Storm Eunice hits London and so far it's not looking too bad.

But here we go with the next Going home for the Weekend tune, it's one heck of a a banger of a track, thanks Stretch for sharing this one with me.

Double Exposure, "Everyman (Has To Carry His Own Weight"

So another pair of two from two "Going home for the weekend" tunes. The first funnily enough popped up on my You Tube screen and what a track it is, taken from the 1973 album Black Byrd, by Donald Byrd, Sit back and enjoy this one, it's so good actually set it on repeat.

"Where Are We Going?"

And then another track from the ever reliable Bobby Womack with, "Across 110th Street". Two wonderful tracks that go all the way back to 1972 and 73. That's when they produced real music.

Not officially Spring yet, but a very Spring-like day at last...

An off-shoot of the Wedding Present, rather poignant under current circumstances

Please do give it a listen

So it's the early hours of Friday morning and I've been down the vaults pulling some more "Going home for the weekend" tracks. First of two bangers from Diana Ross and 40+ years since it was released, "I'm coming out", what a vocal, WoW.

That's followed closely by the 1979 release of "The boss", both tracks still sound so fresh today.

Donald Byrd, Change (Makes You Want To Hustle)

Another weekend is just around the corner, so it's time for some "going home for the weekend" tunes.

From all the way back to 1983, The Funkmasters, "Its Over"

And then even further back to 1979, this time it's a Roy Ayres tune, "Don't stop the feeling"
