURTIAL w/ ERROL KNOWLES – DON’T YOU THINK IT’S TIME
A killer Soul/Funk album recorded in 1976 and released on Pipeline (# PR 2001), a small label from Woodside, California.
One of the tracks (“Am I Losing You”) was included on the “California Soul” comp a couple years back on Ubiquity/Luv N Haight’s, a classic.
I personally like the album all the way through.
I remember that the father of a strutter was a friend of Bill Courtial back in the 70’s.
Dude has posted about that a while back [couldn't find the thread because it might be older than 1 year], he shared the album with us, that’s how I discovered the whole LP.
I want to thank him again.
Staff :
— Bill Courtial : guitar
— Pete “Coke” Escovedo : conga
— Errol Knwoles : vocals
— Edward Williams III : bass
— Geoffrey White : drums
— Jose Najera : percussions
Thanks – this is the music i really need at the moment!
It is a really good Album. My dad is Ed Williams, the bassist in the group and he wrote “don’t you think it’s time” among others. He just had a birthday last week and the whole courtial group showed up as a suprize. They played and it was frikin tight. It’s so nice to know that folks dig on this stuff.
WOOORRRRRDDDDDDDD!
Thank you for the message.
Devin, tell your dad I love this album.
Tell him a dude from Paris (FRANCE) is wishing him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Do you think you’re dad (or you) would like to tell us (at http://www.soulstrut.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php) some stories about the group?
We keep in touch.
Bzpt.
Hello,
thanks for posting this, this is really really great.
is there a skip on track 3? does anyone have a copy of the track 3 without the skip?
thanks guys!
Devon, I knew Bill Courtial in the early 80’s when they were performing in the Palo Alto, CA area; I am REALLY interested in acquiring a copy, vinyl or CD, of that incredible album. Can you help me?
You have the “staff” section wrong. It should read:
* Bill Courtial: Guitar
* Errol Knowles: Vocals
* David ‘Dasher’ Kempton: Keyboards
* Bass: Ed Williams III
* Drums: Geoff Whyte
* Percussion: Jose Najera
Pete and Coke Escovedo were brothers and neither one were on this album, although they were friends with Bill and Errol as they had all been part of Azteca. Coke passed away in 1986.
Hey, cool tips. I’ll buy a bottle of beer to that man from that chat who told me to visit your site
