Leroy Hutson – She’s Got It / Classy Lady

Leroy Hutson brings his distinctive soul and funk artistry to this 1982 Elektra release, a compact yet impactful 12-inch single. Hutson, who had established himself as a respected figure in soul and funk music, demonstrates his continued relevance during the early 1980s with this two-track offering. The A-side, "She's Got It," stretches across eight minutes of groove-laden funk that showcases Hutson's smooth vocal delivery over an infectious instrumental arrangement. The track epitomizes the funk sensibilities that defined much of the era's dance music landscape. The B-side, "Classy Lady," provides a more concise five-and-a-half-minute companion piece that maintains the album's disco-influenced funk aesthetic. Both tracks reflect the transitional period of early 1980s soul music, where traditional funk elements merged with emerging disco influences. This single represents Hutson's work during a period when extended dance versions and funk-oriented soul records dominated the 12-inch vinyl market. For collectors seeking authentic early-80s funk and soul, this Elektra release offers an accessible entry point into Hutson's prolific catalog, capturing the artist at a creatively active moment in his career.
