60s instrumental experts: Need your help in ID-ing a song
Advertisements [?]
It is similar in tone to these songs:

"Soulful Strut" by Young-Holt Unlimited

"Grazing In The Grass" by Hugh Masakela

If it weren't the damned Internet I could hum it for you. It has a "hook," a horn figure, similar to "Soulful Strut" that goes "Da da da da DA, da da da da DA DA DA DA DA DA..." Helpful, I know, but...the horn figure is repeated throughout the track, so it's more than a standard "chorus." It's the kind of song that would have fit perfectly on one of the "Austin Powers" soundtracks, like Sergio Mendes' "Mas Que Nada," which was featured in the first film.

Please share the names of any and all horn-based instrumental tracks from the late 60s you can think of. It's close in feel to the two songs above. It is NOT "T.S.O.P" by Love Unlimited Orchestra and has no disco overtones at all...it is more of a mid-tempo jazz swing feel. It's not a Philly soul instrumental.

Thanks.
