TAXIE [2021] - Rock Don't Stop / I Think I'm Falling In Love With You [Epsilon #EPS 008]


The latest offering from Yann Vatiste's Epsilon imprint is a reissue of "Rock Don't Stop" / "I Think I'm Falling In Love With You" the only single released by L.A. group TAXIE in 1979 on Archwood. It was reissued in 2015 by Melodies International on a limited run 12". However, the new release contains alternative mixes of the two sides. I've included YouTube clips of the original versions for comparison.

"Rock Don't Stop" is boogie funk number with the flip "I Think I'm Falling In Love With You" being a sweet soul harmony ballad/stepper.
TAXIE were formed in 1978 by three friends Woody Whittaker, Ronnie Arch, and Wayne Chatman who founded Cabfare Productions under which they created Archwoods Productions and Archwoods Publishing. Adding musicians/song writers, Charles (Ice Cream) Williams, Oneida James, and  vocalist Carlita Durhan (the original guitarist for the group Taste Of Honey) they performed throughout L.A.'s Hollywood circuit as TAXIE (Talented Artist Xclusively In Entertainment) opening for Stevie Wonder, Dennis Edwards and the Mary Jane Girls.

The single is available digitally for £2 or on vinyl £17.50 incl. UK shipping or £22.50 with international shipping from Epsilon
